Fallout III

Here are some more of my Post Apocalypse miniatures. With the Super Mutants you can really tell that the dullcoate wasn't very Dull, they need another coat of dullcoate to get rid of the shine. Most of the time I use Testors Dullcoate, but have been testing some other lately as a couple of cans of Testors didn't dull the minis well. Many of the hobby store ones do not come out flat, they have more of a matte to satin shine left when dry. I will let you know results of the search for a really good dull coat when I find one. 

Modiphius Miniatures in front of an Atomic Laser cut building, you can see why they need another spray of dullcoate.

A Raider leader again from Modiphius Miniatures.

Group of Mercenaries, I do not know who makes these minis. I got them in a grab bag at a flea market, they painted up nicely. The build in the above and below, is from TTCombat Terrain I believe.

Mercenary Commander and support at the top of the tower.

Minutemen from Modiphius, they are the good guys in Fallout 4. I need to go back and do the base edges in flat black, deciding form the pics I don't like the gloss I used.

Another group of survivors at the Urgent care. The one on the left is a minis I printed off from an .stl file, it is of a ghoul character that turns out to be a gunslinger. The other three are from Modiphius. The Building is again Atomic Laser Cut Terrain.

Had some trouble when one flat/dullcoate reacted badly with Hobby brand paint; which had already had problems with the Army Painter Primer. Thought I was going to have to strip the minis and start over, luckily I only had to do some repaint in spots. Those Minis were part of my Avar Army for SAGA, another of my future posts. I used to use Armory Primer and paints for my minis, with a few Pactra and other thrown in (as I still can't mix colors to match). These were good everytime, never had a problem with the prime as long as I remembered to allow the minis and paint get to the same temperature. The paints gave a good one coat coverage on top of the primer, even light colors did well. Then they stopped production of the Armory paints, rumor is because they had lead in them, (Lead minis with lead paint, you knew it and were careful). They must have just stopped production of the Primers as they can't be found, and store that do seem to have some want more than I want to pay.

I think next up are some of my Japanese figures. Either the Samurai period figures I have been doing for a game I was designing and is still under design. The minis look good, totally satisfied by them. It's the rules that didn't work the way I wanted. So back to the drawing board. Or the team I did up for the Reign in Hell ruleset. My cabal is based on Japanese mythology.

So until then enjoy and have fun gaming.
