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 5

this wave i don't have much happening. i have been painting miniatures in order of original release starting back in 1981. i don't have a miniature for every character that was made. even though during the original toy runs of the MotU action figures they were releasing She-Ra related figures and also Snake Men alongside the MotU, i'm planning on painting them as whole faction groups. in wave 5, i have mainly Heroic Warriors which consists of Extendar, Stonedar, Snout Sprout, Rokkon and the rest of the Hover Robots. Heroic Warriors. Extendar. Rokkon. Snout Sprout. Stonedar. and the Hover Robots. Fisto raises his steel gauntlet into the air and exclaims, "more the merrier!"

 since our D&D group has been coming to the end of our second campaign, i've been getting some figures that have been sitting around painted. bouncing between the wild west stuff and the getting what i needed done for the D&D campaign, it's been a chore. now since a member of our group, Jon is gonna have a run at dungeon mastering, i can get things painted and done that's not D&D related. here are just a few figures i did this past week. i have several orcs and goblins i want to do for Orctober so i'm saving those for then. i have a few more D&D odds and ends to do, but i have been starting to do a little prep work for my follow-up campaign after Jon's, collecting figures and basing them. catalog what i have and what i will need. a vampire, but not just a vampire. a pivotal figure in our recent campaign, the heir to the throne. looking back at what could of been..... a half-elf cleric. i used this figure for a character i created for a short time as

temple ruins

some time ago i ordered several pieces of 3d printed terrain from a company called Ender Toys off of Amazon. pretty nice product, not much cleaning or what not. to hide the majority of the print lines and such i used Mod Podge spray. gave the terrain pieces two or three sprays and left to dry for a day or two. then went over with a flat black prime coat, then used a Granite Gray from Apple Barrel paints for the dry brushing. Valkia and her mage apprentices searching for a lost relic. took some Games Workshop graveyeard tombs and created a ruin mausoleum of some sort. a necromancer and cohort are trying to raise the spirit of the long dead warrior... with some ghouls haunting the grounds. a fearless dwarf fighter faces off an Orc barbarian. Victory or Death!! as i was writing this post i was finishing up the last few pieces of the ruins. with two of them i sawed and glued back together into T-sections, so i wouldn't have just straight pieces all over the place. come to think of it,
