Just wanted to post up so the 3 people who occasionally read this thread wont think I've passed on, plus I've recently gotten back into some painting and conversion.

Pic of our recent D&D Age of Worms adventuring group. The far left mini is a Reaper Conversion that I liked for my Dwarven rogue... added a morning star to his off-hand, a backpack, and a couple other fiddly bits to make him look more "adventury". Went for a real ruddy/dirty/mole-man kinda paintjob. Lighting's not the best, but you can get the point.
The second guy from the left, Brother Stoute, is a particular favorite because it is one of the most invasive conversions I've done. It's basically pieces from 3 different minis, bunches of putty, repositioning pieces, and a paint scheme that the player (Heapthaumaturgist on these boards) came up with that I really dug when I put it down on the final mini. I really went frankenstein's monster on that bad boy, and ended up with something I thought really captured the character well. Funny, because several times in the middle I was convinced that I'd just ruined several relatively cool minis.
The third mini from the left is a slight-custom job done for OldDrewId, and I liked how the color scheme came out, but the picture really doesnt flatter the paint on that one. A little bit of conversion to add a scabbarded sword and a couple other minor things.
Colors reflect her status as a cleric of Heironious.
The last one is an old paint on a Reaper mini which has since been mostly repainted with a slightly different color scheme that really makes it a more attractive fig. Since the two dwarves in this group are close cousins, and are what we have affectionately phrased as "Appalachian Hill Dwarves", the player of the Axe-wielding Dwarf reminded me that Red Hair was not right, that since they were country dwarves, and cousins, that one had to have brown hair, and the taller one blonde... well, you see his point. I have since refused to paint up the party's wagon in orange with a rebel flag on it. Anyhow, the mini looks LOTS better with some decent highlighting and blonde hair/beard than red. I'll try to find an updated pic for him soon, as well as post links to Pierce's flicker account where many of the other recent pics currently reside.
