Iron Man!


After showing the Incredible Hulk to a few friends of mine, it was suggested that I try doing minis of all the main Avengers. Originally, I thought it would be nearly impossible to do so, since Iron Man is pretty particular in his look. But one day when I was flipping through Reaper's store I found the mini that would make the task of making Iron Man a reality.

Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn


The last stretch goal for the first Bones Kickstarter by Reaper was a massive C'thulhu miniature. The entire backer base went wild over it, and I was one of them. It was so hectic that we broke the Kickstarter servers and I was lucky to get it into my pledge before the timer ran out (little did I know, that they were going to let us add more to our pledges in the pledge manager). This is the first of the large figures I've painted from the Bones campaign rewards I received, and I'm super pleased with the end result.

Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King Pledge Manager Opens!

Soda Pop has opened the Pledge Manager for Super Dungeon Explore: Forgotten King. But that's not the only news, since they are running it through their webstore, they've also opened it up to folks that may have missed out on the Kickstarter too!

Week of Relic Knights - Day Seven: Super Dungeon Explore Special Editions

It took 7 tubes of Kragle, many hours and even some blood, but I finally have all of the Relic Knights figures glued and mounted on bases. All this week I'm going to go through them faction by faction, with pictures of each mI love my SDEdel in a Week of Relic Knights!

Today's Faction: Super Dungeon Explore Special Editions!



Super Dungeon Explore! A lot of folks were put off that they were even offered up as part of the Kickstarter, but all the SDE fans rejoiced, and I was right there with them. These are sweet, and I do love me my SDE. These are a welcome addition in my book.

Week of Relic Knights - Day Six: Darkspace Special Editions

It took 7 tubes of Kragle, many hours and even some blood, but I finally have all of the Relic Knights figures glued and mounted on bases. All this week I'm going to go through them faction by faction, with pictures of each model in a Week of Relic Knights!

Today's Faction: Darkspace Special Editions!


Originally I thought these were just going to be bonus miniatures. But then it was announced that they were becoming Darkspace variants of their respective characters and they'd come complete with rules, cards and factions. These guys don't work for their original faction and instead, the Darkspace Calamity has twisted them and they are members of completely different factions.

Week of Relic Knights - Day Five: Prismatics

It took 7 tubes of Kragle, many hours and even some blood, but I finally have all of the Relic Knights figures glued and mounted on bases. All this week I'm going to go through them faction by faction, with pictures of each model in a Week of Relic Knights!

Today's Faction: Prismatics!


The Prismatics are a neat concept. A Prismatic Knight can lead a Cadre mixed with any of the 3 factions it has affinity with. Currently, the only models Prismatics can include in their Cadres are uniques, so you won't see Harbonath leading Diamond Corps. troopers or Candy leading the Hell's Belles. When these were all announced, I knew I had to pick them up, for anything the extra options in team building, even if it's a minor upgrade. It also helps that one is of Candy and Cola and I couldn't pass them up.

Week of Relic Knights - Day Four: Noh Empire

It took 7 tubes of Kragle, many hours and even some blood, but I finally have all of the Relic Knights figures glued and mounted on bases. All this week I'm going to go through them faction by faction, with pictures of each model in a Week of Relic Knights!

Today's Faction: Noh Empire


Space demons! Interstellar ogres? Overall brutes and badasses, that is all. The Noh Empire is one faction I wasn't sold on originally. They seemed kinda, meh. But when it came time to pick a fourth faction for the Kickstarter rewards I finally decided on them, and it was a tight race with the Corsairs. I didn't go all in on everything for these guys and it's actually something I kicked myself for later. After seeing the previewed models after the Pledge Manager had closed, I wish I had been able to pick up more of these guys. As it stands currently, they are not only the faction I have the minimum reward for, they are also the one I have the least options for, play wise.

Week of Relic Knights - Day Three: Doctrine

It took 7 tubes of Kragle, many hours and even some blood, but I finally have all of the Relic Knights figures glued and mounted on bases. All this week I'm going to go through them faction by faction, with pictures of each model in a Week of Relic Knights!

Today's Faction: Doctrine


Doctrine represent the Wizards, Socerers, Witches and arcane in the world of Relic Knights. Kisa's panther shaped Relic was one of the main reasons I went in for Doctrine. But I also was a fan of Hasami and Fiametta. These wizards and student mages are all pretty nice and I'm fairly pleased with how they turned out. There are a few issues though, but we'll get into that.

Week of Relic Knights - Day Two: Black Diamond

It took 7 tubes of Kragle, many hours and even some blood, but I finally have all of the Relic Knights figures glued and mounted on bases. All this week I'm going to go through them faction by faction, with pictures of each model in a Week of Relic Knights!

Today's Faction: Black Diamond

The mercenaries of the Black Diamond Corps are a wholly different group of folks, compared to the Cerci Speed Circuit. These guys are full on futuristic military, complete with AI tanks, soldiers in power armor and even a couple ninjas. They were my second pick when I was looking at what factions I wanted to pick up. In the end, the Black Dragons and One Shot were the big selling point. They're sweet!

Week of Relic Knights - Day One: Cerci Speed Circuit

It took 7 tubes of Kragle, many hours and even some blood (put a 1/2" long slice in my thumb with the x-acto knife) but I finally have all of the Relic Knights figures glued and mounted on bases. So starting today and for the next 6 days, I'm going to go through them all faction by faction, with pictures of each package's figures in a Week of Relic Knights!

Today's Faction: Cerci Speed Circuit!

These speed junkie street racers are the main reason I got into the Kickstarter to begin with. I thought Malya's Relic was sweet and I couldn't pass up the ultimate cuteness that is Mr. Tomn. I even bought the metal promo version from Soda Pop's webstore. Plus the Hell's Belles hover bikes just screamed to be painted up with neon colors and light effects. I'm hoping that I can get to paint them up soon, with custom made transfer decals and I might have to do custom flying bases... Anyways, on to the hotness!

New Challenger: King Starfire!



I finally got my hands on a copy of King Starfire! I had some extra cash from ebay auctions and Soda Pop gave Relic Knights backers a free $15 credit for use in their webstore (for Candy Heart, or anything else). So I splurged and picked him up, mainly because he was back in stock and I didn't want to wait any longer.

And boy am I glad I picked him up... he's sweet!
