Started painting this when I only had the paints from the Bones 4 kickstarter, but glad reinforcements arrived before I finished. Went with carbon grey base for the shell, then areas of Styx Purple and Tropical blue over that, followed up with clear blue and clear purple, and a glossy varnish to try to give it that iridescent feel. Pretty happy with it.

Snowy, muddy mammoth guy; still need to add some discoloration to the tusks.

I painted up both of the Bones 4 Rules of Hell minis over the past 2 months. Both of them were large enough to mount on 3" bases, so I decided to do something fancy and install LEDs into the base to create a light-up magma effect. To handle the highlights, I decided to try aiming for the illumination coming from below, so I lit up the base, turned off the lights, and took pictures of how the mini was lit up, then painted the figures based on that. I did the male ruler's base first, and learned some things that I did differently in the female's base.

Frost Giant Court - King, Queen, and Guards are from earlier KS (I believe), Rangers are add-ons from Bones 4. C&C welcome. Will post close-ups of rest tomorrow.
