Calling Black Squad

Phew, it's been a while since I posted here at the Keep, sorry about that, I'm going to try and post more often and share what I'm working on. This week I've been finishing off the models from Zombicide Invader: Black Ops. The expansion ships with a new Abomination, Sentry Gun and Bot, along with six new survivors who make up Black Squad. Let's take a look at the bot and the gun first. The meteor sentry gun was a fun paint. There are some lines that could be neater but overal

Painting Zombicide Invader - Xeno Hunters

This week we're going to be taking a look at how I speed painted my Hunters for #CoolMiniOrNot's #ZombicideInvader. The Hunters are fast, activating twice at the end of each round and easily underestimated in large groups especially as they fall last in the targeting priority. Recipe I used the following paints and materials. Citadel Grey Seer Spray Citadel Contrast Apothecary White Citadel Contrast Flesh Tearers Red Citadel Contrast Space Wolves Grey Citadel Contrast Volupus

Painting Zombicide Invader - Xeno Workers

Hey guys, this week I thought I'd give you a quick breakdown of how I painted the Xeno Wokers for Zombicide Invader. With so many minis in the box I needed to find a quick way of giving them a great presence on the table without spending forever painting. In the end I got the technique down to just 20 minutes per miniature. Recipe I used the following paints and materials. Citadel Grey Seer Spray Citadel Contrast Gryph-charger Grey Citadel Contrast Plaguebearer Flesh Citadel

The Invasion Has Begun!

As I write to you I am buried beneath a mound of plastic largely composed of Xenos from Cool Mini or Not's latest Zombicide adventure, Invader. With the all in pledge clocking up at over 300 miniatures I need to put my skates on and change up my game in order to ever finish this. I've already begun bargaining with myself, promising I can take a breather once the core set is done but I'm pretty sure I'm going to get distracted long before I clear this backlog. Regardless, let'

Painting Stuffed Fables: Crepitus

Welcome back to the final Painting Stuffed Fables article. Sorry it's taken me so long to get around to finishing this series, but we finally arrive at the evil Crepitus. Throughout this paint job I do a lot of wet blending, which is a technique of placing down layers of paint, usually starting quiet dark and working up to a lighter highlight without allowing the previous coat to dry. By its nature you have to work quickly which makes it tricky to photograph. I've used this t

The Fast and The Furious

This week I'd like to share with you a few photos of my modern city terrain, specifically the resin vehicles from Antenocitis Workshop which I put the finishing touches on this week. I know a lot of people use toy cars for modern scenery, but for me there is something about painted resin that fits better in the world because of the way it blends in with everything else. They also have a nice solid weight to them and they are perfectly scaled for use with 28mm-32mm minis. Here

Painting Descent 2.0

Hey y'all, The Duke here. As some of you who are following the Facebook page will know I recently started painting my Descent 2nd Edition minis. Initially when I bought the game I only painted the Merriods, which were the one mini I didn't have a proxy for already in my collection. Last year I painted a handful of the heroes (3 to be precise) to use with Road to Legend when the app came out, but that was largely it. So for the most part the game has sat unpainted since 2012 a
