Picture them in your head. Crazy, evil cultists. Secret meetings, twisted plots, midnight masses in service of the unthinkable. Got it? What color are their robes? I'm about to start painting a group of cultists and I'm having trouble deciding on a color. I don't want the color to be indicative of their allegiance, I want them to be able to stand in for any group of evil cultists. So I want to put it to the Forumites: What color says, "that's an evil cultist," without having it say, "That's a cultist of (blank)?" What color robes do you wear when you worship your dark Deity of choice? What color looks great, even if it covers 90% of the miniature?

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.
