#heavygearblitz — Public Fediverse posts

I finished some desert camo mechs for Heavy Gear last week. Process was slow, as I layered on 4 colors of individually shaped blobs for the pattern. One of those schemes that's 90% drudge work up front, and then the wash and detail work flies by. This one in particular I think came out best. Some of the others in the batch came out a little frosty from the final varnish.

I won a painting competition! Dream Pod 9's 'Gold Gear 2024' for the Heavy Gear Blitz wargame and RPG. Still a little shocked, but also flattered. I really was proud of how this one turned out. The best I've ever placed in any painting competition before was an honorable mention, so this really made my day.

An Iguana gear (light mech) for #HeavyGearBlitz. I totally forgot to write down the camo recipe I used on my other stealth gears, so just winged it. It came out more intense and I'm not quite as happy with it, but it'll work.
From this angle and with the macro lens, you can see the hole I accidentally drilled through the gun when pinning it, but which I literally can't see any other time.

Trying something wildly different than my usual style here. I wanted a retro space opera-y look, bright and alien, avoiding my usual mundane drab and grimy palette. It's really matte which is throwing off photos but I think it works. Base scale is off a smidge, but eh, works. #heavygear #heavygearblitz #miniaturepainting #miniatures #miniaturewargaming #minipainting #warmongers

Completed a weekend project to design base labels for a few different sets of models. The sides of hexes was easy. The sloped rounds gave me conniptions. Font selection; Industria LT solid for Heavy Gear because that's the classic header font in the books, and Michroma for spaceships because nothing says spaceship like Microgramma-alikes.

First third of a set of buildings done. These are 3D printed designs from The Lazy Forger's 'Shanty Town Set 1' on a Mars 3 at 180% scale for use with 10-12mm wargames, principally Heavy Gear Blitz and Dropzone Commander. Primed white, Craft store paint block colored, then thinned Army Painter Light Tone wash over everything and drybrushed in a craft store biege to bring the colors into a similar palette.
