Blood War - An Ongoing Painting Project Time to start another WIP to keep track of my growing armies of fiends. Unlike my other two WIPs, Frostrun and Dark Tide, this one does not have a D&D campaign attached to it. Though the project did start because of a game. My players had been facing a threat of the barriers between worlds collapsing. This of course lead to demons and devils spilling into their world, and eventually lead to them traveling to the lower planes. We had nearly wrapped up that plot point before in-person games had to be put on hold. And though I likely have enough minis to get me through that arc, I love how the groups have been shaping up, and I'm now motivated to continue to expand the respective armies. The Blood War In D&D lore, the Blood War is an endless turf war between the Devils of the Nine Hells, and the Demons of the Abyss. There's a bunch of extra fluff in there, but most of it is kind of complicated and, in my opinion, uninteresting. At this point all that I care about it painting up some minis to represent at least 1 of each various type of Demon and Devil. And if I still have steam after that I can look into the neutral Yugoloths. The Devils Up first we have the Devils. I' like the bases on these guys best. I definitely prefer some of the warmer red tones better than the dark ones, and the lava bases are a nice touch to break up the red as well. So far we have the following: Imps - (Nolzur's) Hell Hounds - (44100) Legion Devils - (77065, 89039) And a sneak peak of the following: Blue Abishai Chain Devils The Demons The demons here have a colder color palette. I tried keeping to shades of blue, green, and purple. I might try to brainstorm some more interesting basing options, but for now the purple earth is enough to differentiate and unite them. So far we have the following: Quasits - (77335 and Nolzur's) Bulezau - (77680) Barlgura - (77260) And a sneak peak of the following: Chasme Balor I've got a handful of Demons primed and waiting for paint as well. This project will be ongoing, likely between other projects. But it will be fun to see their numbers increase.

Every Infernal Army needs its footsoldiers. Today I have Legion Devils, or Merregon as they are known in 5E. There's a lot of variation in lore with these guys between editions, so it really opened up the door for interpreting them how I wished. So here's a handful of Legion Devils. Not the most impressive of paintjobs, but they work for filling out a horde. I am interested in revisiting them with my more recent TMM painting technique, so maybe I'll add to their ranks soon. More Photos Below Spoiler: I really like reinterpreting the creatures that exist in D&D lore. I have all of the models, and more that I want, and it's nice finding ways to utilize the ones I didn't have a use for. I also love seeing a group of cohesive minis coming together. What else does my infernal army need?

Who let the dogs out (of hell)? Hi everyone. Back again with some infernal pooches. These are the Hell hounds from the Bones 4 Fan Favorites Expansion. They were fun and challenging. All those glowing lava details were a pain. I think I managed to get them to turn out alright though. Also had fun with the lava bases. More Photos of the Hell Hounds beneath the spoiler: In all, I like these guys. Their bases were a lot of fun and really pop from a lot of my other minis. I'll be posting more of my infernal collection soon, but figured these were a great place to start. Which Hound turned out best?

Am I the only person that say this when I looked at this mini?

Straight from the depths of hell, it's.........Devil Girl, Supervillain! (cue scary music!) For a change, instead of painting the eyes looking straight on, I painted them so that she was looking to the right as if she just spied a do-gooding superhero & was about to lob a fireball in their direction. The base was created using the Basius "Dungeon" stamp with the river part painted up as lava - I imagined that wherever she walked, the ground morphed into fiery molten goodness. Thanks for looking, comments & criticisms are always welcome.

Couple more demons for my Wrath of the Righteous campaign. This time its a succubus and the innocent new girl in town, Mary Lith. Bases are chaos bases from a recent CMON kickstarter. The marilith is based on a coral snake pattern and the succubus is based on a naked chick. Thanks! Thanks to carnacki for filling me in on the nudity policy which i should have read. The Following links contain nudity (though I dont know why a shirtless man is less offensive than a shirtless woman) Succubus http://i61.tinypic.com/142zdoh.jpg http://i62.tinypic.com/okd8vo.jpg http://tinypic.com/m/j5d0df/4 Marilith http://tinypic.com/m/j5d0dg/4 http://tinypic.com/m/j5d0di/4 http://tinypic.com/m/j5d0dk/4

Some more fun

Another Demon. So many demons.

Here is the Bones Master List 'Let's Paint Reaper Bones!!!!!' of all WIP of the Bones Miniatures. Ok, he is mostly done, I needto make again matt varnish on him. Still little shiny.

I am new to all of this. Reaper site, painting, basing....but it is a lot of fun so far. :) It is something I wanted to do since I was a kid, but never really understood how. I was petrified of ever starting again. I remember when I had gobbed model paint all over the grenadier figures my Pop got me. This seems to be a step up from those days. Also, I don't plan on doing eyes, I probably could, but I honestly don't care for the look of them on minis. Just a personal preference. I hope you enjoy my work as I have enjoyed everybody elses on here. :)
