After doing more research than was probably necessary I decided to use the Enforcers<\/a> from Mantic Entertainment’s\u00a0Deadzone wargame<\/a> as miniatures for playable androids in my upcoming Science Fantasy\u00a0game.\u00a0 Deadzone uses 30mm Heroic scale miniatures, which are larger than Reaper’s 25mm Heroic scale but not so much that it’s a dealbreaker…especially for android or alien races.<\/p>\n

This was the first miniature\u00a0that I assembled, posed, and customized. I did jump the gun and prime it with Gesso before learning that Deadzone miniatures can be painted on directly. Fortunately it did not turn out like poor Ridley Darkedge<\/a>. The Gesso did obscure some minor detailing but, overall, I was very pleased with\u00a0how it performed here.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My first additive customization was a pistol in a holster adhered\u00a0to the miniature’s back. This is where I really appreciated the tight coating of Gesso which seemed to bind\u00a0the various\u00a0super-glued pieces together all the more securely. I did attempt a warm wash on this\u00a0miniature prior to applying the varnish but it only seemed to make the miniature look dirty…which isn’t necessarily a negative.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, one of the reasons that I went with Mantic Entertainment<\/a> is that they have a good balance of\u00a0affordability and quality as compared to most other miniature games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
