finished a friend's dungeon spiders.
quick and easy.
after painting these i kinda wish i had collected a goblin army filled,
several months ago i purchased a few wild west gaming items and when i got this idea to create a western theme Perilous Tales campaign i needed something that would resemble the Whateley family from the lore of H.P. Lovecraft. i was not sure where to find such an obscure collection of figures, especially for a western theme but i looked high and low. i looked at other game systems and found that Dracula's America had a great selection of horror themed miniatures that i wasn't even aware of. so i got the box set of the Church of Dagon miniatures, which basically screams Lovecraft in the name. after looking over what the set had i knew this was perfect for what i needed for Perilous Tales. the old father, the mysterious daughter, the deformed son, and even some not so well looking fellows. all i needed was the "Dunwich Horror" but i had a spare alien figure from my discarded Zombicide Invaders board game. several of the followers of Old Whateley. Old Whateley and Lavini...
several weeks ago i was reading some posts on Dave's Wargames Terrain Workshop blog page , and he was in the process of adding some terrifying Gnarloc Raiders for i assume is a Kroot army. but i noticed it was for a painting challenge that i did not know about. so i went over to Dead Dick's Tavern and checked out what this challenge was about. for the month of May, this challenge you had to paint a monstrous creature or something big. i thought this challenge would be cool, but unfortunately i didn't really have any big monsters to paint or whatnot. until i remembered i did have some things somewhere. last year i bought a terrain crate from Mantic Games called "the Haunted Manor". and in it was what they called a goliath monstrosity. which basically to me was a chunk of hard plastic in the shape of an eldritch monster of sorts. picking the color scheme for it i didn't want to go with the green i have been doing lately for these Lovecraft creatures. and what c...
after several months of taking a break from painting my MotU figures i was watching a few episodes of the 2002 Masters of the Universe series and i got a little inspiration to continue Operation MotU. i asked my good friend Doctor Merkury (go visit his blog page, Doctor Merkury's Lab ), which faction should i do next and he suggested Snake Men, so here we are. there were some miniatures i was sort of intimidated by painting and some i was just not fond of how they were sculpted and such. but i think they came out fairly well i tried to stick to the color schemes of either the original toys. King Hiss, in human form and snake form. Snake Face and Lady Slither. Rattlor. Fang-Or and Tung Lashor. when i went to paint Tung Lashor i tried to duplicate the markings the MotU Origins action figure has. Sssqueeze. the miniature had the arms sculpted down to the base so i bent the arms upwards which meant i had to replace the hands since they would have broken off with spare Warhammer Skaven ...
