Painted Miniatures, Terrain & Dungeon Accessories
I finished the other half of a large commission and I had a ton of fun painting all the quirky ghosts, heroes and skeletons! There a many conversions amongst the pieces and a few surprises to paint :)
It was a fun commission and it is always nice to paint something converted and unique :)
I just finished this commission for a friend of mine! Lots of characterful miniatures and some great zombie conversions! There are so many exciting miniatures in this commission that I had to split it in two. So this is just the first half! Still working on some ghosts and monsters.
I got to try a few new paint combinations including the blonde hair of some of the ladies. I ended up liking the hair of the Bretonnian Sorceress the most, where I used Golden Skin Shadow, thinned down Light Tone Shade, Golden skin and Blonde Highlight.
Here is a group picture with all the miniatures included!
Despite the scorching heat this summer (We had 34 degrees last week, along with most of Europe) I managed to finally finish a commission for a Spanish friend! There is always a fun challenge ahead when doing commissions and this was no exception! Lots of customized minis!
A Dark elf sorceress an undead hero and a group of mummies all ready to rumble in the dungeon!
Disgusting zombies and fierce skeletons!
Here is the whole crew ready to take on brave adventurers! Again, really fun to paint, albeit quite difficult when painting in a studio without air condition, making the paints dry up before they hit the mini!
Finally finished painting all the Mordheim Zombies!
I was lucky enough to find an original set a few years ago, but I only painted a couple of them, before I put the rest in the box of shame (unpainted, based and primed minis) We even made custom bases for them, but for some reason I didn’t finish the miniatures.
Most of the zombies have living counterparts except a few of them (a dwarf and a Reiklander i presume) I finished the last 3 in an evening, so not exactly a super detail job! But they ended up quite good, and I used some of the blood techniques from the Zombicide minis.
My husband chose the Autumn theme for the bases and painted + based them with tufts and leaves, while I painted the miniatures.
From left to right: Witch Hunter Captain, Reiklander, Sister of Sigmar and Marienburger!
And the last batch! From left to right: Witch Hunter Hound, Elf Ranger (Hired swords) and Dwarf Treasure Hunter. The Dwarf is particular nasty due to his eyeball dangling from his empty eye socket!
I chose to paint them as “recently deceased” instead of a classic greenish colour, as I believe it makes them a whole lot creepier!
I am currently working on a few miniatures for our Mordheim Campaign. I have assembled 2 Ogre Bodyguards, a Pit Fighter and a Troll Slayer for me and my friends to use during games. All of them in plastic as lending out precious metal miniatures is a bit painful when having an apartment full of people, where minatures on the floor is a common sight. This is the guy from the Plague Cart which I chose not to use for my “The Dead” scenery theme.
Used a black and blue “spectral” colour theme mixed with very pale skin, as I used the miniature for experimenting with colours :-)
This is the Ostlander # 2 Miniature I finished quite a while ago, but thought he deserved to be included in the post :-)
The beard ended up really nice I think :-) still missing a few of the miniatures from the set, though.
I finished this commission just before I went on vacation (still am while sitting by my laptop!) And I thought I’d share it!
I really loved painting those critters so I went straight to Ebay and bought a pack of them for myself :-D It was really fun painting in bright colours for a change and they ended up great (I hope my customer thinks so too :’-)
I already have the Banshee miniature myself, but I wanted to paint her more creepy this time for commission and she ended up exactly that: Creepy!
The old Sauron miniature is meant to be more of an undead lord sort of guy instead of the classic Sauron. So I had to work around that and come up with a different colour theme (dark red and rusty) and I ended up with a kind of Lich King pair of eyes. He looks very impressive in person and he is a pretty big guy!
I also painted a very cool Dark Elf Assassin miniature to look like a human thief with freehand work and details, but the pictures ended up blurry so he is only featured on the overall picture..
Ooh and the small Chimera ended up a lot better than I anticipated, which reminds me that I just finished assembling the Banebeasts Chimera which I have coveted for years now, and thanks to commission I could now afford it! <3
We had to use some skeletons for an upcoming WFRP session, I thought it would be funny to convert some Games Workshop skeletons to appear like some dead empire soldiers. So I added some helmets and stuff for several of them.
It might be more fun to do with Zombies – Something I’ll consider for the future.
Below you can see two pictures of all the 6 skeletons I made and painted. I’ll probably be making a few more soon, there’s always room for more skeletons :-)
Three more Mordheim miniatures done for my Mordheim Painting Progress – Two Undead Vampires & the Undead Necromancer. I painted the vampires pretty traditionally with red and black clothing, one of them ended up a lot more pale than the other, not sure which of the skin colors I prefer.
As for the Necromancer, I actually tried to paint him as neutral as possible as I thought he could make a decent sort of Hedge Wizard/Morr Priest in WFRP, so I avoided too many black colors plus I didn’t try to make him look evil.
17 miniatures done, wohoo! I do have a couple more done that I just need pictures of.
I just finished up two more Mordheim miniatures for my collection: The undead dregs. I painted their skin quite pale as I figured they run around with the undead all day, so their appearance is probably affected by that. There’s not a whole lot of extra details on the dregs, so they didn’t take me too long to paint. I’ve highlighted their facial features as much as possible to let their apathetic expressions shine through.
