tomb guards and camels

-



recently got myself a pack of tomb guards from Reaper Miniatures,
to add more characters for my Pharaoh's legion.
only got one pack which has four miniatures but just two poses.
so i'm happy with that.

this collection of mummies and mummified characters just keeps
getting bigger and bigger and that's okay.



and also got a few camels for what could be scatter terrain.
these camels are equipped with baggage on them.
could use them as objectives or just part of the scenery.

i am not a fan of Reaper Miniatures Bones figure line,
got some miniatures that were bent and tried to get them back
into shape but with no results.
i try to stay away from Bones but i couldn't help myself with these and had to get a few.


members of the Knights of the Crescent Moon out on patrol,
watching with a keen eye for any wrong doing in the country side.


the Black Scorpion and few members of the Thousand Sons,
waiting on each other to report on the whereabouts of the infamous plane
the "Screaming Rooster" and it's pilot, Garrett Cunningham.

    Early Bones were a lot worse, they've improved dramatically over the past couple years. Older Bones sculpts though, are still only available in the older iterations of the Bones material. Holding them in hot water to soften the material, straightening the bent part and then submerging it in ice water to set the material can help sometimes.

      yeah i've tried that. for some reason i can't get it to work. idk.
      the camels were bent at the knees, so i took a lighter and heated them for a few secs and held them in place how i wanted them and that worked.
      last year i bought a Dark Young miniature and damn that was warped all hell, couldn't fix it if i tried.

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 t...

for the Lord of Wolf, for Russ!

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
