A short post, so far I’ve been using pretty much the exact same color scheme for all my new infinity terrain. While perhaps a bit dull, it does really pull everything together quite nicely. The only major thing I’m considering is add a few vertical (red?) bands on the higher buildings. Also apparently Micro Art… Continue reading Painting – Uniform color schemes

Painting – Quick Tip for Priming Miniatures
Like many other miniature wargamers, priming follows the same procedure. Find a relatively large box, put miniatures in box. Spray paint from 1 direction, wait, turn miniatures around, spray paint, wait, turn etc etc. Last night I recalled a tip from a white dwarf from ages ago. They were using a ‘primer stick’. Basically a stick… Continue reading Painting – Quick Tip for Priming Miniatures
Zombicide – Survivors, getting started
Of course the poor survivors need some paint as well. I have decided to go for the 1 mini, 1 evening approach, which gives me about 2 hours per mini. Start with a very clean basecoat of colors that exactly follow the image on the zombicide site. Add a very very thin brown wash at… Continue reading Zombicide – Survivors, getting started
Zombicide – The Horde Is Complete
Within a month of them invading my home, the little critters have been painted. Quite an impressive horde if I say so myself. I could still spend some time adding some zombie-gore, but let’s first get started on the survivors. They look a bit lame without paint.

The infinity universe looked pretty neat, especially because the parent company (Corvus Belli) has made agreements with various other vendors that allow them to create matching scenery. This provides a much richer ecosystem in… Continue reading Painting – Slowly Building A City
Painting – The joys of light
After years of only painting on Sunday afternoons (because that’s the only time the sun shines, I’m not at work and don’t have to shop for groceries), I decided to get myself a daylight lamp. Boy, what a joy it is. Being mildly color-blind, I can usually hardly distinguish brown from green in the evenings,… Continue reading Painting – The joys of light
Zombicide – Painting the little monsters
For my birthday last month my friends got me a copy of zombicide: prison break. I missed the kickstarter, so quite happy with it. So far I’ve played 3 games, all wins, yay survivors. This is also an excellent opportunity to relive my speed-painting-glory-days, no one likes neatly painted zombies. The scheme I came up… Continue reading Zombicide – Painting the little monsters
