Cryx Warband done for commission. Client was very pleased and says the pictures do not do them justice. Now, how many times have you heard that on Coolminiornot? :lol:

Another angle:

As always, all pictures are thumbnail links to larger pictures.

Some more paint jobs I squeezed out between larger projects. First up is a city guard from Zandyrium (a city in my D&D campaign). This is a very old Marauder figure.

Although the picture is a tad blurry I really like how his face turned out.

Here she is the Erinyes everybody loves to summon - Naja Nivyah. Note her hellish base.

And a shot from what some might consider her good side

Fantastic stuff. Really good work on the Cryx Warband.

A good friend of mine introduced me to Warmachine several months ago. Fun game all around. I've decided to stay clear of it simply because I need to control the spending.

Too many hobbies, not enough time or money. LOL

Greetings,

I finished a pair of miniatures for my TOUGHEST critics – my son and daughter. We sometimes play Talisman and they were particularly displeased that I had not painted the pieces yet. So I volunteered to paint their favorite two characters – they chose the minotaur and the goblin. {Both evil creatures BTW – should I be worried?}

I asked them how they would like them painted and they both said exactly like the card Daddy. I knew that was trouble, but did the best I could. My son was especially harsh, pointing out I had the skin tone all wrong and the checks on the gloves were incorrect. I did repaint it some, but finally I said, ‘this is a mini that will be abused by a 5-year-old on a regular basis. I hereby pronounce it done!’

Well check them out for yourself and see how I did:

They look very good.

My 5 year old son and 3 year old daughter are always coming up to me and asking me if they can do "battle". That means play with miniatures. We spend at least two evenings a week in the basement as they adventure with miniatures.

My son has told me that when he grows up he wants to be a miniature sculptor, besides a Jedi and a gladiator... He cracks me up.

The only real difference I can see is that the Minotaur is shiny.

That goblin is Awesome, with a capital Awe. How old are the wee ones, btw?

Not sure why the minotaur looks shiny in the photo - it's pretty matte in real life. I will be coating both of them in massive amounts of gloss so they both will be shiny in short order anyway

My son is 5, my daughter is 4, I have another son who is 21 months, and a son due on September 2.

We play a lot of Heroscape, Talisman, and D&D. The D&D is basically a hackfest using the basic rules, but they enjoy rolling the dice.
