just a few close ups of the Blue Moon Manufacturing Vleta Reavers from their new Galactic War range of 15mm scifi minis.

Vleta Reavers squad

Hello, just a few updated pics of my
squad of Vleta Reavers moving thru some rubble. These are my favorite figures from Blue Moon's new galactic war range, and were extremely easy and enjoyable to paint. Will post a few more pics in next post.

color test Vleta Reaver

just a quick color test for Vleta Reavers from Blue Moon, only 99 to go. wow, cant say enuff good stuff about these minis. Overall some of the choices in this range are too pulpy for me , but the Vleta Reavers are a big win. 10 unique poses per pack They feel like a cross between GW termagaunts, and a cyclops from an old Sinbad movie. Going with a light brown-too much green lately

15mm Llurgh swamp battlewagonAPC

Hello, just a fewpics of my new APC for my Khurasan Llurgh battlegroup. Hope to have 4 of these made soon. Very reminiscient of Ork battlewagons. armored sides and front; underslung support weapon? anti infantry or anti tank; drivers compartment; and my favorite- rear offloading ramps. It has a hurried metal drybrush, but I will make the tracks brown or black or rust.
made from an Indiana Jones rocket sled, 2 robogear tracks and several platformer pieces, knocked together in about 30 minutes

Llurgh recipe

my finished Llurgh. now for my secret paint recipe(lest I forget- and I do, quite often)
almost all paints used are cheap craft paints-Decoart, americana acrylic.
1. black gesso
2. drybrush entire mini(avoid guns) with celery green
3.hair-black green
4.rope-khaki tan-also cigar
5. scabbard/armband- honey brown
6.hooves-delta ceramcoat-dark olive
7.leaves on armband-deep periwinkle
8. gun/blade-reaper pro paint-steel plate
9. teeth/bone jewlery-dove grey
10. fire on cigar cadmium orange
11.eyes-true ochre
next is a sloppy wash of future black(actually a strange mixture of black drawing ink, future,water,acrylic flow aid, and reaper brush on primer- a real kitchen sink experiment)
after the wash go back and apply hilites where needed,almost drybrushing with original color
I know - alot of redundant steps and it usually changes from month to month----main reason I am writing this all down
---these guys would make good not-kroot for 40k in 15mm, but that is a dark place to which I shall never return.
just got 4 indiana jones rocket sleds to convert into primitive APC/hanomags
