About the Project

So, another project!! I went to Adepticon in March with the full intention of not getting into nor buying miniatures for another new games or systems....... that lasted all of about the first day there. The best laid plans of mice and men are often utter bollox! Thanks to a couple of streamer mates Reiner72 and Flikstrr and ofc the creator of Judgement Andrew Galea, I got sucked into Judegement (the game). I mean 54mm scale miniatures........ my favourite scale! I was damned before I even started~!! So after getting taught the game by Reiner72 and Andrew back at the hotel suites we were all staying at and then a full 3V3 game against Reiner72, I was sucked in and came home with three of the ever growing range of heroes (and monsters) - Thorgar the minotaur gladiator (who seriosuly helped me win my first game), Haksa the orc shaman and Kvarto the human pariah. The miniatures for Judgement are absolutely gorgeous and cast in resin, my fav material to paint. BUT they are not just gorgeous minis, the game is really awesome as well! So, here is where we'll be putting WiPs and pics of finished Judgement characters!

And onto our next Judgement hero. This one is not actually mine but a commission for a viewer.

Piper is a half-elf illussionist who in game can cast an illusion of himself which is a blinder when other heroes try to attack him. There’s actually two minis to this figure – One is Piper himself coming out of the wall adn then there is the illusion Piper which he is casting. Have made a wee start on him  -skin sketched in, wall foundation work done adn started on his leathers.  In Judgement there is sooooooo much leather!!!

With Nephenee all finished (still need to get photos of her done) it’s on to my next Judgement model – Sharn the orc warrioress. Sharn is my first defender class as the rest of my crew so far are mostly aggressors. Steadily working my way towards the necc 7 heroes needed for a 5v5 pick’n’ban game. But I just know i wont stop there – lol

Sharn Begins.........

Sharn’s metallics are all done with Darkstar paints. My usual ages steel workup of  a bronze followed by a gold followed by a steel and then dulled down with a black brown glaze. There’s a pdf on my full metals workup over in the subs-lounge on Discord.

Her skin and leathers are done with Scale 75 Scalecolour and Scale 75 F&G paints.
Working towards a more subdued ochre/green skin tone rather than the more usual comic book green orcs.

Lot’s still to be done on Sharn as I prep another Judgement mini called Piper for paint as well. Piper however is not one of mine but a commisssion piece. Gorgeous mini that I’ll pop some photos up of soon – Half elf rogue illusionist!
His model features two Pipers………. one is the real Piper and one is an illussion but which is which?!?!

Trying to catch up on my ongoing plogs! Been a wee while but have actually 3 more Judgement minis finished…… well 2 of them photographed, the third is still awaiting a photo time!

First up is the finished Kvarto who I was working on when I started this plog!! He’s all done and dusted!

So much detail on these minis! My fav bit on Kvarto I think is the little rat gnawing his way out of the bag at the back!! That and the eye staring out from a hole in teh bucket helmet!So much detail on these minis! My fav bit on Kvarto I think is the little rat gnawing his way out of the bag at the back!!

Next up is Allandir the elf ranger. The model itself was a dream to work on but the base gave me a chance to really try a few new things out – moss, muddy riverbed etc. Had a lotta fun on this guy and he is now on the Judgement website 🙂

I’ve also finished another elf character called Nephenee – a scifi enforcer but havent taken any photos just yet!

Spent the day working on Kvarto’s skintones. He really is a dirty dirty fella!

Kvarto Starto

Kvarto the human Pariah starts.  A rather gross sculpt with more than just a subtle wee nod to Total Recall is Kvarto and his long dead twin brother, Mr. Squidgy (not his official name btw). Kvarto is a hybrid class in the game with a little bit of aggressor and a littel bit of supporter about him.

The combo of rank old cloth and leather and battered weathered stained metal armour makes him right up my alley in terms of painting.

I used the heathen brush to get his base skin tones in – light greens in the recesses over a yellowy flesh tone to get  a sickly unclean base colour to his skin. With a basic skin colour put down with the airbrush, I switched over to hairy brush and started to refine the skin:  bringing it up with some slightly richer skin tone thin layers to make sure he looks alive rather than undead.  Next will start to bring up some skin highlights before some final shadow and recess glazing to increase the volumes and add in some patches of bruised, angry and enflamed skin and add a little more grime and unwashedness to the guy.

Here’s where he is at now

The first two of the three Judgement minis I brought back from Adepticon have just been finished and finally photographed. There’s no real WiPs for these biys as I finished them already!!

Thorgar The Minotaur GladiatorThorgar The Minotaur Gladiator

Thorgar was an absolute pleasure to paint. Monster of a mini. In game he is an aggressor…. unsurprisingly enough!

Came up with a few new workups for his metal bits – the aged bronze shoulder armour and manica and a blackened dark steel for his manacles.  Tried a new ‘old but keened’ steel workup as well for his axe. All the metals are done with Darkstar’s Molten Metals.

Lotta research for this guy re: horns and hooves. Not something I regularly paint!!

Anyways here he is,  the mighty Thorgar of Zaiqah

Just recently finished is Haksa the Orc Shaman, supporter class.

Haksa took an age to finish as he has sooooo much detail to him!! Bones n leaves n other Shamany junk all over to him. And of course a bloody totem pole that he’s hanging off – troll on a pole!

I really couldnt be arsed going the usual route with an orc and painting him green so decided to give him quite a raw blushed skin workup and cover him in tribal ritual shamany tatts. He does have a slight green glaze put to him in the shadowws n recesses but not too strong.

Gorgoeus mini to paint, pain in the backside to finish!!
