These little guys are my test pieces for using army painter strong tone dip, getting ready to tackle all those minions and the inevitable repeat sculpts. I did find that the dip (applied by brush) darkens colours down alot so these had a little highlight with the base colours to punch them back up a bit.

I am moving on to getting the various 3d counters that the game uses painted up, and decided to knock out the insight markers first.

These are earned as the players explore the board for clues and typically convey bonuses in the boss fight confrontation at the end of the game & case file.

These were simply a base coat of Vallejo Tinny Tin, dry brushed with Vallejo Bright Bronze then given a citadel Nuln Oil wash for a slightly weathered look.  I used a satin varnish to keep a bit of  the shine.

I have been trundling along and decided to tackle the bosses from the core box plus the kickstarter ‘Ragnarok’ Rasputin with the electrified gauntlets.  I figure these guys will be making up the bosses of the first set of case files so should have a painted finale to look forwards to!

Just look at that manic happy face on Rasputin!

Progress continues with the completion of not one, but three Hellboys!  And another bust!  So here are some group shots of where I am at along with the colours used for Hellboy’s skin and on his stone fist/horns.
