Traders Galaxy Painting Challenge 2024 - Day 1

February 6, 2024

I thought I was being clever by choosing a couple of squads of Ninja. This would give me a banker of 11 figures, thus meeting the minimum requirements and being mainly black, the paint scheme should not be too difficult. But normally I like individuals who I can think about and craft a story, with the ninja at best your ninja Fred or ninja Jerry, so after painting ninja number 7 (let’s call him Bert), I found my interest waning. For those who remember the Fast Show and the painter character, I was quickly seeing black everywhere.

Rise of the Democracy Ninjas

So i changed it up a little and started on Overlord Gorg, who is more of an individual. I’ve got a great idea for him (if it works), along the theme of alien invaders.

I also painted a few tiny missiles which I had sitting around in a drawer as I’m going to arm my Strikeforce plane when I get to that miniature.

Finally I got some primer on a thug from Beat Em Up who I have converted with The Adventurer’s gun arm and then I cut off his head. I then stuck some red resin blood splatter that I made by mixing resin and curing while pulling it with a cocktail stick. Beat Em Up is about to get gory! He is going to be part of the scene for one of the main character’s bases.
