More Iron Guts and a Reshot of the Wraith

The one in the middle is a standard 'bull' while the one on left and right are iron guts. I'm almost sad that I don't have a lot of them left to finish off. They were a nice 'boost' in terms of output.
And someone wanted an alternative shot of the ring wraith. Have to do some touch ups and more sealant already dang nab it.

GW, GW and something Wyrd

Fist up is an iron guts for my Ogre Kingdoms army. I have a few more of these suckers left then I can start to work on the gnoblars. This female is from Wyrd. I've essentially had her done all year and couldn't figure out what more I wanted to do with her. The hair has a gloss coat on it.

And... one of the Nazgul. I hope to buy all of them one day. There's just something about the way Games Workshop did these guys up that's awesome. Don't get me wrong, they're muy expensive but it's a rare treat for me to splurge on a GW figure as opposed to say, a weird Avatar of War figure or an Andreas figure that I'll be too nervous too paint.

Another Miscellania from Ral Partha to GW

These two are classic Ral Partha figures. The first is stage three of the old three stage cleric, the second is stage three of the old three stage magic user. I went for a lot of different whites on the wizard as its always reminded me of good old Gandalf. The cleric on the other hand, I painted to go with the old Crusaders from Reaper's Warlords game.
I mentioned before that I've done the block work on a lot of my ogres. Here's four more. I've got several more still in the pipeline in various stages, hopefully to be finished soon.
This guy looks goofy. He's actually quite huge though. Larger than the ogres above. He's glossy because I had to throw a coat or protection on him because the fur on the head keep coming off so I gave him a quick gloss coat. I'll spray him down latter though. I used a saw to take him off the original base and threw some cork under his foot and put him on a 'premium' rounded base.


Okay, dude on the far left is a Lance and Laser bandit I believe. Next up Kobold King I've had since that old Paizo adventure came out and finally decided to finish him. Next up some Dream Blade mini that I'm going to call a decadent naga, a creature whose flesh and bones warp due to the perversion of cannablism. Great loss of almost all magical ability but the creatures become brutes in combat! Lastly, another goat man, the one missing from my last batch. A ton more to go and lately I'm just trying to 'finish' em to get them off the painting table.

#15: Who?



Right about now, you're going "Who the heck is that?" Santa Claus, bitches. Now shut up, the S-man has some work to do.

I've been too quiet of late

Apologies for dropping off the map, folks.

I started off well, and then knew that the summer would see me with no time for painting. Given that, I wasn't worried when my pace dropped at first. At the tail end of summer/early autumn though, Georgia got some good solid rain and flooding. This ended up affecting my home, and resulted in my being tied up with home repair for the last 2+ months or so.

I've now finally got the house pretty well put back together and can start looking at mini's again. It's a real joy to have the luxury of painting for fun again, but I have to be realistic that I'm unlikely to reach my goal of 52 mini's in the year. Possible, but unlikely.

That said, tonight I sat down and finished 5 mini's that have been languishing for months. I'll try to get some pictures up shortly.
