Title: Argonor's Haunted House of Horror
Post by: Argonor on November 02, 2022, 07:25:59 PM: This last month, after a two-year hiatus, I have been delving back into the dark arts of painting and gaming with miniatures, and what better opportunithy to get some horror-related stuff painted and displayed than the past Hell'O'Weekend?

I painted these for my 28mm display on the sideboard.

And there are pics of the actual display on my blog:

Yes, I'm learning on-the-go with these, so thanks!

I may go back and re-do the first one with a blue basecoat, too, to make him match the others. I'll probably also do snowy bases from blue from now on.

Post by: supervike on January 03, 2023, 06:27:28 PM: I painted up a Snowman w/ a machine gun this year.

I've been painting a creepy Christmas themed mini each year for the last couple. My Chaos Christmas Crew is growing slowly. It's a much better tradition that the 'elf on a shelf'...

I gotta get these minis. I had forgotten all about them. The color scheme you have on the last two is right on!!

I don't have an evil Santa, just the Copplestone Santa with Pretty Assistant.

Sounds like a long-term commitment :)

And, yes, I like the blue-based white better than the Apothecary White, too.
