Flocked Bases and Timber Peak Heroes

[jeffd1830]

Achtung Panzer, that's a great idea. I'll practice on some scrap material first and see what I can do with it.

Here's my update after another day of painting.

I took a couple photos of my full set of heroes. (See Below) The six Timber Peak heroes in the front row are the ones I did this past week. (Today I finished Nikki the Bush Pilot, Jake Cartwright Woodinvale Survivor, and Ed Baker the Lumberjack.)

My goal with this set of Heroes is to try to make them as close to the photographic artwork in the game as possible in terms of color choice, staying bright and bold without being tacky (my zombies are darker and involve more washes, as you can see earlier in this thread.)

I keep the faces very simple so they don't end up looking too big-headed or rough faced... I've found a lot of the faces on other people's miniatures I've seen online to be distracting because of exaggerated features. For my figures, men usually have only a simple brown wash on the face, just to fill in the eyes and lips and reveal a little detail. Women usually have black or brown delicately filled eyes (often just lines or dots), with a dab of pink or red for lipstick. I do a wash over certain clothing items if it makes sense (seldom light colored items), and a little bit of dry brushing here or there (such as chainsaw blades and chains, and highlights on jeans.)
