A tale about furries and tentacles.

A year has come and gone and Interplanetario is among us again. For that reason Rodro asked me to spruce up his last Aristeia! acquisitions as he is planning to run some of them on his team comp for the great event. So, with no more delay here are the Masters of Puppets: Gaia and Fiddler. Gaia is accompanied by 3 Gorgoneios made by Customeeple to support the character. From what I was told this were a pain to assemble but once painted they look pretty nice. My personal challenge for Gaia was to try if I could make her look younger than Gira…

Toxic relationships

That time of the year has come again for a new Aristeia! release, and as always, my friend Rodro has dropped his new toys on my desk for a coat of paint. Not before we treated ourselves to some games with the new ziggurat scenarios (by the way, they are really cool. Try them if you haven't done it already!). This time we only get two miniatures, Bachman and Hammerhead. Both the sculpts are pretty cool but I must say the rubble on Hammerhead is really annoying as it obscures a great deal of the miniature for painting. Rodro wanted to go with …

End of season reinforcements

So, it's come that time of the year again where a new Aristeia expansion is launched and I have to rush my pencils to get it ready for my friend Rodro. This time he wanted to stick to official colors for the team. I took a few liberties here and there but mostly they are painted based on the original studio scheme. Koorie Queen  I really enjoyed painting Koorie. As the CB staff said, her body shape is very different to the usual "tall supermodel" shape of most miniature girls, and this was a breath of fresh air. I hope we get …

Come at me bro!

So, after so many Aristeia comissions I got myself really lazy about painting my own aristos so I told myself I wouldn't buy any more expansion until all my current aristos are painted. So I started working again on the Kozmo conversion I was planning (I found myself playing Kozmo all the time, anyone else thinks we need more tanks in Aristeia?). The idea was to move Kozmo to a more defensive position. Instead of looking like she was recklessly charging with her boosters I planned to make her arms crossed in her front like she was protecting …

Sporting alternate colors

I got a new request from Bahadur Rodro to paint his aristeia core box plastics as his current set up makes it difficult to transport the metal counterparts from the limited edition.   He wanted this set to be different from his base set that is painted in studio colors so his instructions for the job were: Purple Hexxer. Gata as "The Flash" Orange Parvati (The core one is green, and Aristeia teams are usually Green vs Orange) Polar bear 8-ball Black Maximus So let's see how it turned out. Hexxer's plinth was re…

Fate of the Bahadur

You might remember from  my last Aristeia! post  that I was painting miniatures for a friend of mine that was going to play Aristeia! in the Interplanetario tournament in Vigo this year. Well, I am very proud to say that my friend and usual Aristeia! sparring partner Rodro won the Aristeia! tournament and I guess that makes him the first Bahadur! He came back with a request for me to paint his newly acquired Human Fate so I had to fit some time in between painting my Tunguska force to paint his new aristos. And this is the result. Prysm …
