Finally finished! WIP Thread: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/58230-darksword-ancient-stag/

WIP of my deer from Darksword. I'm painting him up like a Fallow Deer

Last time I was at the local gaming shop, my girlfriend tagged along. She's been looking over my shoulder a lot when I fade off into fantasy-land; and when she found some "cute" miniatures, she decided she wanted to learn how to paint them. So here is the result of the first sessions. Just simple painting mechanics for the table top. I was impressed at least. :) And of course: Showing interest in my nerdy hobbies get her some extra stars. ;) She painted the one on the left. Sort of mimicking what I did on the right.

So I bought some of the animal carcasses from Mega MIniatures. THought they'd be fun and different to paint and could potentially be used in a diorama or game some day They're 28mm, so rather on the large side, though for the smaller animals it's hardly noticeable. However, the buck, doe, and moose are HUGE...so uh...Dire Moose I guess? I used 77094: Trista the White Wolf [WIP] as a size scale in there with them. The cat, boar, fox, coyote, and vultures seem fairly properly sized. The rooster and rabbit are a bit big, but the moose, doe, and buck are just gigantic! Oh well, they're turning out fun to paint The moose had some rather sad nubby antlers, so with green stuff and wire I gave him antler extensions The last picture is P60048B: Fox from Reaper, and I put it next to the dead fox from Mega MInis. They're actually fairly close in size. The sheer size of the large deer compared to the more normal sized critters is boggling haha
