I had purchased about 7 Schleich New Heroes figures for a small demo. The large 1:18 scale figures will be good for a curious audience. Then I discovered that maybe at any convention I go to there might be players that would be interested in female characters. And so I bought more. With the cheetah, I have 14 figures.
Anyhow, Damon promised that he'd work on some drop-cloth terrain for a sandy arena. As a result I decided to complete basing all my figures on 3-inch felt moving pads upon 3-inch wood disks. I glued some wood bark on a few of the bases, primed them and covered them in various shades of yellow and tan.
Coating Stuff
Here's what I got for the figures:
|
Yep. It's wood. |
|
First coat of tan above black base coat. |
|
I tried to leave bits of black showing.
At the left figure you can see the wood bark. |
|
Bright yellow dry-brush upon the tan. |
|
Dry-brush with light tan to tone down the bright yellow. |
|
Same as before. I don't have a pic but the
next step was dry-brush white in spots
and dry-brush tan in even fewer spots. |
The Fighters
|
Minotaur and gladiator. |
|
Cyclops and Spartan. |
|
Medieval figures. I think the one on
the right with the battle-axe is also female. Hmm. |
|
Dual wielder and Egyptian. |
|
Centaur and Cheetah. |
|
Roman and African |
|
Wildling and Northerner |
What's Next
All that is left now is for me to get some simple arena terrain.
Very cool figs and bases look good.
ReplyDelete@Simon Q; hopefully Schleich and Papo will expand their product lines to include more gladiators.
