WH40K — Aeldari Phoenix Lord Baharroth

When I got the classic Baharroth mini, I spent entirely too long trying to get the pewter figure to stick to a flying base.

I did the gradient feathers first, and then tried to render the rest of the mini to a level that matched them.

WH40K – Aeldari Phoenix Lord Maugan Ra

The original was one of the first minis I painted when getting into the hobby. It’s honestly great to see the glow-up.

Heroic Scale, Diorama 4: Boundary Arch

In which Soloist expels the gangster from Little Fuzhou through the border gate. This structure is modelled after paifang (牌坊) arches, which mark the boundaries to numerous Chinatowns in the US.

Graffiti references the Free Hong Kong protests of 2019, including the initials “FHK” on the right sign. The graffiti spanning the bottom level of the archway, “We can’t return to normal, because the normal we had was precisely the problem”, was sprayed in a subway tunnel at the height of those protests.

Gateway is entirely 3D-printed (18 pieces), base is a cigar box with a layer of concrete on top. Acrylic paints.

Heroic Scale, Diorama 3: Declaration of War

A day/night, before/after scene of Soloist defacing an existing mural, driving her own mark through the head of a snake—the gang’s symbol and territory claim to the area.

Heroic Scale, Diorama 2: 3Cs, 3Ds (Cops, Criminals, Collaborators, 3 Doyers)

The corner point of clandestine collusion between cop and criminal, overheard by Soloist.

3D print, Sculpey firm polyclay, acrylic, LED strip, concrete.

Another pair of Soloist minis: one in day-clothes, and the other in her “incognito” outfit worn while tagging.

Working with a Fimo/Sculpey mix now, which is helping me add a greater level of detail (zippers, belts, etc).

Reaper’s Ilnerik Sivanshin miniature, converted and painted as a Drow swashbuckler.

A character/build I’ve been theorycrafting for a while, this guy will represent a Drow Swahbuckler+Hexblade combo.

Weapons are a trimmed down Harlequin Troupe Master’s sword and Drukhari dagger from 40k.

A special job: the Big Bad for a session.

The lower body comes from Reaper’s Scorpion Man miniature. However, the torso that originally came with the model wasn’t what the commissioner had in mind.

The good news is that Hero Forge now allows you to download the file for your custom-made hero for $10, which allows you to 3D print them at home if you have the hardware for it.

I had to scale him up to match the scorpion half, on top of cutting his legs off in Maya to save on filament, but with a little green stuff I was able to put these two together.

The Soloist character miniature, painted and temporarily based.

It’s kind of funny. It took me three weeks or so to sculpt her from scratch. Once that was done, the paint job took me about ninety minutes.

My first ever sculpted mini (and I realize I should have taken photos before I primed it) - this one is based on the Soloist character from a comic I wrote during my study abroad.

This character will feature in another project, so you can look forward to seeing this mini painted within a couple of weeks.
