Merry Christmas! Welcome back to Tabletop Thoughts. Today we will look at some of the miniatures I got in process this holiday week.

First is the frost giant from the latest release from The Printing Goes Ever On. It has been primed with a flat black and highlighted with an airbrush. I actually sat with my airbrush for over an hour highlighting miniatures yesterday. I finally feel like I am getting good enough to get nice highlights for my painting.

I have four of these spiders done. They should be easy to finish since they really need only a color or two from a speed paint then they are complete.

Four elementals are ready for painting. I primed the fire elemental white since it is made of fire and doesn’t have shadows on it. I will paint it yellow then orange then red to get a good fire effect. The others will take some standard colors (Grays and blues)

Here are some more miniatures I am making for my Neon Skies game when I start it up. These are from the Ghost City set from EC3D Designs. I have quite a few of models from this collection that I need to get painted so I am ready when my book arrives. I still need to paint up the hacking tower and build up a vehicle chase set along with getting some SciFi cars/motorcycles ready.

More miniatures from The Printing Goes Ever On. The bottom pictures are of two gnomes and a cursed child. I really like the models but some of the weapons and arms are very thins and can easily break.

Some monsters from The Printing Goes Ever On. I tried to make sure that the fire snake’s head was completely painted white so I could do the same fire effect from the fire elemental on it. I am not sure on the color scheme for the rest of the snake yet. The aboleth will be a bluish color and the displacer beast will be a blue/black color.

Now that the printing, priming, and highlighting steps are complete, I can focus on getting some paint onto these models so they are ready for the tabletop.

Keep on gaming!
