(Star) Saga of a Deadzone
Make things playable
While I’m probably going to get more use out of these minis in Deadzone, I do still want them to be playable in the Star Saga boardgame. Most of the minis come on 25mm bases which is what Deadzone uses, so cool.
The big Chovar squid thing needed a 40mm base which I could just glue on without changing anything as the model is meant to be occupying 4 spaces on the board anyway.
The Plague Aberration, however, needs a 60mm base. That would interfere with things in Star Saga so I decided to magnetise it. The Aberration has big meaty fists so I drilled into them and popped in some magnets.
This miniature was originally a Deadzone miniature, you might notice that the quality of the material and casting is slightly better than many of the others. I painted a full Star Saga pledge last year (I have a project logging it all) with my brother and he painted this model. He isn’t the world’s greatest painter, he would say as much, and he painted the whole model using washes and contrast paints and the end result is really good. It really holds the details well making it very receptive to washes
