Well, I've gotten more Bones, but not made time to paint.. as evidence by the last date of this thread. So, I am trying to get back into the habit.
Below are Coral Golem, Shipwreck Golem, and Kraken.

Some quick paint jobs on a group of Bugbears and a group of Gnolls.

12/20/17 - Undead variety. Still working back up to detail level....

 

[dogoftheunderworld]

A brief interlude.... first: a demonic creature for a friend's campaign.. described as a dire wolf mixed with a purple dragon:


And second.. I have been looking for some cheap skeletons for a while to do some Huge/Gagantuan projects, but not having luck. Then, I heard that Twilight Creations was back in business, and I was able to order 4 bag o' skeletons (which have been out of stock everywhere).

4 bags, pre & post bone primer:


Project List (artwork from Wizards of the Coast)
- Carcuss Crab (Eberon)

- Greater Cadaver Colecter (MMIII)

- Charnel Hound (MMIII)

- Necronaut (MMIII)


Other ideas??

That kraken and coral golem are awesome! Now I wish I would have had a miniature like that when my players actually fought a coral golem. Instead we had to substitute it with a random miniature of similar scale that we happened to have lying around. And isn't that always the problem with minis?

Thanks. And that is very true -- I always need just one more mini I usually find a cool mini I have and build the encounter based on the mini, rather than the other way around.... but sometimes you just need that Undead were-shark

Batch of Human Male Warriors "Armored" (mostly). I only re-based one of these. With so many figures to paint, and so many of the Reaper Bones bases integrated into the figure.... it is just not wroth it to me, unless something is really off. As long as the base is about scale, and the mini isn't tipping over - I'm okay for these table-top ready minis.

I like the cape on the re-based barbarian figure a lot. The highlights really give it a sense of movement. Well done!

Thank you! Glad to see your thread starting up again as well!

Mashaaf / Great Worm / Old One
(The base was a little clunky, so I re-based to a plain 4" disc.)

Nice!

I decided to try painting a large group of minis at once... so I have not been ale to post any "finished" minis. I am working on a about 30 human/elf male figures... light or no armor mostly (I did the armored group above). Here is the progress so far:

Basic color scheme of main clothing:


Colors mostly blocked in, and blackwash complete:

blackwash complete

What do you mean? On the armor or the entire figure? What kind of wash are you using?

Usually the entire figure (sans head) with a watered down black paint. I like the look it gives, not just the details it can bring out, but also the general worn/dirty adventuring look. I usually wait until I am done with the mini , then blackwash, then go back and add highlights/touch ups/dry brush/etc. For this batch, I did the wash before I was really done, to see if it saved me time on touch ups (where the wash was too dark).

As always, a work in progress (my skills that is).

A Tiefling commission for a friend. It was a 3D printed model, and a little grainy in texture. I need to ask him where it was done. Anyway, it was part of the group I started above, but needed to finish it up for him.

[Sorry, from my phone.. always gets auto-rotated somewhere and I can't seem to fix after posting]

 

[pogre]

Good job on that considering the quality of the mini. I'm not sure if I would have even attempted to paint a miniature that "grainy."

 

[dogoftheunderworld]

First finished from the large group I started (above). Did a little more with basing, but still keeping it simple to balance time and usability.
