What Minis Are You Painting?

My Frostgrave barbarian, Crom.

Mr. White, sorry I’m so tardy in my response. It’s a Frontline gaming mat. “Tundra.” 6 x 4.

From certain angles, it’s great, but has the problem of being shiny from other angles.

neoprene or vinyl?
I have vinyl mats, but wish they weren't they definitely shine.

Neoprene. Shines a little like worn vinyl, though. It’s funny how varied the quality of these mats are.

Getting a mat kills me. Neoprene is so expensive to ship. I think I'll end up using carpet.

This Reaper Bones Carrion Worm shall make a fine worm in Frostgrave.



Apparently I made an animated gif thanks to unsteady hands. I need a tripod for my phone.

Mercenary crossbowmen for my Dragon Rampant Temerian warband.

Painted up the first two warscrolls for my Flesh Eater Courts. Taking them to a local store tomorrow so they count towards the Malign Portents campaign.

The ghouls think they're noble and brave Stormcasts and the banshee, the Silver Maiden, is the 'lady' they're charged to protect.



I'm not a fan of a lot of blood effects, but put some on that ghouls shield to show he uses it as a weapon to smack fools with. maybe i put some on the bone weapons for pop? not necessary? Thoughts?

I like the bones without the extra blood.

Dunno man, they're already great. I'm not sure how it will go with dark-ish red on the club, because while the club is white, it will be also against the dark blue.

How do you do the ghost? Blue shade?

The Citadel technical paint "Blood for the Blood God" is the ultimate way to put blood on a mini.

Thanks, fellas. I'll probably leave as is. I did use that blood technical paint on the shield. It's good stuff.

For the banshee, I painted her robes white, washed with the blue glaze, then white edge highlighting. skin silver and hair dark grey and blue glaze for a slight tint.

Ghoul king and ghouls next...

I couldn't handle having a Wiz-War set that wasn't completely painted, so I took care of that by painting Bestial Forces. I think they came out pretty well for the most part. I'm most proud of the Boggart, but he's so damn small it's hard to see in the photo. I can't wait to get this game to the table again.

This is one of those times I wish Fortress Ameritrash had a micro-economy like TOS.
So that I could heap many Trash Bags of gold upon you, only to steal it, put it on my home base and earn myself a victory point.

Because dat's how we keeps it real.

The other night playing Shadespire, someone asked if I'd paint their Fyreslayers. I said sure, for a warband (Orruks). Afterward, I sort of regretted it. Paint comission work is seldom enjoyable to me. It's low pay and I've got plenty of my own minis to paint. Plus, will I ever want to paint my own Fyreslayers having already done a set?

With that, I attempted to work as fast as possible. These guys took three hours last night. Not bad, but I was hoping for around two.
