Greetings Terrans, got a couple more troops destined to share with you this week – a Pirate Queen and her half-Ogre Bos’n:

No idea where these minis are from, but they really are lovely… The big guy in particular made me thing of Tormund Gaintsbane from GoT, so the red hair was a no-brainer. I really think they make a fantastic pair – in fact, in my mind they are step-siblings, so the pistol-wielding badass got red hair as well!

I really enjoyed painting these two, and I’m certainly getting the feel of the brushes again. As an added bonus, these two actually complete the pirate 3rd of the warband:

I reckon they are a wonderfully eclectic bunch of ne’er-do-wells, but hopefully there are enough common tones and colours to tie them all together as a group.

Anyway, that’s it for this update – just the leader of the warband to finish!

Greetings Terrans, I’ve been chipping away at the 20-strong warband for The Temple of the Golden Frog BOYL game & have a couple more Pirate/merc types to share today. These two are from the ‘Time Warped Wizards range from Foundry, (though clearly not wizards themselves):

They make a fun pair, got some Old World Kislev vibes, or possibly Araby? Either way, I think they work as part of an eclectic mercenary band. Here they are with some of their compadres, hopefully with enough similarities to make them look a bit cohesive:

Painting was pretty straight forward – I pushed it a bit with the stripes, and I found the faces to be fiddly, but it feels like I’m getting back into the hang of things with the brushwork. I’ve got a couple more fighters to paint up, then the leader – feels good to be back in the groove!

Greetings Terrans, welcome back for another lil’ peek into the state of my hobby. First up, I got another couple of fighters done for my upcoming trip to Lustria – fuck knows what they are or where they came from, (comment below if you know!), but they turned up during my lead pile dredge and I thought they could be a good fit as a pirate/merc type (spear), and a native guide type (club):

Even though they have nothing in common, I do think they work bizarrely well as a pair! I went pretty basic on the paint job, still getting my eye in so to speak, but I am pleased with the blending, especially on the skin tone for the club guy.

I also made & painted some weird attacky plants for a Rangers of Shadow Deep campaign that I’m playing through. Like all Joseph McCullough games, the bestiary is mini agnostic, so these homemade jobbies are perfect. The small ones are proxies for ‘Darkroot Vines’, while the bigger one is a ‘Darkroot Plant’:

They were fun to make, and are really just a load of GreenStuff over some dried out vine tendrils I had stored away (y’know, just in case). I built up a bit of detail over a few sessions – fiddly, but certainly nothing complicated or difficult, and I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out. Some washy/blendy Contrast shenanigans were all they needed to get them ready for action.

So that’s it for another post – more Lustrian adventurers to follow.
