It Came from the Lightbox: TAG Raid

Leave a reply

I’ve been making huge progress on getting TAG Raid!

I channeled my enthusiasm for Infinity into trying to get the box fully painted, and I’m almost there!

I’m currently slogging my way through the Scenery Pack (which honestly has felt like a HUGE chore) and the Stoorwurm; that’s as fad as I’ll take it for now. I’ll still have 2 more Megabeasts (which I’ll paint if I ever get the game to table) and the Morats (which I’ll paint after I “solve” how I want to paint the new Morat sculpts) to finish.

I missed the hunters when I painted the Nomads and Ariadnan forces, so I had to catch them up when I did the Minerbots and Van Zandt (hence the updated photos).

In getting ready to head to NOVA, I realized I had a few unpainted gaps in what I planned to bring, so I filled those… and then kept going a bit further. I still have more OCF to paint before I have the entire sectorial painted, but at this point it’s just Exrah (blocked while waiting on a replacement bit to find its way to me from Vigo) and alternate loadouts.

It Came from the Lightbox: Cyberpunk RED: Combat Zone Arasaka

That’s kind of a mouthful of a post title.

As with Dead Man’s Hand, I’ve neglected to post my painted Cyberpunk minis because I’ve been meaning to post about the game itself and the things I like about it. Haven’t gotten around to it, though, so here we go.

These are the Arasaka minis. I thought I’d try the Vincent Knotley style of painting – contrast, then a couple of highlights. It came out fine, but honestly GW Basilicanum Grey followed by GW Black Templar? I’d get the same results and faster by just painting a normal acrylic black.

How is it I haven’t posted these before? Probably because I keep meaning to write up a post about why Dead Man’s Hand is the platonic ideal for what I want out of a minis game…

I’ve been working on DMH for a couple of months: I’ve painted up a couple of posses for it:

These are Lawmen:

These are either Outlaws or Desperados as one inclines:

Cowboys, but more to supplement either the good guys or the bad guys as needed.

Mountain Men:

“Legends of the West” – Lee Van Cleef (“Best of the Bad”), Jonah Hex, Calamity Jane, some guy who I think looks like Kris Kristofferson (but I think is actually from some Aussie Western), and a Preacher.

Lotta dogs on the terrain sprues, so I had to do a cheeky multibase with my two puppers.

Also spent about a month grinding out some terrain for it. The town’s mostly done: need to paint some livestock and figure out some trees for it. Its name:

Since taking these photos I’ve gotten some furniture painted for the interiors.

I’m pretty happy with how it’s come out.

I posted up the rules for these (blood)suckers but not the photos.

It Came from the Lightbox: Bushido Ryu

Semi-locally, Bushido’s picking up some more heat which has forebrained it for me. One of the ways this manifested was an impulse to paint up the older Bushido 3E starter. It comes with 3 Ryu and 3 Ito models, and it’s kind of a good little demo box.
