The Brass Bull. out of the Bully for you subset in the Bones 2 core set.

This is a not-Gorgon from D&D. I do not know why Gygax would call this a Gorgon, since it really has nothing to do with the Gorgon sisters from Greek myth. But what it is, is a massive metal bullock that has a petrifying green gas breath attack.

Even though the Gorgon is described as iron, in that it can be rusty, I did it in bronzey brassey colours.  I gave it a bit of green around the muzzle to look like some residue from it's halitosis.

If it bleeds, it can die *CLANG!* ...uh oh.

 

This was painted for an easy and quick finish. Starting with black undercoat, I drybrushed it heavily with Vallejo Tinny Tin, then lighter with Scalecolor Necro Gold, and more lighter with Vallejo Model Color Brass. A bit of Army Painter Shining Silver for the sharp bits on the horns and hooves, and very light highlighting here and there. All done with drybrushing. No washes, layering, wet blending or any other fancy-schmancy techniques used.

A bit of thin greenish leftovers from my palette around the muzzle.  The eyes were in Vallejo Light Turquoise and some other blue mixed with white.

The base is a 80x55mm bespoke 3D printed lipped oval, a few tufts and some of my new autumnal flockmix, and hey presto!

      "Bring Out Your Dead!"
      I envision this as a wandering band who collects the dead. Sometimes they need to make ther cargo dead first. Being death warmed over themselves, they do not know what else to do with their unlives.

      Maledrakh's Bones 4 core set #95 Female Elf Barbarian
      By Maledrakh
      The chibi smallworld minis are all based on existing normal minis in the Reaper lines. I recognized five of them from the minis I have from earlier Bones kickstarters, but not Arnise the female barbarian elf that I painted the other day.
      The reason being that the original was included in the Bones 4 core set. An older metal mini being redone into Bones material it seems.

      So I painted her in a similar scheme.
       

      The metal version is called Arnise, Elven Sergeant from the Warlord line, and represents the Sergeant of Almirithil's frenzied half-elven berserkers in the Warlord lore.
       

      Why hello there, you remind me of someone I once knew...

      Maledrakh's B4core #5 Barbarian (pinhead)
      By Maledrakh
      Plonking away a the Bones 4 core set, this is number 5:
       
       
      I am not a number! I am a free man!
       
       
      The metal version of this is called Ankoa, Barbarian Hero.
       
      He has a really small head compared to most of the other minis. I expect he is not too bright. Probably not destined to bear the jeweled crown of Aquilonia upon a troubled brow.
       

      There's a new playah in town! Come get some!
