A lot of stuff in progress... very little finished!
A lot of legacy stuff that I discovered loose and was too OCD to skip.
The closest thing to finished in this batch is this Rackham mini. I really love this line of, sadly, extinct miniatures. I'm not sure what it's supposed to be ... a gorgon... or a vampire... I painted it to use either way in a truly willful display of indecision!
This model was partially painted with the skin a dark metallic gloss green and enamel blue boots. I kept the original color scheme and adjusted shades and textures to suit my taste... primarily lighten the oppressive skin, making it ... not... metallic, and not gloss... same with the boots.... still blue but a different shade and texture. the rest was an experiment in a quick, translucent nightgown. Based to fit in with an old undead army of mine and added to the troop tray.
Next up are some legacy Skaven Poison Wind Globadiers. These were also acquired from a friend and were painted in very bright, almost glow in the dark, colors in gloss enamels. We've been playing a bit of Mordheim on the computer and the Globadiers are the Bevie! favorites!.
All I did here was paint in some ropes, repaint all the base colors to get rid of the gloss finish drop a wash or two on them and weather up the air tanks a bit. They are still a WiP but are close to finished. I did leave the clobes exactly as originally painted though... the original painter did a really good job with them!
Onward into legacy mini land! Krell, a model I've never really liked... and likely farmed his banner-pole out for a conversion some years ago, returns in all his chaotic, skeletal, glory! He's not yet based and a replacement banner-pole is being kit bashed together. Always fun to have an undead chaos warrior around.
Early days on the only male character model for Raging Heroes TGG1 Kickstarter. Aleksandr Kurganova, patriarch of the Kurganova clan and commander of the KST.
I got this model in metal and its huge, heavy and beautiful! So far its just the cloak and the basic armor being worked but he'll wind up rapidly as the cloak is the majority of the mini.
Some WiP views of Arushka. She's from Raging Heroes and is a KST Yaga. I refer to her variously as "The Wind Witch", "The Angel of Victory", "The Mad Winds of Despair", or "Aleksandr's Fury""
She'll be an elemental specialists with Air, or Wind magic and is a bit touched. All magic is perilous to health and spirit but riding the winds is, of the elemental magics, the most perilous to the mind.. Arushka pays the price!
The model is in resin and is a bit flexible so I may need to stiffen the join at the base a bit... or maybe not! The flex seems to act as a shock asorber so I may just let it ride.
Last up today is the lower half of Baba Yaga. She's the Crone, Earthmother, and Wolf Lord of the KST. Model in metal for strength in the pose.
There is also a whole pile of rats adventurers and villains from the Reaper Bones I Kickstarter and a handful of legacy skaven also being processed. I also got a Tabletop World Townhouse and a Mantic Abyssal Dwarf Iron Caster on Dread Abyssal primed up and in the queue.
Now if only I could find some packages od 20mm and 25mm square bases,,, hmmm...
Cheers!
The cloak on Aleksandr Kurganova....wow...just wow. That model already looks incredible! Looking forward to your work on that one!
ReplyDeleteThanks Greg! That model is really something... Its on a 40mm base so termie sized. I guess it would have to be as the only male character in the series! As pictured the cloak is about 8 layers in reds so its getting a good, rich, blood color.
