General WIP Update-Incoming 2

Incoming Round 2-So I didn't want to brag too much with a long post on acquisitions so I broke it up.  Maybe that is worse?  Oh well on with it then.  I have unfortunately been bitten by the damn Kickstarter bug far too many times lately but it is hard to resist with all the great work by people like Tim with Diehard Miniatures or Diego with Knightmare Games or in this case Mantic Games with their Hellboy board game.

It was too good to pass up especially since I'm always looking for Hellboy miniatures for WWW2 scenarios or just to have Hellboy miniatures!

Oh so many miniatures! I'll have to break out a few of the henchmen and have my hand at painting them.  I'm not sure how they will take paint as they seem to be a hard polystyrene.  Not sure if they will need a primer or if I can just slap paint on directly. I just got the announcement from Mantic yesterday and the second wave of this Kickstarter is due in a few months with a shit ton more miniatures!  At my painting rate I should get them painted up by, oh say 2025 maybe 2026.

General WIP Update-Incoming

Haven't posted much in a while so a quick update with a few more to follow.  Some news to report on the Acquisition/Collecting front!  I recently picked one more of the fabled C23 Ogres by the incredible Jes Goodwin!  I really struggle when someone asks me who my favorite sculptor is.  On one hand it has to be Kevin "Goblinmaster" Adams who's work influenced me to get into Citadel and Warhammer.  On the other hand it has to be Jes Goodwin, producer of some of my favorite Realm of Chaos miniatures as well as these C23 Ogres which are the standard that all others are compared to!

I picked up the executioner model #14.  This fellow gets me to 11 of the 16 from the above catalogue page.

Despite my rather snail pace I did get some basic paint on him and number 12 who I picked up a month or two ago.

I also received my latest Game Envy Hobby Holder Kickstarter order.  An extra large stability bar and the ergo grip holder.  I really liked the first version and was excited for the extra large version to  use on the guys above.

As you can see from the pic below it gives you more clearance for the larger models.

I also like the Ergo Grip (large red on the bottom) which has come in handy.  Not sure if I like the rig better with our without it but it is different, and very easy to switch out mins.

More updates to come.
