[Song of Fork and Heroes]¶
Mythical Agyptian Mummies¶

I wanted to come much farther today, applying at least the base colours, but the beginnings of a flu requested me to spend too much time sleeping...

Planta¶

I did not use any metallic colours and tried to give them a more organic feel. The drives of all the other races were done in blue, for the Planta I used

70.957 Flat Red
70.911 Light Orange

something which in my mind looks more like natural fire than artificial drives.

Everthing I would have painted as glass on other ships I painted as an eye. In hindsight, the pupil should have been much brighter...

To add further to the organic look, I painted some of the potrusions like horn:

70.941 Burnt Umber
70.977 Desert Yellow
70.847 Iraqi Sand

Paint Station¶

After the first few days, I heard an ominous creaking sometimes when I moved the fully loaded station - which made me doubt the power of the glue...

So I decided to add some nails to strenghten the integrity of the station. To prevent the MDF from splintering when hammering in the nails, I first drilled holes with a slighlty smaller diameter than the nail.

Now there are no more ominous sounds no more :-)

Mythical Agyptian Priests¶

Some more mystical elements - well, these are historical figures basically, but to my best knowledge the historical priests were not able to summon demons and awake mummies.

It is one priest and one acolythe, the acolythe will get a pole with the symbol of Nekhebet. The pole supplied had a nice symbol, but not very nekhebetic.

As usual, they are mounted on bases from Products for Wargamers.

Mythical Agyptian Demons¶

Some more mystical elements. These are demons that will be summoned by the priest during a game. They are from Crocodiles Games' Wargods of Ægyptus Nekharu range. As usual, they are mounted on bases from Products for Wargamers.

The figures are nice, but the amount flash is a bit excessive, and sometimes hard to get at. One figure had a big lump of metal between knee and skirt, so the molds seem to have seen better times as well...

Paint Station¶

The paint station I am currently using I build myself some time ago. It includes a build in wet palette, two cup holders (one for non-metallic, one for metallic) and is A4 size.

It served me well so far, but when moving it around, the paints and brushes always were seperate.

This I wanted to change.

After some Googleing I got myself a new paint station from HobbyZone, which arrived today and was quickly assembled.

I made two slight modifications to it, one was to glue felt pads underneath, the other was to drill two small holes which hold paper clips (which I use to un-clog dropper bottles) which fell through all the stock holes.
