This guy is yet another Reaper Bones mini. He is speed painted on top of a white dry brush job. I want to work on that to make the undercoat smoother.
He looks a bit rough thanks to the lighting.
A blog designed to show off my fantasy miniature painting hobby. I try to paint vintage fantasy miniatures when I am not working on my mountain of Reaper Bones minis. I want to eventually post thoughts on playing Old School D&D, board games and crafting scenery.

I thought this wereboar was a warthog man LOL. Oh well they have similar coloring. I used speed paints and a lot of earth tone paints.
He looks a bit yellow and green. How would he be used in a game?
I'm sure he is very fast and inflicts nasty damage from his tusks.
This is apparently a Japanese demon troll or ogre called an Oni. I wanted to do blue skin for a change and I like it compared to Red or skin color. This guy was slap-chop painted using Army Painter Speed paints and then Reaper MSP paints for cleaning up and highlights. Done to a tabletop standard.
I don't know if his name is Rogaku, or that that is the type of Oni. I think it is his name. Anyways, here is the back.
Mushy II
This giant is part of my pile of minis from way back to the Bones 3 Kickstarter. I'm trying to work through that pile...it is slow....but speed paints help.
When I fist applied the speed paints, they went on splotchy and pooled in places. You can see this below. The above shows him after cleaning up with acrylics. Below was the first pass.
This giant wererat would make a great boss to fight in a game. I can see using plague rats as his minions.
For me , the hardest part is picking out colors. I wanted to do a gray rat...so i needed good contrasting skin for gray to make him pop.
This is Spikeshell, apparently an evil tortoise. The sculpt caught my eye as a very unique mini. I do find it hard that tortoises can be evil.
I primed him black and tried to zenithal highlight him with gray and then white. Then I used speedpaints for quick coverage and to test color schemes. After that, I cleaned up areas, added borders, highlights and details.
He turned out to be a nice tabletop standard.
These are Wizkids Dragonborn fighters.
For these I first Primed them black and the drybrushed the with white. I then used Army Painter speed paints to get the colors on the minis. Speedpaints can look a bit rough and splotchy, so I did another pass cleaning the edges and adding highlights with acrylics I have...reaper paints.
Overall the process took a few hours and gave a result I can live with. My old process would have taken a long time.
