I've been waiting quite a while to be able to post this project in public but had to wait as he was a Christmas present for Ub3r (though not the model he was expecting! Buwahahahahaha!).  He's Ulric the Defiler from Mierce Miniatures.  He was really a pleasure to paint and I'm thrilled with how he and his base turned out.  I feel like I leveled up a little on skin tones (well Caucasian skin tone anyway) and the base was my first real attempt to make something display quality.  My favorite bases are ones that are full of little details that catch the eye, but don't detract from the main model.  I used roots saved from when I was weeding the flower garden in front of the house that had been hung in the garage to dry.  I also used dirt for the earth, something I've done twice now and really like.  This is my first time using laser cut paper plants.  Oh, this is also the first barbarian I've ever painted.   Comments, helpful criticisms, and questions are all welcome!

Very cool!!

 

Also, nice natural camouflage on the Tyranid Ripper; I didn't notice him at first.

 

I've had him for a really long time and have been waiting to use him in something like this.  Ironically, I also painted a tiny rat and then promptly lost him somewhere on my painting desk.  :blink:

      Beastmen
      By Nameless
      My first mini painted in 2017. Actually, it's another long time WIP of mine, I'm happy to see it finished.   The snakeman is from Mierce Miniatures and it surely has a weird name, Sss'ths'pfff or something like that (seriously though, it's Vilthiss, Champion of Khthon). Yes, I know it has no proper base, but that's beacause it will be (hopefully) part of a bigger project under the working title of Beastmen of Dark Forest.     ​Oh, if the forum made the pic too small, try my FB page (link in the signature), like and share ;)

      ReaperCon 2018 Diorama????

      So....
       
      Back when I first joined the forums, I found a thread about a certain Goblin painting a limited edition Ral Partha figure that I happened to own, but had been sitting in a box for 15-20 years due to the 'I'm not good enough' syndrome....
       
      Well I decided that I Was Good Enough and set to work, as chronicled by this
      so as at the time of being a noob arround here, I was very encouraged by the multiple responses that I got....
      such as:

      02766: Arrius the Black, Skeletal Champion (Vegascat rolls the bones again)
      By vegascat
      I finished my current semester of school a few weeks ago and wanted to ease back into painting with something simple and something from my shelf of shame.  I'm not real pleased with the highlights on the cloak, overall I'm happy with him as he ended up in a nice muted tone.  Feedback welcome and wanted.

      Pentacle Base
      By knarthex
      So this is a Cthulhu Wars base that Vegascat sent me, (one of two), that I was painting as a piece of scatter terrain...
      It was supposed to be something easy and quick to fiddle with while other things were drying....
      But like so many of my projects, it kind of grew....

      Thanks for looking!

      Pentacle Base
      By knarthex
      So Vegas Cat sent me 2 of these, and as I am going to paint day tomorrow, I washed and Primed it, as I find that doing things that do not require finesse, helps me to get more done at paint days....
