I’m a bit late, but I finally started back painting late last year. Here’s what I managed to accomplish in 3 months. And a few close-ups of my favorites... Goremaw the Scarlet Worm is over in the Large Mini contest: http://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/73889-2017-annual-contest-single-figure-100mm-reaper-entries/&do=findComment&comment=1669304 A Yeti (77436) in a non-standard coat pattern 77418 Xiao Liu (Painted as a Pathfinder Suli: none of the official artwork shows them as having discernible pupils.) 77511 Xiloxoch, Guardian Naga Gorilla from Bones 3 77232 Mogg, Bugbear Warrior

Finished off my congress of bugbears (murder of bugbears?). Like the last set, had to cut them out of their broccoli then glue them to these wooden 1" squares I have diagonally so they'd sort of almost fit in 1". Skin/fur is a base of russet brown and highlighted with mixing that with blonde shadow. Hair/fur is russet brown mixed with auburn shadow. Anyways, they were all fun and expressive. Thanks for reading!

I managed to throw some paint around and get this guy finished as nameless mook number 3 for an evil overlord with an army. I really like this model, very characterful with plenty of options for conversion, so I may end up getting a couple more down the road. Any comments or advice appreciated.

In the month of September I was able to make headway on painting up the 7 bugbears I'd like to paint. These are a little above tabletop quality as I'm working to refine my glazing technique while still being able to crank out quality work in a more brief timeframe. I wanted each of my bugbears to appear to be of the same species while retaining their own unique skin tone. These three I finished in September. To me, Mogg has a rather "refined" or noble quality to him. I opted to have his colors reflect that, and instead of doing the white-out eyes of the other bugbears, I wanted to give him pin-pricks of white in an effort to reflect higher than average intelligence for a bugbear. Kegg on the other hand appears to be an enraged hunter, and his eyes reflect that more. The last bugbear is a metal Reaper figure I picked up as part of a pack. His flail was missing so I took the opportunity to use one of the axes I have from a Reaper weapons pack to swap it out. I like the result. All of these were painted with my Reaper round #1 brush using MSP. All lighting, shadows and other effects are painted and not tricks of photography. The front and back of Kegg's shield exemplify what I'm working toward.

For the second mini of off the shelf of shame I have another bugbear. Mogg was the same as Rugg, I got tired of painting bugbears and saved him as a test subject. His shield was a test for the Scalecolor wood paint set. Mogg isn't actually sealed yet, but I had the camera out so I went ahead posted him
