monsters and more british

-

 at first i did not want to spend a lot on the Silver Bayonet but i caught the
bug and now i am looking into and want to do a warband of russians.
but for now last week i got a box of redcoats for expanding the 95th i already have
and also create a solid unit of soldiers along with other recruits.


once again i picked up a box of Perry Miniatures, this time british line infantry.
also with this box i was able to make a few extra characters like a veteran hunter,
a supernatural investigator, and another character from the Sharpe tv show.

still need to paint my french unit and i will admit i am kinda intimidated because i want
to do justice with the correct uniform colors and such. 

in between assembling the units for Silver Bayonet i have been painting the creatures and
monsters for the game also.
about 99% of the monsters i got for this game are from Next Level Miniatures.
pretty much the reason why is because they are cheap and cost effective.


some ghosts to haunt the final resting ground for the fallen.


Next level Miniatures had this Glabrezu and didn't realize it was a demon in D&D,
i was thinking this crab demon would do good for Silver Bayonet.
so now i have something for both games.
win-win!!


a ghastly ghoul.


a troll hulk roaming the hillside looking for human flesh to eat!

Lt. Sharpe and the Chosen Men run into a troll in the woods.
it may not be a cave troll...but a troll is a troll!!

    Another great update to your Silver Bayonet project. Those monsters look first-rate, and having paid their website a visit I can see why you like them so much. I think the ghosts you've painted are particularly awesome looking - especially with your green palette.

      thank you so much.
      Next Level Miniatures in my opinion is a great choice for inexpensive and decent looking figures.
      there are some cleaning up but still i always keep the $$$ in mind.
      i slapchop and use Army Painter speedpaints on everything. the ghosts were done by layering shades of green.

      start with a dark shade and let dry then go back and drybrush a thin coat of white acrylic paint. after that i go over that with a lighter shade of green until i think it looks good enough.

    These look great! I'll echo Blaxkleric's comment, the green of the ghosts is excellent. They look like they're glowing!

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...
