Counterblast Teaser #1: The 1950’s Color Palette

   Well, the goodies from the Counterblast Kickstarter are not due out until at least August, but we’re chomping at the bit over here, so we decided to get ahead by painting up a few Bombshell Miniatures we have.

   But what colors to use? Why, a 1950’s palette, of course! The 1950’s are widely regarded as a Golden Age of Sci-fi, so what better color palette to use for our alien cats, jet bikes and space squids?

Reader Request- Martian Bases

Welcome to our first Reader Request article! Dennis Jansson from the Warzone- Mutant Chornicles Facebook Page asked us how we made the Martian base shown in What Did I Paint This Week, and we are more than happy to oblige. Would you believe you can outfit pretty much a whole army for ten dollars?

What did I paint this week? June 15th

Okay, I know, I missed last week.  Last minute revisions on some writing work literally ate up my weekend, and I have the dishes and crumbs to prove it.  However, here's a nice look at some work last week, and some new pieces done this week!

What did I paint this week? June 1st

Yeah, I know, I'm behind on these again.  I promise nothing in these pictures were painted after the first.
(Actually, the models were photographed on Saturday the 31st.)  My schedules just been a bit "happily hectic" recently.  Since I have a few projects finishing up last week and this week, I should be able to get back to a regular painting- and blogging!- schedule once again.

Enough yappin', time to show some finished soldierdolls!

Zombie of the Month: Undead Legionnaires

   Okay, up until now, I’ve been buying general zombies strictly designed to increase my horde. Most of them aren’t even associated with a specific game. But the REASON I chose zombies for my wargaming collection is that there are so many games for which “zombie” is an appropriate figure type for at least part of one army’s forces, so there’s always somewhere to stick them on the table. But just because we have endless substitutions doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also have a game’s official minis for the purpose. And so, since I (obviously) play the Dark Legion when we play Warzone: Resurrection, I have some delightful zombies for you this month carrying guns that are way too big for dead, mindless things to be lugging around:

Best Jetbike on the Market!

So, I know I've been crowing a lot recently about Counterblast, and some of the models in the line.  Well, this is one you gotta see to believe.  In all my years in the hobby, I've never seen a Jetbike this well designed.
