For whatever reason, I recently felt like painting this lovely lady up (her color scheme was somewhat inspired by the monster manual sea hag art). These bulk models are usually pretty light on sculpted details, but this gal had almost NO definition (her arms, especially, were like Muppet limbs). I took it as an opportunity to practice creating definition solely with paint effects. I think it worked out fairly well in the upper body...I'm definitely not as happy with the legs. But, I've got three more copies of this model. I'm sure I'll take another crack at her at some point.

Really happy with the way this one turned out. I used her a while back as a Halfling necromancer in a campaign that sort of fizzled out. I feel like she'd also work as a gnome (and as a warlock).

Another one from that Path Miniatures bulk lot. Overall, I like his design (I could have done without the glasses, though). My buddy used this mini to play a bard a while back. The character's background was that he was a smuggler. So...I painted him up in the clothing of the most famous smuggler I know of 🙂

"Born with an innate love of music, (stringed instruments, in particular), Gunnar spent his formative years aspiring to be the greatest bard the realm had ever seen. Sadly, his Dwarven heritage left him with thick, stubby fingers that were more suitable for crafting and battle than they were for making music. For years, Gunnar was told to forget his dream of plucking strings and focus instead on the joy of metalwork or the fury of combat. But few things are more tenacious than a determined dwarf with a dream. Always one to keep his ears open, Gunnar soon heard rumors of a mystical instrument that could be expertly wielded by anyone brave and lucky enough to find it. After years of searching and struggling, Gunnar was finally rewarded with the object of his quest high above a misty mountain. Now, he churns out an endless stream of heavy metal to amp up his companions in battle and terrify their enemies!" I got this set of bulk minis from Path Miniatures on Amazon (it's a great set, btw). It contained four identical dwarf clerics with warhammers. It's a great sculpt, but certainly not the kind of thing I needed four of. One had a hammer that was too warped to reshape, so I carefully cut it away with the plan to add some other dwarf-like weapon at some point. THEN, I got this Starlink figure at Dollar Tree (named "Razor Lemay"). She had an electric guitar strapped to her back, which inspired me. I cut it off, was pleased to find that it fit nicely in the dwarf's hands, and Gunnar Thunderaxe was born! I also added some spikes to his armor to make him more metal. Enjoy!
