Primed and painted hound of Tindalos

Painting the Hounds of Tindalos

This week returns to one of the odder monsters in the Mansions of Madness: the Hounds of Tindalos. The hounds were added into the Cthulu mythos by Frank Belknap Long and have never had an ‘official’ description or look. The closest I could find was that they have blue ichor. Fantasy Flight Games (the maker of MoM) decided to go with a serpentine look and mishappen arms. No one has awarded them with the greatest sculpts, but I made the most of it and went with lava or inner fire for the bodies and almost neon blue for the mouth and eyes. Painting the Hounds of Tindalos A quick note: don’t have time to read this now or want to save it for later? I created a downloadable PDF that I can email you for later. Fill in the subscribe box at the bottom and give it a look. Why lava skin? Well, in short because I haven’t had a chance to do so to this point, and I thought the articulated plates would lend themselves well …

Jenny Barnes Painting Guild

Jenny Barnes PDF Tutorial

Hey guys, in case you missed it earlier this week, I put together a downloadable painting guide for Jenny Barnes as a PDF. It provides the step-by-step tutorial on how I painted her but also adds the paint recipes used. Even if you don’t like the miniature itself, could you do me a favor and check out the downloadable tutorial? I am looking at making more of these for future tutorials and would love to get your feedback on style, size, and picture types. Why PDF Tutorials and not just blog posts? In part, it’s all Adam’s fault with his Golden D6 magazine. He was able to take one of my blog post tutorials and add even more to it by removing the limitations of the web page (or at least my abilities with web development). You can check out my review on issue three here This is all part of an experiment I’m running with Broken Paintbrush this year on providing more tutorials and other ways to help hobbyist improve their skills. If you …

Jenny Barnes – Painting Tutorial

Jenny Barnes is one of the heroine investigators from Mansions of Madness board game. A pistol-toting flapper that hunts cultists and zombies in high heels and a tight dress. Rather than have her run around as gray plastic, I painted Jenny in her iconic blue outfit and gave her a fairly pale skin. Below I put together a tutorial on how to paint her. Don’t have time to read it all or want a nice, printable version? I also put together a PDF version, just jump to the bottom and fill in your email. From Beginner to Happy, Painting Jenny Barnes Preparation The models from Fantasy Flight Games are in relatively good condition for painting except for some mold lines (see the brim of her hat below). I used a hobby knife to scrape most of the lines off but as you can see I missed a few. Step 1: Primer After priming with White Primer, she was ready to paint. The remaining mold lines (like her hat) were scrapped off as I painted and noticed them. …

Tutorial on how to paint zombies from Mansion of Madness

How to Paint Zombies Tutorial – Mansion of Madness

This how to paint zombies tutorial start with a Christmas visit where my brother-in-law brought over Mansions of Madness, a Cthulhu-based game from Fantasy Flight Games. I enjoyed the game so much I convinced my wife to get it for my birthday. This led me into deciding to paint the miniatures. As I do, I figured I would provide tutorials along the way, not just how to paint the MoM minis, but hopefully keep them broad enough for other ranges as well. I started off with the Zombies as I also received the Vallejo Skin Set and wanted to try them out. With that said, nearly every step uses paints from the set. If you want to save this tutorial for later reference, I created a downloadable PDF version that includes a bit more information on the paints used. If you want to get the PDF, fill in the form at the bottom of the post and I’ll email you a link. How to Paint Zombies – Mansion of Madness Tutorial Step 0: Prime The first step …
