The Upyr are vampire "Daywalkers" that are among the most dangerous of the vampire "trash mobs". While immune to sunlight effects and being, relatively, sturdy fighters they are not dangerous by themselves and can be dispatched by Pete and the Extractor just as any other vampire type. Their main advantage is ignoring sunlight rooms in the lair and slowing down the Hunters especially when they arrive as a random spawn.These were painted in the same way as the warriors but have a few extra layers of Sunny Flesh dry-brush and paler red wings.
Unfortunately they are uni-pose and since they will be stored in their formed plastic game tray I didn't want to do any physical modification. Keeping in mind also that they are board game pieces I kept their paint schemes uniform for easy identification during play.
The Burrowers were also painted similarly to the warriors with the but for the omission of the red wings.
Like the Upyr these are cast in a single pose.
Moving into the 3D printed stuff there is a wheeled ARV (Armored Recovery Vehicle) that will join my Jailbirds Faction. As motorized nomads and scavengers I think the ARV will be an important addition to their motley collection... so I may print up one or two more... can't leave loot on the battlefield!
This is another wheeled APC that the Jailbirds will press into service. Its more boxy than their other vehicles and I can imagine that it was "liberated" from one of their many adversaries.
One of the benefits of these PLA prints is that they are easy to magnetize. Since they are not a solid block of resin, or a hollow hard plastic cast, you can easily punch a magnet sized hole in the skin and the magnet will still be supported by the interior lattice structure.
The crane of the ARV and the turret of the APC are magnetized.
I need to come up with names for these vehicles both as general type and as individuals. Suggestions welcome!
Finally some progress in the Kingdom Death inspired columns to replace the 2D cardboard terrain in the Kingdom Death Monster game.I've been working on some marble-like effects and still want to narrow and define the black veining a bit before washing them and doing some final highlights.
Back to the desk!
