A quick paint while trying to base a semi realistic poison pattern on the carapaces... I think I should probably hit it with some gloss sealer to help it pop.

Here's a quick one I did. Randomly went into the box of Bones (KS I) and pulled these out. Pretty simple paint job. First off, 9064 Brown Liner as both primer and base color. Next, 913 Forest Green, 9134 Clotted Red, 9050 Antique Gold, 9126 Gunmetal Blue, and 9280 Nightmare Black were all used to paint individual beetles. Afterwards, I probably would have stuck with just the red and gold. Those looked the best on the base color.

Last weekend I GM'd the Pathfinder module Risen From the Sands for Free RPG Day at my FLGS. I used it as an excuse to move a few minis onto the completed list, because I'm in the kickstarter wave I-forgot-what-number but November is coming soon and oh em gee now I'm really starting to panic! I did not do my usual WIP, because time was of the essence. They got finished over the course of two days - about 10 hours spread over all three. 77130 Bones Beetle Swarm: Want to know how to make a group of seasoned adventurers cry and pee their pants? Throw a swarm at them! 77144 Bones Mummy: I was SO DONE with linen bandages after about 45 minutes of work... and he probably took another hour at least after that to bring it to an acceptable level. Good thing I got the Kickstarter and not the 3-pack retail version! 77145 Mummy Captain: I present to you the Pharaoh of Sphinxes! He's super evil. Closeup: I'm happy with what I was able to do in such a short (for me) amount of time. Thanks for looking, comments and critique always welcome!
