Title: I painted some fantasy miniatures
Post by: Aesthete on May 04, 2020, 10:51:00 PM: I finally managed to finish some of the minis on my table, and even take photos. This batch are all old Citadel minis, except the gobbos who are a more recent vintage.

If you want to see their backs, you'll have to go to my blog to look at them (https://miniaturefront.blogspot.com/2020/05/old-school-citadel-fantasy-minis.html). But here are the front views:

Post by: Battle Brush Sigur on May 07, 2020, 10:44:53 AM: Very nice. :) I dig the pattern on the plastic beastman in the left. There's only so much we can do with these figures, so you gotta get a bit creative. :D Good stuff.

Title: Re: I painted some fantasy miniatures
Post by: Aesthete on July 17, 2020, 11:25:44 PM: I painted a few Dwarves (5, Oathmark), a single Beastman (Citadel), and a pack mule (Citadel). Here are the Dwarves trying to recover their mule from a currently very unfriendly Beastman:

I have a few more pictures on my blog (http://'https://miniaturefront.blogspot.com/2020/07/the-five-dwarves-mule-and-beastman.html').

Post by: Aesthete on April 15, 2021, 12:45:38 AM: I guess if I update my painting blog once a year that's still progress, right?

Anyways, I painted some minis and posted pictures on my blog (https://miniaturefront.blogspot.com/2021/04/vikings-and-gaels-and-harpies-dwarf.html).

I painted some Harpies (Foundry)

And some Celtos Gaels and an Oathmark Dwarf wizard

I also painted some vikings and Normans, but they're over in the appropriate subforum.

I like the Celtos figures - got a bunch myself recently.

Yeah, I really do like the Celtos minis too. I have a bunch of them in the "at least they're primed" pile.

Thanks! For a lot of them, I think they may get RPG use where being able to refer to them as "the blue one" and "the albino one" is an important use case.

Lovely work

Post by: Aesthete on April 07, 2022, 10:26:36 PM: Long time no paint (and thus no post), but here are a Bronze Age Mini Dwarf and a few Oathmark skeletons I painted:

The Dwarf warrior's chance of survival very much depends on a) how tough skeletons are in the system the battle is resolved in; and b) whether she's a hero or not.

A few more pics on my blog (https://miniaturefront.blogspot.com/2022/04/dwarf-vs-skeletons.html).

... on the upside, I did get a bunch of priming done so maybe that's a positive indication for the future.
