legion of bones

-

recently i was able to get some more undead miniatures
from the Mantic Games Undead Encounter plastic set.
expanding my skeletons with ten more to giving me a nice small
horde of flailing bones and armor.

i have more zombies in queue to get painted and done.
and with the ghouls instead of adding them to my D&D/fantasy collection,
i glued them to 3mm MDF bases and will add them to my pulp collection.


the expanded legion of skeletons.


with most of the skeletons having fixed poses,
i was able to make different dynamic poses with a few.
a sword thrust into the air or even having an axe stuck in one's head,
it was fun to be able to do this.


spellcasters of the dark magic summoning the soldiers of days past,
awaken once again to do their bidding.

the Well of Lost Stars

 with my D&D group's campaign came to a conclusion last weekend, i needed some thing to let the one group of characters to transfer from my campaign to a fellow group member, Jon's campaign. so i thought what i could do or even use for an easy transfer. i thought i'll use a plot device to teleport the group of heroes to where the next campaign will begin. the Well of Lost Stars. the main part of this terrain piece was part of a failed 3-d print of the Stargate, from the movie of the same name. i have another piece that was printed just not as thicker, i might make it into another Well. the band of heroes investigates the Well of Lost Stars. "what could this be?" the tricky rogue, Usagi asked curiously. to make the green substance is basically some amount of paint and Elmer's glue. i took a light shade of green and mixed it in the glue, then i filled the inside area with the mixed glue and finally added a few dots of a darker green. i ran a toothpick around

continuing working on my orc warband. once again i continued using the slapchop painting method just to get several more painted in a short amount time. since i am using two sets of the Wizkids orc box sets i will have multiple orcs with same armor sculpts and weapons. when i painted these guys i mainly used a red and green for any cloth on their armor. i did convert some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another figure armed the same way. with several of them i used a lighter to some what melt and soften the plastic to either bend wrists/hands holding weapons or even clipped some weapons so they wouldn't look the same to another. the orc warband lead by the self proclaimed king of the orcs, Grishnug. which was the name of my orc hunter from back in my days of World of Warcraft. ( edit: several days after i made this post i got the rest of the Wizkids orcs finished. in all of their glory, the entire w arband. ) the orc king leads a few into battle against a huge spider

 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
