A couple of years ago while I was working on a lot of zombie and survivor miniatures I bought a pair of miniature resin portaloos/portapottys from Fenris Games. These were planned for use as respawn/reinforcement points in L4D inspired zombie games. I never got around to painting them though. Until now that is.

I impulsively bought eight plastic Renedra tents a couple of years ago but never did anything with them. With recent gaming involving miniature forays into alien jungles, I figured that increasing the number of tent models that I have available might be handy. I gave the neglected tents a similar quick and dirty, inky paint job to the one that I gave the other Renedra tents and Warhammer Goblin tee-pees a few years ago.
These are very bare bones affairs, but I dont really believe in spending as much time painting these sorts of things as I would painting”proper” miniatures. They look perfectly adequate as is to me.
I went for a generic brown finish achieved by a couple of ink washes over a white basecoat. The tents are then broadly suitable for use by everything from my futuristic jungle fighters through post-apocalyptic scavengers to ork marauders.
Obviously certain additions or changes in colour scheme would make the tents more appropriately themed for one force/theatre or another, but what they would gain in character they would lose in practicality. As I dont ever see myself assembling/painting another 28mm campsite, keeping these tents suitable for use with as many of my miniature forces as possible makes sense.

Helga – now with orange trim
After some agonising about realism(?) and return on painting time spent I decided to give Helga a little more attention this evening. After taking on board some of the feedback that I got on the original Helga paint job, I decided to add orange trim to the four wings (fins? Aerofoils?) and to a handful of small details on the little turret and the hull roof.
I think that this improves the look of the model without making it excessively toylike, although I think that the photography might be slightly worse this time around. Many thanks to all of you who gave helpful feedback 🙂
More feedback on the finished job is definitely welcome of course, but I dont think that I will be returning to Helga with a paintbrush again one way or another.

Treacherous sand clam infested jungle.
No Rogue Trader Deathworld Flora and Fauna Project is complete without a few of these.

Horrorclix is a subset of the pre-painted “clix” miniature games which have themselves been doing the rounds for over a decade now. I picked up a few Horrorclix cheaply on Ebay and gave them a quick zhuzh to rapidly bulk out and add some variety to my ongoing Deathworld/Alien Flora & Fauna project. Continue reading
