Welcoming Bones 2! Hordelings, Brass Bull, and Zombies

[Aard_Rinn]

So a neat thing happened to me on my way back from classes today...

 

What was it? Oh, nothing major...

 

just my BONES II, motherhuggers!

 

See?

 

 

It was full of lovelies inside, including this, which I am framing:

 

 

Cool, right?

 

So what's an Aard to do? Well, even before looking at it all, I wanted to paint! So, I ripped open one of my cores and one each of the expansions and chose what I wanted to start with...

 

From Expansion One!

 

 

I liked these guys (and the zombies) so much that I tore into my second expansion to get at the rest! More needed, deffo! I just did three layers - dark red, light red, and wash - but they're just for gaming, so no biggy... added nice blue eyes and teeth, and some pointy hooves! Gotta come up with a way to base these... might go for the D&D prepaint method of the plain black disc, tho...

 

Speaking of zombies...

 

 

The remaining two are done as well, but have fallen behind my desk and I'm too sore to get them out! Still, for speedy things they came out fine. I was waiting to blood them up until I decided if I liked it, but I think I do... it adds something, IMO...

 

Last but not least, my favorite of the night...

 

 

 

 

The Brass Bull! Super quick paint job (brown, gold, light gold) with a matte dark brown for horns and hooves. Took like a half hour, mainly due to it's size, but came out looking the best of the lot... This figure's not hard at all. I'll do the next one silver, I think, but I'll probably wind up with a fleet of these, too... they have to be in pairs, see, and I want an underwater one... and a lava cow'd be neat... maybe add wings?

 

Anyways, nothing but speedpaints tonight. I was tired and lazy... I'll open things up and see what's around tomorrow. I'm thinking giants?

Geez girl, you keep up that pace you'll have them all painted before all the pledges are sent. :-p

 

That bull is pretty sweet tho

[Lidless Eye]

Very nice.

 

You did the Brass Bull in a near identical scheme to me!  All he needs is grey tile and red eyes/tail.

[smokingwreckage]

I so want.

 

Want, want, want.

Mother huggers! I need to use that because my 2 year old says everything I do!

 

Very cool and I love the autographs! Great idea painting the bull!

[seej]

Why, yes. I do hug my mother. How did you know?

 

The hordelings are awesome. Sadly, I did not pick up that Expansion set, but they will be one of the first things on my list once they hit retail.

Great paint jobs!

I like them all, but the bull is very cool. 

 

The brass bull is one of my favorite Reaper minis. I don't post my stuff much. No, reason why, I just don't. But, one of the few Show Off post's I have is of 3 brass bulls. Mine were all in a series of tarnish and patina, but your shiny bull has inspired me to buy a couple more and make a really polished one. I'll have to dig that post out and compare them to your polished bull, before I paint the new ones.

Lot of notice for motherhuggers, huh? Yeah, I'm pretty much the Samuel L Jackson of not swearing in front of children... :D

 

Thanks~!
