'Reconnaissance' from AdamC: Invisible Adventuring Party


Welcome to my more or less blatant point grab for 50 points.  A crew of 5 invisible adventures, this would be a typical game scenario back in the day. King such and such is worried about a "situation" you guys go check it out.  So the Party would memorize spells or grab potions of Invisibility and off we would got to do some recon on said situation.



The figures are form Bones III and are done in clear resin.  I didn't really like this look so I tried to you a blue ink wash to give them some definition (and so I could say I had "painted" them)



IN some cases it work out nicely like the wizard here who has exactly the sort of look I wanted.

You can see the details fo the figure but it still looks mostly clear.



Other just look... messy I've tried cleaning and redoing these but got the same results (more or less). Any way I present them to you.  At lese the Wizard figure looks nice. I'll take what ever points Curt wants to give for the figures (I would give myself 1 or 0 for the lot) and just take my 50 Bonus points.  Suggestions on how to fix these guys are welcome.

  1. I was looking at Citadel technical paints at the store the other day. There was a clear/glass bluing substance that might be exactly whar you need yo hilight these guys.

  2. Great idea. These will be useful in many fantasy games.

  3. Terrific invisible stand-ins for the tabletop, Adam, excellent work with the inks to give them that 'wooooo, spooky' look!

  6. A clever idea which almost works. I wonder if highlights with gloss varnish might achieve anything? I'd experiment with scrap plastic (blister packaging?) to see what might happen. If you wanted an "interesting" effect, you could paint the lower parts of the model opaque, then shade up to complete transparency - such as black to pale grey to invisible.
