Here's another group fresh off the paint table, a grouping of naughty nasty Dwarfs from Ganesha Games "Advanced Song of Blades & Heroes: Axe and Brimstone" Kickstarter. I've painted them in gray skin tones, that way they can double up as Duergar, or be used as Warhammer Chaos Dwarves who are a bit far into the Curse of Stone. The whole horde: A Screaming Face Axeman: His buddy, the Glaiveman: A converted Champion, using the Possessed Champion body, Chaos Marauder Shield, a Marauder Horseman head, an axe off a Chaos Cultist Champion, and a sculpted cloak to cover up a gap, and also it was the same week PETA protested Warhammer. The Hellfire Caster: The Hellchain: The Demonslayer. This guy is actually supposed to be one of the good Dwarves aligned with the Halfling Villagers of the set, but with his demonskull hat, he seems to work as a worshiper as well. The Priestess on Hell-Disk: The Fusilier, dong his best Jawa impersonation:

Returning home from H&R Block, who should I find waiting for me but The Taxman. In this case a miniature Taxman & his Associate painted by our own Darkmeer AND generously sent to me to make life miserable for the Poor Folk in The Blight. Seen here making their rounds : ...Bezhukk of the Infernal Revenue: ...Lt. Smiles: ...down to business: I think, having seen them up close & personal, that Darkmeer has done an OUTSTANDING bit of brushwork & basing that richly deserve a VERY WELL DONE! Thanks MUCHO for the Tax Team, Darkmeer!

This is the model I intend on using for "Rosubian" the sorcerer for my Song of Blades and Heroes warband. He is so much fun, and I'm very happy with him. The basing is liquitex matte medium (for the lava) which was painted, cork and then Golden Blended fibers for the top of the base.

This was sculpted by Admiral over at Chaos Dwarfs online (he's ebaying copies in the event anyone is interested). This is on a 40mm base, and is the "fire" version. The other version is dismembering a goblin (not my thing, but both sets come with the Golem). This was a "speed" paint, taking only about 5 hours, including the glow effect. I could push it further, but I stopped when I thought it looked right to my eye. The base is 40mm using cork with a Happy Seppuku base over it into Procreate. The lava is liquitex matte medium layered until the base texture was less visible. The white dots on the staff and that show up on the arm are not there in real life, not sure what the camera was doing, but otherwise this is exact to real life.

These were a lot of fun, and I have 5 more on deck. The lava/temple bases have been a lot of fun to work through. The first up is Hthark the Unstoppable, from Blood Bowl. he was a lot of fun, and I intend on using him for my "great weapon" version of the bull centaurs. The Bases are a Happy Seppuku base over it into Sculpey, which was broken into shape. The lava is liquitex matte medium layered until the base texture was less visible, then painted. Painted to medium tabletop, with some highlighting. I'm very happy with them. Hthark the Unstoppable

So, in the August painting goals, I noted I had entered 5 miniatures into a contest. In fact, it was the Golden Hat over at Chaos Dwarfs Online (CDO for short). Here are my originals that I entered into the Golden Hat. and back Eventually I'll get better at photography. A multi-year struggle is what it appears to be, although the summer months seem to be more kind to me... These were painted in 2 weeks (normally such work takes a week or so per figure), but I read the contest late and pushed myself to paint faster. I may yet go back and touch them up, but I'll call them mid-low tabletop and be happy right now. C&C welcome, as always.

I'm rather proud of this little set, spent 2 and a half months sculpting it in my spare time. Professionally cast in White Metal.

This year the minis I manage to paint will all count towards the resolutionary challenge. As per the resolutionary painting challenge guidelines, I will post them here, and link in my post in the challenge thread. With the refurbishment of the old house complete and it now up for sale, I have at last some time to paint a miniature or two. It has been more than a month since I touched a brush smaller than two inches wide, and I have come to the conclusion that I utterly detest redacorating houses, especially everything that involves masking tape. So anyway, here goes: Many years ago, I got hold of some of the old school Chaos Dwarfs, from the legendary time when the Chaos Dwarfs were small chaos warriors rather than snaggle-toothed curly-bearded Sumerian look-alikes. This one is a fuse lighter from one of the war machines. Sadly, I do not have any of said war machines. Yet. And he/she/it wears the studded leather stocking that was a hallmark of followers of Slaanesh at the time with pride!

Hi everyone, look at my new work. 28 mm scale, made from magic sculpt. Need a comments))) and vote http://www.coolminiornot.com/381406

Trying to follow guides, and get my stuff into the proper forums, and this guy started in my WIP thread, but really belongs here. I'm not happy with his "overcoat" so that will be sliced and changed. His right hand is also terrible, so that will also be changed, especially since the coat and hand blend together. I am most happy with the "sculpy fire" at the top of his staff.

I've been having a heck of a time finding a wall-street-esque bull out there. Sure, gorgons and mechanical bulls and standard lifestock abound, but I want something that looks menacing and charging, so I set to sculpting my own, here's the progress thus far. Note: The "core" is white sculpy, with the exterior being Greenstuff or Greenstuff+sculpy, mostly to bulk it out. I'm considering removing the front left leg, as it doesn't feel like it belings, but all four other legs feel pretty good.
