Mice & Mystic painting the rats

After doing all the very individual hero mice the rats were quite different being basically all identical. I followed an approach I'd seen others use in doing half as black rats to use as elite rats in some missions and the rest as brown rats for the mooks.

Like the mice I sprayed some brown over the black prime and the others were sprayed grey to get some quick zenithal highlighting. Then since the fur was much more pronounced than the mice I could easily drybrush the fur.

I then painted the hands, feet, ears, lips and tail in skin tone before using GW red was to shade. Then highlighted with flesh again. Then painted the eyes, teeth and all the armour and belts black before painted them up and shading them with army painter strong tone.

I'm not one to so much in the way of troop painting techniques but I was very happy with these quick results.

Painting Mice & Mystics the Heroes

Continuing on from the nasty bugs I worked on the hero mice of the game. These were fun to do and I did a couple heroes a day as I plowed through them. I either sprayed zenithal Tamiya brown or grey over the black to get started. Was a lot of painting hair strokes all over the mice, I didn't actually drybrush them.

Bit of seeing how they look on the tiles then back to the mage and cleric

Woo all done, these were really easy to paint up being such nice characters, I wish the mage was more colourful but I was matching the character card from the game. 

Next the rats.

Painting Mice & Mystics

Been meaning to paint this game since I 1st saw it, such nice minis of the mice adventurers.

1st thing I did was make a new base for the spider since it's base was badly curled. I tried the hot water fix a couple times but it wouldn't stay flat. About time I tried this circle cutter, then etched some cobblestones.

Everything primed black. Decided to try airbrushing the initial base colours on these.

The yucky roaches were sprayed up to a highlight brown then darkened on the front with Tamiya smoke which also made them shiny.

Then painted base around them.

Yuck

After airbrushing the colours up to highlights I painted in edges and lots of hairs on the spiders back then finished off with the creepy green eyes.

Wonderfully creepy centipede mostly airbrushed highlight the  shaded with smoke  for shade and glossiness then hand painted red legs and pincers then finish off the eyes. Did all of these in one day.
