Popular Post Thoramel Posted April 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2020 (edited) So I've been socially isolating since March 12th at this point. With working from home and all my normal events, vacations and activities canceled I've had a lot of extra time on my hands. Some of that has been filled wit speed painting through my backlog of figures. I realized recently that, except for the occasional post on the Show Off thread, many of these will never be seen by anyone but me. Especially since my gaming group has gone on hiatus while we wait this thing out. Well that seemed like a shame. And since most of these are just quickly painted, and I don't want to load up the Show Off page with my base, wash and quick detail jobs I thought putting a running log of what I'eve finished or am working on would fit in well on this thread. So here are all the minis I've both started and finished since lock down began a month and a half ago... I had no idea where I was going with this and I'm not entirely sure where I ended up. Second from the left stole my mom's haircut from the 70's and 80's. Let me sing you the song of my people. Not sure what breed this was supposed to be, but foxhound seemed about right. An Entling in a little glade from one of the familiar packs. Bad photo, but there's a little water feature in there. Yeah, this was fun but will likely never have a reason to hit the table. This is currently fighting a fat plastic unicorn on my wife's work from home desk. Iron Wind Metals, old FASA/Ral Partha troopers of some sort. It's going to get weird. Dum-dum. Dum-dum... Dumdumdumdumdumdum Craft Paint Challenge. I've got a few more on the table and I'll post them when they're done. And maybe I'll even occasionally post a WIP shot of some of the bigger stuff I'm working on. Edited April 29, 2020 by Thoramel 37 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inarah Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Great looking stuff. Don't be afraid to post in show off. I like the cats, and the group of knights look especially shiny and bad-elf. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitterwolf Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Awesome work! There is a lot of great stuff in there, well painted. QUESTION! Who makes those Skeletons? Especially the Landsknecht and the one with the fish? Also, great classic Orc in the first pic and those female brigands look the part! The Knight looks to me as if he is in a tournament, the fight has reached the stage where both parties dismounted, the canvas from the tribune behind him is damaged by their attacks. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I do enjoy posting stuff there that I think turned out better than my average. But this portion of the forum just seems more casual and suits my preferences for sharing. That may not sound very clear but I haven't gotten through my first cup of coffee today. 6 hours ago, Glitterwolf said: Who makes those Skeletons? Especially the Landsknecht and the one with the fish? Those are all from Skull and Crown Miniatures: https://www.skullncrown.com/collections/triumph-of-death It was part of their Triumph of Death kickstarter loosely based on the painting of the same name by Pieter Bruegel. I was fortunate enough to see it at the Prado when I was much younger and it is the kind of work that leaves an impression on you. So when this popped up last year I had to get in for a at least a few skeletons. Strangely enough, the armed bunny rabbits are also from them. Also, Here's a Harpy that's been sitting on my shelf of shame for many years. Never could figure out where I wanted to go with it. Last night I got sick of looking at it so I slapped some contrast paint on it and gave it a base and called it done. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigel Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 These are fantastic! I especially like wiz and goblin, the Bruegel skellies, the pet adventurers, and that rioting baker. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to say it's from the Rebellion game series, but I don't know what happened to the packaging or game cards that came with it right now. Finished up a couple more last night. First up is this creepy fungus from the Darkreach expansion in Bones 4. I decided it would make a good approximation of a Bleeding Tooth Fungus. One of my favorite finds when I'm out in the woods. One of my players has this odd phobia about mushrooms and I'm a big believer in exposure therapy. Not necessarily because I think it will do him any good, but I'll get a good laugh from it. And this is from the Chronoscope Expansion from the same kickstarter. I was feeling in the mood to paint something pink. I couldn't help but think of a Terry Pratchett quote while working on this. "Grand Viziers were always scheming megalomaniacs. It was probably in the job description: ‘Are you a devious, plotting, unreliable madman? Ah, good, then you can be my most trusted minister." 20 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoramel Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Knocked out a few more over the weekend. Pact Devil from Bears Head Miniatures. With the names of several of my favorite PCs I've killed that were run by my longest sitting player. I'll send this to him with an appropriate message about where the souls of his characters reside. An old Ral Partha (Iron Wind Metals) Goatman by Julie Guthrie. These guys will probably end up as some sort of low level demons. The other translucent fungus from bones 4. It's morel season around here. 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
