Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tom Cashel" data-source="post: 1935078" data-attributes="member: 321">Agreed. In my D20 Modern campaign, I've adopted the idea that the minis are simply idealized representations, "game pieces" if you will, but aren't meant to be tiny exact replicas of the characters. I think it does a well-rounded, fleshed-out character a disservice to visualize them as a little hunk of painted alloy. Plus, in the modern day characters rarely wear the same clothes day in, day out. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I just finished the Reaper <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2800s/2878_G" target="_blank">dire bear</a>, and I'm almost done with the <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2700s/2718_G" target="_blank">ghoul king</a>. He's cool! Base coat rotting flesh, blue wash for that corpselike quality, then drybrushed coats of ghostly grey and again, rotting flesh. The tongue and meat are wet and red (finished with ink). I still need to put gobbets and spatters of blood on him--could be the grossest mini I've ever painted. YES!Also working on this <a href="http://www.reapermini.com/gallery/2800s/2838_G" target="_blank">Faceless Horror</a>, aka a shoggoth. You can't see it, but it's got a human skeleton wedged down its gullet.Next I'll be painting a street gang and a few modern magi from the old Ral Partha Shadowrun line. Hopefully I can get some pics of them--need a good camera first, 'natch.</blockquote>
