Title: The Modern Fantasy Painting Party (Completed)
Post by: Elk101 on May 02, 2020, 10:32:17 AM
Welcome to the LAF Modern Fantasy Painting Party. This follows on from the Old School Fantasy Painting Party. The idea of the painting clubs is for LAF members to populate a club with 100 newly painted miniatures, one miniature at a time, following the theme in question.

Fantasy is a hugely popular miniatures genre and the Old School Fantasy Painting Party filled up quickly, which is why we split the club into pre-2000 'Old School' figures and 2000 and beyond figures. This will be the 2000 and beyond figure painting party.

We recognise that there may be a grey area where people aren't entirely sure which side of 2000 a figure belongs to, but as long as people are posting in the spirit of the party, we accept that the odd figure may not technically be in the right place!

The usual Painting Club rules apply:

- Any LAF member can take part.
- You take part by posting in this thread, a picture of a single newly painted miniature that fits the theme.
- You can only post one entry within a 24-hour period.
- You can contribute as many miniatures as you like while the painting club is running. But you can’t post more than one per day.
- The subject of your picture must be a single, fully painted and based miniature.
- It can be whatever scale you like up to 40mm.
- It can be a figure on foot, a mounted figure, or a piece of equipment – a cannon or siege piece, for example.
- You can show your miniature on its own, or in a scenic setting.
- The picture can be a single shot of the miniature, or a composite of different views.
- Photoshop manipulation of the image (except for colour / brightness / contrast correction) is not allowed.
- Your picture should be a maximum size of 1000px x 1000px
- The miniature should be newly-painted for the club and not have been previously shown here or elsewhere on the internet.

If participants submit old stuff, that submission will be disqualified and removed.
If you submit more than one miniature in any one day, or multiple miniatures within a picture, that submission will be disqualified and removed.

You can upload the image using the LAF attachment function, or upload it to an image hosting service and link to here.

When you post a picture, please check the number of the entry before yours and then number your entry accordingly.

It would be great if you could title your entry too and perhaps provide some information about the figure such as the manufacturer and / or sculptor if known.

Given the current 'stay at home' situation the club will stay open until 200 contributions have been posted. Then the club is complete.

When you post a picture, you become a member of the club and may add this splendid painting party badge - designed by Westphalia Chris, to your forum signature line.

No. 1 Stone Elemental

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/46/4811-020520184042.jpeg)

Technically it's a 'Large Earth Elemental' from Reaper Miniatures' Bones range sculpted by Kevin Williams. Bones can get bad press, but it's a lovely figure and a pleasure to paint.

That's a top-notch job and no mistake. But I do worry about that sword. I hope it's made of Styrofoam, or he's going to have a tiring time hitting anybody with it.  :)

No.8 - Bear's Head Manticore

Recent model (2020 I think!), old school feel. Painted yesterday, mostly contrast paints again. They've increased my output drastically! I can't get results as good as some of the stunning entries on this thread so far, but as they say, done is better than perfect :) No that's not right  lol Done is better than theoretical and perfect!

Yes this makes two manticores done in the space of a couple of days. I just loved both of them when I saw them. What's next now I've run out of manticores?!

No. 9: Rollo Iron Head, Mierce miniatures norse faction

(http://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/46/93-070520171844.jpeg)

It's amazing what intricate detail modern sculptors manage to get onto their sculpts, perhaps they work with a microscope ... painting won't get easier anyway. But I like that character's face and stance, and at least he looks like he definitely will be able to swing that hammer!  ;)

Thanks :) You might try adding a touch of the complementary color to desaturate your colors a bit if you find them too bright. I used GW Sepia wash for overall depth, some Agrax Earthshade here and there, and highlighted with a vallejo bone or ivory color. Yellow is a challenge as all painters know :)

Title: #19 Artakl, Ghekkotah Clutch Warrior
Post by: Maledrakh on May 11, 2020, 06:57:29 PM
"modern fantasy" makes me think of neon-lit vampires or the kind of books with steely eyed male models (or just their steely ab'ed torsos) on the cover featuring stories about werewolves that happen to be both sensitive lovers and single, a perfect catch for the  female perspective character.

I am happy to see that is not at all what this paint club is about  :D

So here is a thoroughly modern fantasy mini:

Artakl, Ghekkotah Clutch Warden

(https://maledrakh.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/200511-mantic-kings-of-war-forces-of-nature-artakl-ghekkotah-clutch-warrior-5.jpg)

cast in resin by Mantic for the Kings of War summer campaign (was it last year or the year before? Even earlier? 2017! How time flies.) I would wager a pretty penny that it also is a sculpted digitally.
Title: #20 Amazon Warrior
Post by: cahrn on May 12, 2020, 12:32:08 AM
#20 Amazon Warrior

I'll add something to the thread. The miniature is a 32mm Amazon warrior from Bronze Age Miniatures. They're quite fun models to paint. I've got a couple other fantasy miniatures on my desk so I might just sneak in another model before the thread closes. Everything posted so far looks great and I'm excited to see what else is contributed.

Definitely a good decision given the lockdown!

Good to see more great additions. Especially nice to see some relatively 'obscure' minis like that bugbear (which is somewhere in my lead pile too).

No. 21 - Bronze Age Minis rogue

This is sold as a mercenary captain but I painted her up last night to represent my half-elf rogue, while playing her in our Roll20 D&D Ravenloft campaign. Much as I prefer face-to-face, there are advantages to playing remotely!

The 'captain' theme does work somewhat given the character, Evini, aspires to be a pirate captain.

#27: One of the nastier barbarians from the boardgame HATE.  I got the game relatively cheaply, and though I may never play it (it does look neat!), I love the minis.  They're surprisingly good for a boardgame!  And this guy is just...  Grim. 

(Grrr.  Any idea why he's appearing sideways?  He's not sideways on my desktop)

Every day this thread has more unique and well painted miniatures.   Excellent work.
No sooner have you said this, than the next figure posted is a garden gnome standard bearer!

More excellent figures, really enjoying all the contributions here. I loved the old school party and this is just as enjoyable.

Suitably brutal and brutish looking  :-*

Thank you, compadres. This plastic kistbash craft is very rewarding. I re-engineered the mace after your input on the 'raw' model, Richard. I am nota fan of overlarge weapons. I think it looks more realistic like this. Probably still a bastard to wield but I bulked out the torso of this henchman to make him look able to wield it from horseback. I think the steelm parts look to bright, I will probably stain it a bit more and add som subtle splatters.

Anyway, todays miniature...

#36 – Halfling Landsknecht (Westfalia)

(https://leadadventureforum.com/gallery/46/1034-170520182726.jpeg)

Only noticed the other day this club's running. Literally fantastic entries rolling in quickly! So today it's been now or never for me. This tiny chap came in handy. I mean really tiny; he's slightly taller than the diameter of his 20mm base. Even had time left to add a rooster (by Warlord), just for fun.
Still struggling with my photo setup, so colours are somewhat off, but close enough.

Have had this in the pile for awhile so thanks for giving me a good reason to get it done. I did use basing material to help him stand more erect because he had a tendency to fold on the thin legs because of the weight of the upper body. Hope you all like him.  :)

Lots of excellent entries so far!

Question for the group:
Provided I can finish it in time, would it be ok to post a figure that I sculpted and printed myself?  Just wondering because I have a few on the go that fit the theme, but aren't technically manufactured. 

No guarantees I will finish a sculpt, get a good print, and paint it in time; but I'd like to know nonetheless.
Title: Re: The Modern Fantasy Painting Party
Post by: Plynkes on June 06, 2020, 09:33:32 PM
Well if you made it yourself now, rather than before 2000 (don't recall there being many 3D printers around back then), I can't see how it doesn't qualify as a modern fantasy figure.

I think (though I do not speak in any official capacity) any objections would be churlish. I say go for it!

(http://i.imgur.com/Ns56ruH.jpg?1) (https://imgur.com/Ns56ruH)

This 25mm miniature is from Ground Zero Games.Comes with a 'dungeon floor' pattern on the hexagonal base so I stuck it on a washer and carved the stone floor in greenstuff.

I've painted this miniature a few times as a Conan marker for 'Age of Conan' boardgame, this is its first time in black and white.

Thanks, guys.

Just a bit of silly fun. I had this guy in my lead mountain for ages but this painting club gave me the impetus to get him painted.  After doing two of these in fleshtones I knew the next one would be the 'zebra cam' - ideal when trying to infiltrate a cult.

Lots of excellent entries so far!

Question for the group:
Provided I can finish it in time, would it be ok to post a figure that I sculpted and printed myself?  Just wondering because I have a few on the go that fit the theme, but aren't technically manufactured. 

No guarantees I will finish a sculpt, get a good print, and paint it in time; but I'd like to know nonetheless.

As Plynkes says, if it's 2000 or later it's fine.

No.76 - Oathbreaker (Dead of Dunharrow) GW Plastic


'The hour is come at last. Now I go to Pelargir upon Anduin, and ye shall come after me. And when all this land is clean of the servants of Sauron, I will hold the oath fulfilled, and ye shall have peace and depart for ever. For I am Elessar, Isildur's heir of Gondor.'

'Strange and wonderful I thought it that the designs of Mordor should be overthrown by such wraiths of fear and darkness. With its own weapons was it worsted!'



Well, I did it. The first figure I have managed to paint since my medical catastrophe of October 2018. It has been a difficult road, I can tell you. Not especially pleased with how it turned out, but there was a point when I thought I would never be able to paint again. Don't expect I shall ever again reach the heights of my LPL glory days, but it's a start and that is good enough. I'm back! A proper LAFer once more.  :)

Sculpted by the Amazing Kieran Billings, he's so awesome. What a great guy (don't tell him but I'm sleeping with his wife, I think he might be on to me).

Yes, I was never all that keen on Peter Jackson's lurid green tidal wave of ghosts. A tad over the top, visually, for my money. They really are lovely figures, but you have to look past the disgusting sickly colours on the pictures on the box. I bought them to use as Norse Draugr, or wights, or something like that for Of Gods and Mortals, so I wanted them looking a little less ethereal.

Thanks for the comments, guys. This really has been a big deal for me. I feel emotional about it out of all proportion to the scale of the achievement (hehe, painting one damn figure lol).



Nice spider, beefcake! I hope my mother does not see that, she'll have a conniption, and I'll get an email saying "Dylan! There's a spider on the internet! Can you come and put it outside for me?" Luckily I don't think she browses LAF all that much.

thanks man, thats the first time i have tried the effect, I am guessing it would work better on a round or more vertical jewel but I am pleased with how it came out. I found it at Creative Twilight https://creativetwilight.com/ (https://creativetwilight.com/)

I've never actually played Frostgrave, but I have been tempted by some of the figures.

At the end of the first game, at least!

Lovely. Some of those Frostgrave minis really are little gems.

Indeed there are some lovely offerings in there, as well as in the Oathmark range
It is also good to see them in alternate paint schemes too, as the human Oathmark wizard posted earlier in the thread is exactly what I am looking for and had not realised in his 'official' kit. A good few Frostgrave wizards are on my 'to get' list too.
 ;)

Thanks to this Painting Party for showing me a good few things that I was previously oblivious too.

A 3D print from Etsy - I'm not sure of the shop, but it was a very nice print (far nicer than most other 3D stuff I've seen ordered by my friends).  There are several sellers on Etsy for the same sculpt, I think mine was ARC3DCreations or some such.

I hear you on that. I like the Heresy centaur and the rackham character one but a lot of other centaurs look like kitbashes. I think the rearing up pose really makes them look a whole lot better.

He's metal and I think from some of the earlier releases (around 'Two Towers' film). I seem to have a few variations based on this pose too so looks like he was used as a dolly for several Orc captains.

No. 110 The Witch
from the Blood Rage game box


I'm a bit curious about this one. I have the Blood Rage game, but that figure didn't come with it. There was a witch-type figure, but she is much more of a Raquel Welch-in-a-fur-bikini kind of thing (I'm thinking of painting her up for the club, as it happens). Are there different editions with different figures or something? Or maybe it's from one of the expansions?

There was a witch-type figure, but she is much more of a Raquel Welch-in-a-fur-bikini kind of thing (I'm thinking of painting her up for the club, as it happens). Are there different editions with different figures or something? Or maybe it's from one of the expansions?

Dylan, it's from the add-on box "Mystics of Midgard" containing five shaman-like types to add to the clans. Each figure included 2 times. As I don't play the game (just wanted the minis to heap to the pile ... ;D) I could send you a set, if you want ...

That's very kind of you. I fear I must gratefully decline, though. I have far too much stuff to paint as it is, and I'm trying to be a little more disciplined about adding to the lead pile these days. Many thanks for the offer all the same.

He would clearly rather be at home with a pie and a pint.

Potato-cam has messed with his left eye - its a bit clearer irl.

132: Hill Giant, by Conquest Games

   Please excuse the multiple angle photos, hopefully that's allowed (I don't know how to incorporate them into a single photo and I thought the miniature is best enjoyed from different angles). He's a new release, possibly not even on their website yet, and another great addition to Conquest's 'Myths of Albion' range.

Our Garry commands no tanks, other than the water tanks he had the run of when he was a groundsman.  ;) No cricket references then, which is a shame (so I won't make any reference to the launch of SW23) but am looking forward to the first net session of the season tomorrow.

Anyway, enjoying the 'slow burn' aspect to this painting club and getting back into painting a bit now the weather has warmed up and it's staying lighter for longer in the afternoon - roll on daylight savings!

Noice, Muzfish!

Bah! I say more cricket references, until the rest of LAF are so sick of them that they kick the pair of us out.

Of course, being southern hemisphere your season is just getting going, forgot about that. Ours is just about winding down. We aren't usually still playing in October up here, but the Covid delayed everything. It's the county T20 finals this weekend, but the forecast is so bad it may well be decided by a bowl-off against a single stump. Not exactly the most riveting form of cricket. Don't think it will replace T20 as the short form of the game just yet.

I'd like to see French cricket tried out as the new razzmatazz TV version of the sport for people with short attention spans like me. Can you have a word with whoever is in charge of the Big Bash about that for me?



Loving Gandalf Sorbo! lol

A birthday present from a friend this is a really impressive sculpt, intricate and dynamic, although I swapped the enormous serrated shepherd's crook thing he was carrying for something a bit more businesslike. As you hopefully might be able to tell I was attempting to capture something of the look that Blasphemia Blackwood (who posts on this forum) gives her astounding AOS miniatures.

Thanks Cubs, that means a lot coming from you *blushes*.

And yes, Elk101 that is indeed a compliment. I read her tutorials and consciously tried to follow parts of her method, but I could not help but think that her application of highlights would be more sparing and her use of shadows more, well... artistic. And I was not brave enough (this time) to try her paint flicking technique on an otherwise finished miniature!

Thanks guys. It was an inspired find/guess/trial. I’m happy with how it turned out. The rider is a big 28mm - that helps because the boar is huge. Will need to put together a few more for my Saga forces.  Base is completed, but no pics as this guy is packed away for a bit.

I've had this mini for a long time and was intimidated by all the parts, but this spring I started painting vikings/barbarians and Boris called out to me from the lead pile. So he made it to the work bench and sat. Then this fall I got the bug to work on him again and out came the pin vice and glue, and paint.

The base is 25mm.  She's a Reaper Mini and she's in line with those miniatures - so she's probably big when compared to more "proper" 25mm minis.  She is levitating, so that probably doesn't help. :D

Thanks, yeah they're both great minis - super easy to paint.  I'm a "paint in the lines" type of guy.  If a mini doesn't have crisp, easily visible lines...I struggle.  All of the minis I did on this page were super easy to paint.

Thank you very much for the kind words.  Your chap really does have it all going on in the Horn Department.

I must say I'm really enjoying this LP Painting Club and am getting miniatures finished that otherwise would have languished for years. I recently received my  Forge of Ice KickStarter and will try to get one or two finished for inclusion here if I get the opportunity.

Another thoroughly modern fantasy mini:

No. 177 This is the Blight Dragon, or Blighter as I like to call it. (Would "Old Blightey" be taking it too far?).

(https://maledrakh.files.wordpress.com/2020/12/201204-lost-adventures-blight-dragon-3.jpg)

The Blighter was 3D printed in a single piece on my Elegoo Mars Pro.

I made the base on another kind of printer.

I was given the .stl-file as an out-of-the-blue freebie at the very end of delivery of all the rewards from the first Lost Adventures kickstarter campaign. It was originally from the Lost Dragons KS. It is currently available to buy from the lost adventures website.

I managed to make the time to get the Captain of the Guard miniature finished over the holidays and am very pleased with the result. The miniature is well cast and very well sculpted.

I was just thinking this the other day. The new Warcry Skink set should be around £30, based on the other sets. There are six figures in it and I thought "£5 a figure, that's not too bad" - and then I realised what I'd just thought o_o

I instantly thought of the trolls in the Hobbit, funnily enough.

Love the style of that Ogre.  Even makes it more painful because I have the same model...that's not painted nearly as nice! :D

197 - Converted Oathmark Dwarf

Arms from a frostgrave barbarian, and a bunch of ... rustic ... green stuff work - I think I'm learning on that front. At least I think I somewhat managed to hide it under the texture.  lol

Thanks man - I guess all that time I spend staring at some of your minis and wondering how the heck you did, it payed of a little bit  ;)
But yea, really glad it comes through. Thanks for the nice comments!

What a great way to round off and what a great gallery we have here. Oldhammerer at heart though I am and remain, there some great examples of newer sculpts here.

Hats off Elk, a fine undertaking.

Absolutely wonderful stuff filled thread.

Well worth another read through to see the entries.

Thanks to all entries for the inspiration and eye candy, and wonder what the next painting thread theme will be, certainly enjoyed it being twice the the usual number and longer duration this time round

The most recent entries are just as interesting and diverse in terms of subject matter and painting style as what went before.  This was the first painting party I have contributed to and I hope it is not the last!

Well done one and all.
The undead bear is a nice finish. You've done a great job on it!

Really inspiring stuff in here.  It was convenient that it happened while I was on a Fantasy kick - even if I didn't see it was happening until into the mid-100's!

I looked through each entry again and it appeared (at least on my phone) that some entries had disappeared. Could people possibly check their entries and add their images back in again if they have gone, please?

So, what do we do next?  lol

Post by: Muzfish4 on January 19, 2021, 12:38:33 AM
I concur - terrific way to end the thread.

It was a lot of fun and I managed to get more miniatures finished than I expected so if the goal was to get languishing miniatures painted then this has been a five star success.

Thank you all for contributing and thank you especially to the admins for running the thread.

Up yours!

Wait, just to check, is it the miniatures that are rude, or the competition?

I like that idea. Well volunteered!  lol

It's a general topic so Workbench could be as good a place as any to host it?

As an aside, I see that Pendraken are running a painting competition and have a fantasy category for anyone who fancies some 10mm action?

Post by: Plynkes on January 20, 2021, 12:25:07 PM
Well, that's it isn't it? Which definition of 'rude' are we using? All of them?


I shall perhaps paint the Rude Mechanicals from A Midsummer Night's Dream. I already did an LPL entry about that play many years ago, maybe it's time I painted the rest of the cast?



Oh, and by the way, well done everyone. A most enjoyable club.

A great endeavor.  Painting clubs are always fun.  They are a great way to rescue the odd miniatures that have been lost in the limbo of my painting queue.

A rude miniature will definitely take some thought.
