I use this miniature for my level 10 fighter Gromgar. Another fast paint job on this one. I just love the bright green skin.
That jagged sword is cool. Another Bones done from the pile!!!
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 use this miniature for my level 10 fighter Gromgar. Another fast paint job on this one. I just love the bright green skin.
That jagged sword is cool. Another Bones done from the pile!!!
This hobgoblin is made from a dark plastic material that is smooth and clear. He is really easy to paint since he is large and has lots of flat surfaces.
I just did a standard military leather uniform on him using speed paints and Reaper acrylics for highlights.
This is a resin 3D printed snake from a local shop. I don't know the maker, but I think it is cool. I went for a tropical tree snake look...but it turned out too co
It is covered in mud and vines with flowers, and is obviously a venomous snake as the fangs are huge.
I would imagine any tier 1 party would have a tough time with this.
Do you think I should gloss this thing to look wet?
I paint sporadically these days..so I'm posting pictures in batches.
Here is the back.
Here are a couple of giant frogs fro Reaper. I used gloss on the eyes and mouths. No speed paint on these.
OK so this mini turned out rough. Slap Chop did not work and the Bones texture was rough.
This guy has so much detail. I would rather he be resin or metal. Next time no synthetic brushes.
Well at least he is done and could be used in a game.
Here is an ogre smasher with an unusual skin tone. It is a grey blue.
I used speed paints on a zenithal primed mini as seen below.
I then did a lot of edging and highlighting fixes.
He looks good for the tabletop.
He is big and very impressive. I would love a warband of these guys.
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.
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.
