cultists and some sneaky gnomes

-

to be honest i have not done much since last month.
kind of took a gaming break overall, from painting, gaming and even touching a figure.
after the last batch of MotU figures and trying to get another unit done
for Silver Bayonet done, i was losing my enthusiasm for it.
so i'm doing little things here and there.
getting some figures' bases redone or small D&D characters done for adventures,
but large projects are starting to overwhelm me.
i guess my age is creeping up on me faster than i thought. 

back in may of last year i purchased several plastic sprues of Frostgrave cultists and
assembled them but didn't do anything with them for a while.
i ended up painting them a few weeks ago for some encounters for our D&D group.


i separated the characters who are armed with a certain style of blades from the others
and gave them small shields.
i also glued heads with exposed faces or masks on these particular figures compared
to the rest i made.


some armed with crossbows and armed with two-handed maces.


these figures i glued some spare shields from some viking plastic sprues i have.
but with these i glued heads that are fully hooded to make them a little
bit more menacing.


a miniature from Next Level Miniatures,
some kind of a spellcaster or a lich of sorts.


i redid the base of this Lesser Other God miniature from RAFM Miniatures.
maybe a future monster the D&D group will be running into.


Rita's little gnome sorceress, Emily Scarlett and her hound of ill-omen.
not sure if i am satisfied with how this hound came out,
i might get a totally different figure for it and redo it.

my gnome rogue/ranger multiclass fellow, Helmsley.
named him after my hunter character from World of Warcraft.
and got to play with him for the first time this past weekend and damn it was fun.

      thank you very much.
      hoping to get motivated to get more done before the year is out.

    Very nice.
    The Frostgrave plastics are very versatile and useful, have you tried mixing them up?
    Love the gnomes, and the hound looks great to me, very impressive.
    Sometimes I need a hobby break too, I find it helps me to be more creative when I get back into painting

      thanks,
      i bought two frames of cultists and one frame of the soldiers and i thought i did.
      the more i look at them i'm not sure if i did. haha.
      took a break now i'm ramping to get my first leg of the MotU project completed.

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...
