6MMRPC Update: Sixth Hit WIP

I didn't make a ton of progress on my actual 6MMRPC Hit List targets this week, though I did complete a couple of Bones figures so I haven't been idle.  I did manage to get the Doctrine Novitiates based, along with some of the other Relic Knights figures I had assembled.

Noh Kyojin Berserkers (2), Noh Render, Doctrine Novitiates (3), Darkspace Candy & Cola


While my actual Sixth Hit is just the three Doctrine Novitiates, I figured I could get all of the figures mounted and ready to paint while I was at it.  I did not pin the figures to the bases, but I've used an adhesive called E6000 which dries with a slightly rubbery texture and has some "give" to it.  So far it seems to be doing an excellent job of holding the figures even with minimal surface area (such as Darkspace Candy and Cola).  Hopefully it'll continue to work as well once the figures are being used in tabletop games.

While I was at it, I also ran across a pack of Boost Markers I had assembled.


Boost Markers serve as markers for various Boosts in Relic Knights, which represent a variety of gear that forces can bring with them.  The models are nice and could be used in a variety of games as objectives or scatter terrain, so I'll probably paint them up between projects.

Reaper Bones: Silver Dragon

After finishing Deathsleet, I had the urge to tackle another dragon.  However, since I haven't figured out a base for Ebonwrath just yet, I looked to Bones II's Expansion Set #1:  77329 Silver Dragon.

6MMRPC Update: Fifth Hit WIP

Work proceeds apace on my 6MMRPC Hit List.  For my fifth target, I decided on 7710 Deathsleet simply because I have a base that he'll fit on!


I used some Green Stuff to add additional texture between his legs and help unify the model with the base.  Once that cured, I was able to get a basecoat applied.  Working with white can be tricky, so I chose a light-medium gray as a foundation to work on, and then lighten/darken as I go.


While looking at the figure and the base, I realized there was a decent amount of "dead space" that might be a good opportunity to add a bit of terrain or other feature.  While digging around, I came across something that looked right:


The Wall of Ice from the Bones II Water Elementals set was an ideal height, and gives some context on why Deathsleet might be rearing up the way he is - perhaps trying to swat at an adventurer running for cover behind the wall of ice!

I've finished the Wall of Ice and detailed it in a separate post, but I wanted to provide a snapshot of my progress on my actual 6MMRPC target.  So far it's been a fun figure to paint, and I look forward to seeing how it turns out.

Reaper Bones: Wall of Ice

While working on Deathsleet today (the fifth target on my 6MMRPC Hit List), I decided his base could make use of a part of the Water Elementals set from Bones II:  77312 Wall of Ice.

Reaper Bones: Autumn Bronzeleaf

With the imminent launch of the Bones III Kickstarter, I'm feeling additional pressure to complete Bones I.  So today I completed another figure from the Bones I Elves set:  77069 Autumn Bronzeleaf.
