Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

[MGibster]

That shambling mound in the background is such a fun miniature. I'm not the biggest Wizkids fan, but I do love some of their monster designs.

That’s pretty much how I feel about Wizkids. Last week I decided to give them another chance, but painting their PC miniatures does not spark joy.

I saw the news about the next HeroQuest expansion and got motivated to paint my assassin figures, so that’s good!

Painting in a different scale is supposed to help you stretch your skills a bit. Here’s a MacFarland Toys artist’s proof figure of the ogryn character from the Dark Tide video game. At this scale it’s much easier to add details like eyes.

Really nice job on the face, there.

Thank you. My wife compared it favorably to Uncle Fester and I'll take it. I'm going to actually put in some pupils later this afternoon, so wish me luck.

How tall is that guy?

I've got a couple of Pez dispensers I've been meaning to repaint to work on my faces...

How tall is that guy?

A little under nine inches and the head pops off easily.

I’m going to call the head done. I might okay around with the eyes a bit more later, but for now I think I’ll get his arms and other fleshy bits.

Nice. I think the biggest "mini" I ever painted was about a foot and a half tall - my mom had gotten into ceramics at one point and had a really nice angel figure she wanted to give to one of the relatives, so I agreed to paint it up on commission since it had really nice detail on it.

I finally finished all the HeroQuest minis I own. I don’t have Against the Ogre Horde or the two from the mythic version, and I don’t have the monk. But still- it’s a LOT of painting! The album has like 45 pics. But here’s the number of figures I painted in one photo.
