Per the title…fan favorite from Bones 5.

Hello All, Here are photos of a 03931 Dark Heaven Legends "Alena Frostblade, Human Female Barbarian" I completed recently. Thank you for looking.

Here's all the merfolk from the Bones V Kickstarter. I've been working on these off and on for about a year and really enjoyed them. I didn't spend a ton of time on them, but then they were so well designed and easy to paint I didn't need to. When I started this I was looking for something a little more colorful to paint, and since these were already getting painted as part of a nautical themed project I've got going, they fit perfectly for that. I'm really looking forward to these hitting the table. I've got some Evil DM plans to drag unsuspecting characters beneath the waves! First up, the group shot: This one is my favorite. She even got a pet shark. Cheers all and thanks for looking!

A leader for my undead minions. Really tried to blend and shade more with mini. A couple of touch ups and it’s ready to seal

Hello All, Here are photos of a 77203 Dark Heaven Bones "Alastriel, Female Elf Wizard" I completed yesterday. Thank you for looking.

Painted this one to resemble the Joker.

This is one I received in a Box of Goodwill a while back. I thought she might be a Reaper mini, but could not find her listed. Metal, nothing to glue, fun to paint.

The one's I just recently finished over the week.

A friend of mine who plays D&D said she had a Tiefling character that was unpainted. "Unpainted? You take your character to your game unpainted? GIVE ME THAT!" That's a sin knowing I like to paint and you're walking around with an unpainted mini. I asked her for the specifics she'd want. She told me silver hair, orange eyes, red skin, and bone colored horns. With that I went to work. Not sure I'm in love with my colors on this one. I'm also unsure if the red skin comes off as red. I used red as the base and then highlighted up with beige red. Purple and green felt strong, but ok to use together. Let me know.

WIP: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/79298-children-of-the-night-by-glitterwolf/page/29/#comments Hope you like it. I'm going to print some other Golems soon and create a unit of these for my Undead Legion. Let me know what you think! *************************** Saemus the gravedigger was almost finished, he had been digging a grave for old lady Biddington, he climbed out of it and stuck his spade in the ground. Hmmm, he thought almost nightfall, it's getting dark already, he looked around and noticed a visitor, kinda late for visiting the grave of a loved one, Saemus thought. The man was dressed in a brown robe, maybe a priest? Saemus walked to the stranger to ask him if he was going to stay for long, he wanted to close the gates to the cemetary and go home, but then he stopped. The stranger held a scroll and he was reading out loud in strange words, the symbols on the scroll seemed to glow in the dark. Feeling uneasy, Saemus took a step back, the stranger hadn't noticed him yet, what was he doing? Then it happened! The stranger spoke louder and louder, repeating words in a strange language and the very ground began to shake. A tombstone was lifted from the ground, a part of a bronze statue flew towards the tombstone, then rocks, stone, the bones of the buried all merged together and a large figure rose from the ground! The Graveyard itself came alive! Saemus had seen enough he turned around and ran! Behind him he could hear the evil laughter of the stranger. Saemus ran and ran, he would never dig a grave in his life again! *****************************

Hey everyone! Here's 50319, Olav Gunderson the Dwarf Gambler converted as Addren Pocketdeep to be integrated into my diorama. I removed the gun he held in his right hand to replace it with a purse. This Chronoscope model was sculpted by Jason Wiebe.

First off, my light box isn’t large enough for this fella. Second, this is the white plastic version from the original KS fulfillment. He came with two right wings, and in a surprising twist of Reaper non-customer service they wouldn’t send me a left wing. I contacted them prior to ReaperCon, got pushed off. I was at ReaperCon where they had a bunch of them, but couldn’t get a wing. Finally found half a left wing amongst their kitbashing tables and had to mock up a left wing with the second right wing I had. The shelf he stands upon audibly shifted beneath the weight of his greatness.

Very clean lines on this model

I rate this mini as being very high on the fun scale for the great detail and the fact that it could be painted so many different ways.

I thought I bought 5 of these... I guess not. Ready for game night! I broke them up into 2 pics as these guys are pretty big. They're supposed to be "medium" characters (per DnD) but they don't fight on a 25mm base. I'll try a 30mm base after I pick some up.

Got to one of the bigger ones on my pile of to do's from the Kick Starters... It has been sitting there primed dark grey for a long time.

Hey there! I completed another model for my diorama. Here's the 04022, Goose Lady sculpted by Bob Ridolfi for Reaper Miniatures. Have a great weekend!

Painted up this necromancer from Northstar. All Reaper paints, chiefly retro emerald, carbon gray, ginger cookie, ebony flesh, and maggot white (happy to discuss particular color groups in more detail). The base was from Dragon Forge and really seemed to work well with this character. Overall, I love this sculpt. It has about a million different elements that can be embellished, from the bottles to the bald head that invites freehand, the cloak, and the huge amount of jewelry. Comments and criticism are welcome.

A few just recently finished. She is the one I just finished. I can see now I made a mistake trying to get cute on the blade instead of just making it plain. Oh well.

It's only Tuesday, but it's already been one of those weeks where you'd just like to tell everyone what to go do with themselves. So last night, when I sat down to paint a bit, this seemed like the appropriate miniature to work on. I was going to put it on my office desk, but my wife saw me loading it up this morning and now it's hers. That's okay though, I bought ten of these in the Kickstarter. Because sometimes the world needs extra middle fingers directed at it. Cheers all and thanks for looking.

I did a Nagendra Swordsman for RCL in January based on the blue pit viper. It was fun, so I figured I’d set him up with a date. Get ready for a teeming horde of blue baby snakes (calling out any fans of Zappa…!). Anyways, this time I knew to put magenta down first, then work on the blues. I didn’t go into it planning it as an NMM study, but the copper, steel and gold all seemed appropriate choices. I was happy with the effect I got by adding a purple wash into the copper triad, it seemed to give a better burnish to the highlight color, which then could be selectively pushed with a second highlighting (verdigris was last). Still not happy with the sword, but all of the relief work makes those Nagendra swords tough! As always, comments and criticism are welcomed!

02823, 02676, 03660, ???? (coudln't find this ones sku), 03506 (using magnets for interchangeable familiars)

A quick paint job. Looking back, i should have used a different color to make the mini pop a bit more. He looks kind of bland.

A few just recently finished. As with the other paladin I had done, tried to keep his armor bright.

I went into my local hobby shop the other day to buy some paint and primer...and apparently I needed a hill giant too because I came out with one of those also. Luckily when I got home I realized I didn't already own it. In fact I have one of each of the Reaper hill giants. Well I was inspired to paint them up and here is what I came up with. MSP Tanned skin plus highlight and shadow for the skin. Army painter for the rest. Looking at the pics, I realize some bits here and there that need work but mostly I'm pretty happy. Guess which GM is going to have his players fight some hill giants someday... Close up pics here right to left: I need to work on my photography a bit. Also, anybody know if I need to reduce the file size on the pics before I upload them? They are about 6 mb each.

I've wanted to finish this model for a long time. There was a carrying off the loot scenario in mordheim that I always planned this model for.

A quickie I did shortly after ReaperCon last year. I love this model!

Hey guys. Just shot some photos of an army I just finished for Dragon rampant. I'm doing a bunch of Conan the Barbarian, Cimmerian themed armies, kind of like savage desert wasteland battles. Anyway, this army is themed on grey skinned cannibal cultists with a great demon. The doggies are REAPER Hell Hounds. The regular infantry guys are Runewars Uthuk The fattie guys are Uthuk as well The heroes up front are a mix of D&D and Zombicide Black Plague The large guys on the back left are Kings of War, Abyssal Dwarf, Grotesques The large savage dudes on the back right are Shieldwolf Mountain Orcs with old GW zombie heads. The large demon is a MOM Miniatures Hell Beast. Super happy with how they turned out, thought I'd share. -Jim

The one's I just recently finished over the week. Orange is my favorite color and don't paint with it much and couldn't pass this one up.

I submitted this for the February RCL ‘23. She came out of the kickstarter box a little goofy (her left arm is a bit of a mess) although not nearly as bad as Zeus. As usual, Reaper immediately sent me a replacement w/o question, what great people! While he’s going to get chopped up for broken pillar parts, I thought I’d try something different and go for a bronze statue look with her. Just one coat of brown over the olive primer told me it was the right choice. This was just an amazing painting experience - each color (I used Reaper’s Power Palette on a brass statue picture to pick candidate colors) just seemed like a revelation. I can’t believe how much a light brown over drab green can so immediately read as ‘aged bronze’. Comments and criticisms are welcome. I’m omitting the front view, but rest assured I resisted the impulse to give her a shiny nipple to match more famous statuary!

Straight from the covers of the PCs secret romance novels.... we call him Fabius

A few just recently finished. She is the one I like most of the three just finished .... probably because she has an animal.

I finally painted my first mini from my Bones 5 order. Hopefully this starts the juices going again. Only 500 or so more to go!

Hello everyone! Here's a beautiful horse sculpted by Sandra Garrity for Reaper Miniatures. This equine looks a lot like 02064 Silverhorn the unicorn and 02150 Raindancer the Pegasus. 😉 It's the mount of the following riders; 02261 William Drakehart, 02273 Derek The Tall, 02235 Vanessa Redstorm and 02239 Mia Hartstorm. I didn't push the base any farter because it will later be embedded in a diorama and will no longer be visible. I'm currently painting the cavalier that will be mounted on it. Do you prefer black or white background on the pictures? Have a great day!

Note: "Destrier" is the spelling used in the official Calden Keep lore.

Bones V dreadmere ranger. Submitted for the Feb ‘23 RCL in the ‘something shiny’ category. His sword slowly got bendy again, I should have been more clever in photographing him. Still, a great subject for OSL practice. Comments and criticism are welcome!

I did this guy in January for the ‘23 RCL. I love me my old school monsters, and having the posable metal appendages was fun. Comments and criticisms are welcome! Rraahrrr!

This was a surprise Christmas present from very kind friends with a printer. The figure is amazing the level of detail and thought is incredible. Which is why it has taken me since Boxing Day to try and do it justice - painting the glyphs was something I could only do for a few minutes before my hands gave up . I've attempted variation of light and weathering and the colours are I hope as authentic as watching every single documentary on National Geographic, Discovery + and the BBC about Aztecs, Inca and Mayans can get me.. The figure is huge and I was lucky to have the chance to paint it

The one's I just recently finished over the week.

Morning everybody, just got this one finished and photographed this early morn, one of Michael Evan's halflings, a mage: Big fan of Stonehaven and especially like this figure, as he looks like a traditional Tolkienesque adventuring hobbit, but with that caveat that he has got himself a bit of magic. Way back when in the olden days, halflings were either fighters or thieves, so this is a nice little modern twist. Anyways, enjoy!

Mark another monster off my Dragonlance creature list. The Kyrie are bird folk living in the same archipelago as the minotaurs. They don't really come up much outside of an adventure in DL 16 World of Krynn, but they're in all the bestiaries, so I was obligated. Physically, they aren't all that different from the aarakocra (which Dragonlance also has), but they don't have beaked faces. So, I bought a birdman, beheaded it, replaced the head from a set, and sculpted the neck and hair. The model had smooth spots not really present in the artwork so I freehanded in the suggestion of some fine feathers. Comments and criticism are welcome.

Put together some reaper models from the movie trailer

Reaper Bones - Coffin and Corpse SKU: 77633 Part of my Children of the Night Project. WIP: https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/79298-children-of-the-night-by-glitterwolf/page/28/#comments ********************* Rest in Peace, well that won't happen when a necromancer is looking for fresh recruits. *********************

Yog-soth knows the gate, yog-soth is the gate. Yog-soth is the key and the gate. Past, present, and future l, all are in in Yog-soth. He knows where the old ones broke through of old, and where They shall break through again. He knows where they have tried Earth's fields and where They still tread them, and why no one can behold Them as They tread Man she was a pain in the but to get into the correct position. Had to peel her off the base twice. Once because i forgot to put the 'arms' on, the second the reposition the arm holding the pillar so i could actually glue it onto the pillar.

Good evening my Reaperlangarians! So it feels like I haven't been too productive this year, got kind of stuck on painting Lord Soth, which seemed to take longer than it should have, but now that he's painted up, it's onwards to other little projects. These two I actually finished last weekend, but I always take pictures with sunny weather, but it's been cloudy all week long until today. The only time it was sunny was last Sunday when I got up, went grocery shopping really quickly to Aldis and when I got home, saw the sun. I went into the shower really quickly to clean up and then I was going to take pictures of these ladies, but by the time I got out and dried off it was cloudy again. So anyhoos, pictures finally taken and here they are, the first is a Female Dwarven Warrior, not too sure who sculpted her: and the next one is Kylie Darkwalker, a Wild Elf Thief, sculptor also unknown: I like both figures, both pretty fun. I like them especially because they are Ral Partha/Iron Wind Metals figures, but I think sculpted much later in the company's history. I'm guessing latter nineties, but no way to be sure without asking. I'm a bit puzzled by my choice of colors for the elf. I figured wild elf, and though kind of woodsy elf, with brown skin (base code was Reaper's shield brown), and her top is green, but then she has those funky purple pants. She kind of reminds me if I harken back to the days of an old Olivia Newton John video, Let's Get Physical, or something like that where she has a green top and I think pinky/purply spandex pants. I actually just went to look at a picture and my memory was a bit faulty, it was a bright blue top and pink sweatpants. In any case, hope these provide moments of visual pleasure and simulation, until the next chunk of minis!

Here's the bones version of the colossal skeleton I painted up for the RCL large group challenge. I haven't had a ton of time to paint lately, so this is a bit of a rush job and I may go back and do some touch ups at a later date (I always say that, but rarely do it). But I like it regardless and so I thought I'd show it off here. I was a bit dismayed when I got it seeing as how bendy the original bones material is and was a little worried of it holding up under its own weight. But once I started getting it glued down I realized it isn't heavy enough to have the droopiness problems some of the other bones models have. The bendiness worked well though as I ended up wanting him in a more bent over pose and that was fairly easy to achieve with this figure. The small gravestones on the base are from Hammerlot games out of Spain. Which seems like a pretty fun company with some great horror related stuff. I'm going to get some mean looks from my players when I throw this down on the table among the existing hordes of skeletons I already have ready to go! Cheers all and thanks for looking!

Hello everyone! Here are some pictures of weapon displays I made. I used Inventor and Blender to design and texture these tables and display, and printed them with my Elegoo printer. The weapons are from Reaper Miniatures packs 2 and 3.
