Title: Hubbabubba's Snail like Fantasy Thread
Post by: hubbabubba on June 29, 2017, 09:30:58 PM: I'm kinda cross posting from the workbench, buit it seems this would be better here.
I've been stuck in a funk of epic proportions of late, but here's some skellies I got done a week or three ago. All of them are Otherworld except the boss skelly who's from GW.

Now to get some adventurers done :?

Post by: hubbabubba on August 10, 2017, 05:52:09 PM: An up date and a recap.

Adventurers, all figs from reaper.

the Skellies once again

And the current extent of the labrynth on a 3'x3' board using a cobbled felt mat from Ceri designs. (not bad for the price but a little too green/grey for my liking.)

Gotta love Tre's sculpts, sooo much character to them.

How did you make the columns?

They're made out of wine corks, cut in half then pinned together. They are then glued on to washers and then finally a lipped base.

Awesome thread! Always love your work? Howve you done the labyrinth?

Thanks Dijit. There is a thread on the workbench board about the labyrinth, but as is the case with so much other stuff, Photofuckit killed it. The walls are cut from expanded foam insulation sheets, then carved and textured. I cut recesses into the bottom of them and stuck 2 or 3 washers in each wall section to give them some weight.

Very effective recipe for pillars!

Finally got around to finishing some more fantasy scenery.

A question. What do people do to protect their painted terrain? Do you varnish it? If so wih what?

Be prepared to touch it up every now and again although considering it's usually me who damages my own terrain it's not a massive problem lol
Title: Hubbabubba's Snail like fantasy thread.
Post by: hubbabubba on September 27, 2018, 05:14:45 PM: Posting up what i painted over the summer.

First, Hasselhoff Not Disney ripoffs, lovely sculpts, as to be expected from KW.

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1949/30007721917_6e3f084c9f_b.jpg)

This one is my fave, Mërida.

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1944/31072009648_b904afb4c7_h.jpg)

Bought them on the pretence of them being for my daughters, but I think we all know that they're never gonna get to play with Daddy's dollies. lol

This one was a Reaper promo, she's a great sculpt bar the titty armour, for which I can see no logical explanation other than pure titillation. I'll get my coat... To me, she's become little Red Riding hood, the 'little' being irony, as she towers over the hasselfree figs. Wolf to follow.

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1929/31072009548_2166f21c99_k.jpg)

Next up, these GW skellies from their Warhammer Quest line. You can say what you like about GW, but the way these figs are engineered to fit together off the sprue is a thing of beauty. To my mind, there is still nobody making better platic sprue based kits, although there are many who can give them a run for their money on single character figs. (W Artel, I'm thinking of you!)

(https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1929/30007720997_341d6bf691_b.jpg)

And finally, some dungeon vermin from Reaper Bones, spiders and rats.

I'm not sure. I believe she was a freebee when you spent x amount, perhaps she's now available. If not, I guess searching on ebay is your best bet.

Edit: just had a look herehttps://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Special%20Edition%20Figures/sku-down/01602#detail/01602_p_1_rb

So I guess ebay it is then.
Thanks for the feedback folks.

She's an oop Guildball figure, previously produced by Steamforged games, first in metal, then in plastic.
She pops up on ebay now and again, you're looking for Guildball Masons veteran chisel.

Happy hunting.

Post by: hubbabubba on July 25, 2023, 04:13:19 PM: Hello, thanks for all the previous comments, you guys are very generous :)

Some new bits:

A terror wing for Rangers, some kind of floppy Reaper bones Demon that needed it's legs drilling and wire inserted before it would stand up properly. The mold lines on it, especially around the wings, bug me immensely, but the early bones material is such a pain to clean up that I gave up and now I'll have to learn to live with them.

(https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53070889945_a5a11059d4_b.jpg)

I dug out these two old Grenadier fighters and gave their old paint jobs a bit of a polish.

Three of Otherworlds most excellent mummies, and the not Mumrah from crooked dice.

An old dwarf sculpt, I love the way his hairline meets his eyebrows. I don't remember which line it was in originally, but it's available from the most excellent Ral Partha Europe store on line.

And finally, this dirty great centipede dragon type thing, also from Reaper bones.

Post by: Pattus Magnus on August 18, 2024, 02:42:34 PM: I 100% agree with Ogrob, the painting on those wolves is excellent! Your colour scheme really captures the look of wolf fur.

Post by: Wirelizard on August 27, 2024, 07:28:33 PM: Those wolves look great, that grey-brown-tan sort of colouring so many real wolves have is hard to get right!

Remind me where they're from again? It's possibly somewhere earlier in this huge thread but I'm missing it...

They may be the Otherworld Miniatures ones, now available through Crooked Dice. Sculpted by Snuurg if memory serves.

Awesome paintjobs!

Post by: hubbabubba on August 28, 2024, 09:18:27 AM: Thanks again for the feedback.

@ Wirelizard.

The wolves are from a mix of manufactures:The big one is GW, then there's the smaller ones from RalPartha Europe, the ones with very defined musculature are from Warlord's Erehwon South American line, and there's one from Reaper that's the companion to a female ranger, (the nicest of the bunch IMO).
Title: Re: Hubbabubba's Snail like Fantasy Thread
Post by: Vladimir Raukov on August 28, 2024, 12:43:19 PM: Like everyone else has said, lovely wolves!
Title: Re: Hubbabubba's Snail like Fantasy Thread
Post by: hubbabubba on October 26, 2024, 11:20:41 PM: Some Reaper Bones Ogres, which forum denizen Rob painted and very kindly sold on to me.

I think the female may have been from Otherworld but not really sure.

I really like Rob's pjs on these, he used a flesh colour I would never have chosen, very orange. So much so that I shall christen them the Trumps so that might bring destruction and sow despair where-ever they roam.

I repainted the base rims, added some black lining and a few touch ups and details to Rob's painting, but pretty much all his work.

One thing that struck me is how big these brutes are, so much so that I may well play them as hill giants rather than ogres. If you see the comparison with the old school Goodwin ogre and the Copplestone barbarian, you'll see what I mean.

Anyway, thanks again Rob.

Post by: Chief Lackey Rich on January 09, 2025, 07:48:24 PM: Some really lovely painting on this thread, but not one of them could be fairly called snail-like. Here let me donate a couple of images:

Dreamblade repaint and obvious Gloranthan dragonsnail

Sadly I don't have the variant with the really cool spiky shell. Maybe you should do one. What fantasy minis collection is complete without one of D&D's goofiest monsters?

It's funny, now I suddenly feel like I need a flail snail in my collection.

A spell caster from Northstar and a ranger from Zombicide.

No, they're GW's usual styrene, but even so I can see myself sticking them bacck together on a semi regular basis.

The thread is stunning. I particularly like the Otherworld wraiths you did back in January. :-*
