    Yes. A friend gave them to me. But I've seen them online before. I think you can do a Google search for them.

    From the same friend that gave me the silos. Here's a 3d printed armory I've recently painted and got some decal graffiti on.

    And now my first figures for 2026!

    We have the mission Evacuation coming up for our group this weekend so this was the perfect excuse to finally to HVTs. They need to make some actual Civilian tokens or something because not everyone just happens to have 4 or more HVT figures!

    Another civilian done for the weekend game. My friend gave idea to do Vault Dweller and it worked out great!

    Even though we are done for now with HVT/Civilians, I’m going to finish Agnes. She’s no longer in my O-12, but she’ll make a good HVT model. I can keep the pistol because some HVT get stun pistols at times.

    Here's my beastly Beasthunter for Yu Jing. Something I've been wanting to do for a long time! Finally got around to doing it.

    The Monkey King is certainly on point for You Jing! Great idea, I hadn't thought of that.

    Ever since Castro was created, I was offended! The monkey king should be in Yu Jing! Then the Beasthnders were made. I figure you need a beast to kill a beast!

    I know you keep improving your painting skills every time I see new pics from you, but it seems like a major step you reach here.
    Is it you or the Warcrow minis that simply are better painting material ?

    I think a bit of both. Fantasy figures have a bit more natural detail and I don't need to work as hard to highlight. Speed paints have changed made a big difference for me too. I've learned how to do some better prep-work for it. For all my syennan I used a dark tan primer so a lot of color is already done (see the underside of the scouts cape), then zenithal with a bone/cream color. then I do a pre-shade of dark brown wash with a bit of flow improver. I'm thinking of trying a watered down speed paint next just to see if it's better than wash. This helps to make the low parts even darker. Due to the prep-work I do ahead of time, I can get one figure done in a night.

    I think it helps too that I meet up with a group of painters every Friday at the game store to paint. We have a thing called Paint 'n Hang. About 8+ people are there sharing tips and tricks. Unfortunately this is the only day I can paint. But one figure a week is better than nothing lol.

    I agree, it could take time but everyone needs to find its own way/method. Not the one that others use, but the one that suits.

    Real life painting support group is a great thing too. And yes, one regular day per week is always better than several maybe days that never happen.

    I haven't had good results mixing water with speed paint. I find they work better with a medium rather than water.

    I've tried with both contrast paint and Speed paint (tm). :D

    Edit: I find water makes them too thin. Works well as a glaze but not too well if you want them to work as intended. If you just want you thin down the color intensity but have them work like contrast/speed paint then medium is the way to go.
