For an added touch, I'd suggest some static grass and some small gravel. Maybe some sand too. Ya can prolly get 'em at your local artsy-fartsy stores or, failing that, get gouged at the local Games Workshop, which is where I go to lose money on small vats of paint :P

...of course, I forget to actually COMMENT on the tigah. Looks good! ^_^

Ah, nah-- these are miniatures that I'll be using in game play. I dunno if you can see it, but there's a little circle hole in the base- it's for the game's 'u-base' which allows you to see the character's life (it shows through the hole and you adjust it when he loses life).

I will likely not bother to do base modifications other than painting what they're attached to (if necessary) for that reason. Even venturing to play with them in game is risky because they're just plastic- not very sturdy.

True 'nuff... I never really got past 40K miniatures myself. But if anything, you could just screw with the patch of ground that's directly under the tigah.

I prefer not to only because that gets handled a lot.

I might do that on minis I don't plan to play with (I am sure I will have favorites that I don't want to risk), but for now, they're utilitarianized ;)

These ones are larger than, say, warhammer miniatures (at least most of them are) but the bummer is they're plastic and sometimes not the strongest (for example one of the succubus figures is on one tiny spindly leg and when youopen her up she's often severely skewed to one side or the other because the plastic's bent) so painting these, if you don't want to lose texture, is a one-shot deal. x_x

Buh.

They're relatively cheap for the commons (starcitywow.com yay!) so if I do mess up bad I won't be hurting too badly but still. x_x; I'd like to get more practice in so I can tackle people (the hardest!).

*nods* Sounds like the same way D&D minis are. All rubbery and warp-y?

That came out quite lovely, my friend- I can only really say there's two places for improvement... glosse is GREAT for durability, but it makes minis look absolutely horrible unless they're supposed to be shiny/covered in glass/crystal/ice. To 'fix' this, add one more layer of sealer to your mini- but use matte instead of gloss. The other, as I'm sure someone else has said by now, is flocking/static grass/cork for ground effects. you obviously have the hand control to make those stripes look lovely. :)

Very cool, I like the way it turned out! I have been considering trying out the minis game. Gamestop had a sale on the minis from the first set a while ago and we sold out at my store >< Let me know what you think about the game :D

Oh I like it, for sure. It's fun, in my opinion. :3

cool! I may have to track some down then XD
