Another Reaper Bones Barrow Warden

This guy was done back in January and has been begging to be photographed.  He's another of Reaper's Barrow Wardens. I'm not sure what his pose is all about...is he stabbing gophers?

Now on both of my Bones Barrow Wardens, I straightened out the swords by dipping the minis in boiling water, adjusting the sculpt, and then dipping them in ice water.  This worked for a while, but then the original bent pose came back.  Hmmm.

This guy is well armored and would be a pain in the patooty to fight.

Reaper Bones Amiri, Female Barbarian

One of my daughters wanted this really nice miniature for her own.  She asked me last week if I could paint it for her, and I agreed on the condition that she give me the colors she wanted for the various parts. These Pathfinder miniatures are quite detailed and have a lot of parts...I can't even tell what some of them are. Here is Amiri:

This is not a Pro job like the amazing Derek Schubert, but it is good enough for me to like it.  It went fairly fast as I underpainted the whole mini in greyscale and then tried to glaze over it.  Glazing with metallic paint really works well as it helps avoid the clumping and bumpiness caused by the metallic flakes in the paint.

Reaper Bones Mimic

I'm back into painting after a long hiatus of house projects.  Here is a mimic miniature that has been sitting in my box of terrain pieces unpainted for at least a year.  The kids love this mini and always bring it out when we play with the Dungeon Tiles. I finally got motivated to paint this one and I'm glad I did...he looks really cool.

I tried to do some NMM metal for the frame of the chest.  It is a cleaner look, but it tends to look more like greyscale than metal.  The next chest I will paint will be with RMM methods.

I generously applied gloss finish to his teeth and gums to give him that hungry look.
