The more I look at this the more I laugh. The lean on this guy looks like he's auditioning for Michael's Smooth Criminal video. Hee heeeee! Ow! I'd found this one while rifling through my pile of shame. Looked fun. The more of these big boys I've done, the more I realize I don't like painting that much space. I like the small guys. As always I'm open to any feedback or improvements to be made.

Even ogres need a chance to stop and think about things. Like which dwarf looks tastiest. I largely tried to follow the color scheme in this fellow’s product page, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out. I think this guys has more skin to paint than all of my other figures combined so far! Many thanks to @ManvsMini, @Wren, @cmorse, and @BLZeebub for their help in resolving a paint chipping issue I posted about in the advice forum!

I tried painting my first bones black figure recently, and I’m running into some paint chipping issues after light handling. I base coated the mini with vallejo black acrylic surface primer, used mostly vallejo model color paints, and then varnished with multiple coats of vallejo polyurethane matte varnish, all of which I’ve used on prior bones models together without issue. (I do have lots of reaper paints too! Just didn’t use them here) You can see the chipping on the ogre’s knucles. I’ve touched up and re-varnished that and about four other high spots maybe three times in the last two days- I really want to just be done!!! Any ideas on what I can do to keep this paint on? Thanks!

New batch of Reaper minis ready to torment (or help?) my players that I just finished this weekend :). Mastema is an old metal mini that I found at a local stare, it was on sale, the mini itself is from 2007 IIRC, one of the horns was broken but I think it adds to the character! Ogre Chieftain from a Bones Black monthly promo (part of Bones 5 Dungeon Dwellers): And finally the Silverhorn Unicorn. Not as pleased with this one as the others, I wish the detail on tail and mane was better and I didn't screw up airbrushing it with all the speckling :P. It is the original soft bones material so only so much you can do with it.
