Painting Poorly: Marvel: Crisis Protocol - Iron Man, Tony Stark

Become a Patron! by Atomic Mass Games "I Am Iron Man..." Let's be honest here. Until Robert Downey Jr. put on the red and gold armor, Iron Man wasn't really what we'd call an "A-Lister". Sure, some hardcore comic book fanatics knew he was a big deal, but more people on the street probably just thought he was a robot or something before 2008 . But now, here we are, some 12 years later with a bonafide cultural icon. Today, we're going to be painting ol' Shellhead from the Marvel: Crisis Protocol Starter Set using a few easy techniques that any beginning level painter can do. Let's get to it! 1. Gameplan, Prep, and Prime So, I have to have to hand it to Atomic Mass Games, they provide some high quality reference pictures on their website for all of their miniatures. If you're ever unsure of which colors should go where in whatever particular nook or cranny, I highly suggest visiting their website . To

Painting Poorly: A Song of Ice and Fire - Baratheon Wardens

Become a Patron! by CMON Games "Ours is the Fury..." Hey there, Westerosi! I know it's been awhile, but I'm still here. I took a detour to paint some superheroes and some street fighters , but my first and foremost love is A Song of Ice and Fire , so today, we're taking a look at one of the newer factions, the Baratheons, specifically looking at their standard foot soldier, the Baratheon Wardens. Not only do these guys come packed into the Baratheon Starter Set , they are actually a pretty easy paint job, and if you're new to painting miniatures, but you really wanted to play as everyone's favorite character, Shyra Errol , and the rest of the Baratheons, this is a good unit to learn with. Let's jump in! 1. Gameplan, Prep, and Prime Okay, so for these guys, we're going to be going with a pretty straightforward interpretation of the in game art: Plate metal with some gold accents here and there. For this, I've

Painting Poorly: Star Wars: Legion - General Grievous

Become a Patron! by Fantasy Flight Games "Army or Not, You Must Realize, You Are Doomed..." A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away... I, Mike Meeple, got Star Wars: Legion . I kind of resisted doing tutorials for this game, keeping it as kind of a game that was just for me and playing, but my readers have spoken. They want to see me do some low key simple paint jobs on these Rebel Scum and Space Nazis, so today we're starting with my legit favorite character from the prequels: General Grievous. Now, I'm not talking about the General Grievous that showed up and was instantly chumpatized by Obi-Wan, I'm talking about the silent warrior who terrorized the Jedi in Genndy Tartakovsky's brilliant animated series . You know what's badass? A four armed cyborg assassin who can take out a half dozen Jedi at once. You know what's lame? A four armed cyborg with asthma. Anyway, let's get to it. 1. Gameplan, P

Painting Poorly: A Song of Ice & Fire - House Bolton Flayed Men

Become a Patron! by CMON Games "The Boltons Have Always Been as Cruel as They Were Cunning..." When this game launched, there was a particular unit that I saw make its way into just about EVERY ARMY LIST. And that unit was the Bolton Flayed Men . They hit hard for a TON of damage, move pretty fast, and can really take a beating and keep coming back for more. The Flayed Men are just absolute MONSTERS on the field (though their stock is sure to drop with the addition of new units that deal automatic wounds like the Pyromancers ). Their paint job is actually pretty simple, but they are mounted which means a LOT of strange nooks and crannies to paint the underside of the horse, so while they may not be that DIFFICULT to paint, they can be a little time consuming. I'm going to try to give you the step by step instructions to MINIMIZE the amount of touch ups you'll have to do, but you won't get away without having to do at least a few, so don'

Painting Poorly: Marvel: Crisis Protocol - Hulk, Bruce Banner

Become a Patron! by Atomic Mass Games "Hulk... SMASH!!!" Hey, there, True Believers! So, I am CRAZY excited about the release of Marvel: Crisis Protocol by Atomic Mass Games! This new tabletop miniatures game has players building their best squad of heroes (or villains) in order to battle for victory! So, with the release of the game only slightly in the rear view, we're taking a look at starting a brand new Painting Poorly series for the game! And today, we're starting with the Hulk . The Hulk is one of two character packs releasing with the base game , but he's actually a fairly simple paint job, and we'll get to practice some more advanced techniques on a larger miniature. Before we start, I want to preface any new readers that I don't believe that I'm the best painter in the world. I have more of a " Yan Can Cook " vibe. If I can get these kind of results, so can you. I also try to use as little money as po

Painting Poorly: A Song of Ice and Fire - Night’s Watch Heroes 1

Become a Patron! by CMON Games The Dirty Half Dozen Okay, so today, I’m going to do something you’re either going to really like, or REALLY hate. As some of you know, the main faction that I play is Night’s Watch. I normally play as Jon Snow , but I always love a good Heroes Box to open up the Commander options. So, as I cracked open that sucker and looked at Grenn and Pyp and Alliser Thorne, I realized, they all look pretty similar to each other in regards to their paint jobs. So, I had to make a decision: Do I drag this out over the course of six weeks and give my readers the same tutorial six times, or do I just do it all at once... Take a wild guess at my choice... So buckle in, y’all. Let’s get to it. You might not get as much detail as we normally have with our tutorials, but we’re gonna get a lot done today! 1. Gameplan, Prep, and Prime Okay, so if you’ve read any of my tutorials, you should know by now that I try to base my paint jobs off of the

Painting Poorly: Marvel: Crisis Protocol - Spider-Man, Peter Parker

Become a Patron! by Atomic Mass Games "With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility..." Few characters have had as large of a cultural impact as Spider-Man. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that EVERYONE knows something about him. Try it, I dare you. Find somebody, ANYBODY, whether it's an old lady in a park, or a foreign exchange student from a country you've never heard of. Show them a picture of Spider-Man and I'll bet you that person can tell you AT LEAST that Spidey's real name is Peter Parker and that he was bitten by a radioactive spider. So, while Spider-Man may be in everyone's collective consciousness, the Marvel: Crisis Protocol model of him can be tricky, due to the webbing on his costume. Fear not, True Believers! Mike Meeple's got you covered! 1. Gameplan, Prep, and Prime For Pete's color scheme, we're going VERY traditional. Red and blue suit, white eyes. In order to create
