Here is a Bones werewolf done in a brown color scheme.
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.

Grenadier Armored Dwarf with Great Axe
This is an odd mini I found in one of my boxed sets..maybe adventurers. Not my greatest work but I had to keep up the painting momentum.
I used Reaper metallics which I tried to water down. I tinted the plate armor blue. Next time I will try Navy Blue dry bryshed with metals to see if that comes out more smooth.

Grenadier AD&D Druid with Sling
This is a druid from the Grenadier Boxed set 2013 Adventuring Party. Overall I am happy with him and will add him to the Grenadier adventuring team.
He is called Snow-slinging Druid which baffles me. Instead of snow in his sling...I gave him metal bullets for better damage. Snow? I don't see how that would do anything to most enemies...
Here is the back of him. The hat he is wearing is interesting to me...he looks like a Cossack. The hair is the weak point in the paint job....it is a tough color to work with.

Reaper Bones Pirate Captain
Forgive the bad picture..my phone stinks. This is a cool miniature pirate captain I painted a few months ago.
I use prescription bottle tops as holders...isn't that wild?
The sword is real metal paint...the buckles are nonmetallic metal.

Reaper Bones Troll
Here's a Reaper Bones Troll. This mini has been painted for a few years and like the bugs has never made it up here until now. It collected a lot of dust and had to be touched up.
I call him a Tongue Troll. He is a fairly crazy looking monster that would likely scare the (&*@ out of most adventurers...
I spent a lot of time trying to blend the lighter skin on the underside of the hands and on the knuckles with the darker skin. The Tongue was fun to paint and coat with gloss .
Here is a final shot from the other side. Overall a cool miniature. If I had to do it again , I would do more contrasting colors on this one...perhaps the back scales or moss would be much more contrasting.

Grenadier AD&D Charging Warrior
This mini in the middle must have come from the bits
bin at my local game store 4 years ago. I finally got around to painting him up. He now joins the other Grenadier AD&D brave souls!!!
I spent a lot of time trying to get a clean look on the different sections of this guy. These old Grenadier minis are hard to get right.

Norien, Female Magic User
This is Norien. She came out of my Grenadier AD&D boxed set called adventuring party. I do not know what she is holding so I painted it in non metallic metal Silver.
I assume she is casting a spell here.
She had a really old coat of primer from the 80s on her. I tried painting over it and that was a mistake. I should have stripped all the old primer off and then painted her. Her face was really tough for me to paint oh, and I actually had to do it twice to get it to where I liked it.
