legion of undead

-

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have.


these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games.
i went with a simple color scheme,
i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them.


the so called leader of the group.
with the simple color and shading these came out nicely.
i might go back and retouch the eyes,
maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets.



rest of the group.
way these came out i might purchase another pack of these,
add more to the more ranks.


Beholder Zombie.
this fellow was fun to paint.
cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group.
(insert evil laugh here)


Crawling Claws.
wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game,
and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this.
made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set.


last year i came across some board games called Dark World,
and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games.
so i used this ogre as a half ogre since he is actually smaller than
the Wizkids Ogre miniature.

    I like how the skellies turned out. Black, grey, bone and metal sounds like it might be pretty flat but it looks solid. Did you ink them with an army painter tone? Are they plastics?

    These look great Mr Martin - I did some skeletons myself a few months back for a pulp collection I am building up - I used both Warlord and Wargames Atlantic plastic multipart figures.

    Excellent. The skeletons and beholder are particularly good. I had a copy of Dark World too, for the minis rather than the game. That plastic centrepiece makes a nice bit o terrain for Frostgrave, I must get it built and painted sometime.

      thank you very much, i have another beholder zombie in the works as a special character.
      Dark World seem cool, but building it and taking it apart was a bit for me.
      that center piece is cool for terrain. i used the manticore figures as statues for my middle eastern/desert terrain set up.

      Consider your statue idea stolen.

operation MotU: wave 2

  continuing with the Masters of the Universe figures from CMON with wave two. wave two consists of Man-E-Faces, Ram Man, Evil-Lyn, Faker, Trap Jaw, Tri-Klops, Panthor. for a change of pace i ended up painting a few hover robots since i have a decent amount of them and they were not part of the original toy-line. Heroic Warriors Man-E-Faces is a member of the Heroic Warriors, notable by his distinctive appearance, with his large, blue metal head on which his faces appear in its screen-like opening. His ability is to change his face from his regular human face to that of a robot and a monster. Ram Man is a member of the Heroic Warriors, characterized by his bulky, spring-legged appearance and flat-topped metal helmet. His special ability is to knock opponents or obstacles down with his super-hard helmet. Evil-Lyn attempts to cast a spell at Teela. Evil Warriors Evil-Lyn is an evil witch who aids Skeletor as his second-in-command with her powers of darkness. She is vastly more intelligen

 so begins a great adventure.... when i bought the CMON Masters of the Universe board game i knew what i was getting myself into. but over time i didn't realize what kind of pile of shame i would have. so i thought instead of being overwhelmed with what i should paint first, i thought i'll paint what the original toy-line was back in the '80's starting with wave 1. wave 1 consists of He-Man, Man-at-Arms, Teela, Stratos, Battle Cat, Skeletor, Mer-Man, Beast Man, and Zodac.  i painted them like the original cartoon or close enough to it. Heroic Warriors He-Man is the alter ego of Prince Adam and also the twin brother of She-Ra. He-Man and his friends defend Eternia, the secrets of Castle Grayskull, and the entire universe from the evil forces of his archenemy Skeletor. Man-At-Arms is the primary title of Duncan. The role of a Man-at-Arms was to advise the ruling planetary monarch and the Royal Guard on military and police affairs. Teela is the Captain of the Royal Guard a

 recently we started a new adventure with our D&D group and i really wanted to do something different as far as encounters with NPC's and monsters alike. i've been reading a lot of H.P. Lovecraft lately and i wanted to play out some of the stories that i read here as of late. the back story of the Necronomicon really intrigues me, so i went and found several arab miniatures from a box of plastic arab spearmen/archers and made my own "Mad" Abdul Alhazred. with the two sets of the temple from Tenfold Dungeons and the recently ordered Lovecraftian monsters from WotC, i am excited to see how everyone reacts to what i have in stored for everyone. and also with such figures on hand i can play some really interesting pulp games. within the ruins of whats left of a temple, Alhazred begins reading from tattered pages from an ancient tome. slowly losing his mind in the process. continuing redoing the bases of my miniature collection. i need more camels. the oozes i'm us
