Heres a few figures I painted recently, that I had a chance to photo this weekend.
One of my son's agents appropriately named "Gunner"

A Priest...The camera caught a bit of a glare in his coat..

A couple more Cultists....Narg from Hasslefree is a good special character fit for a Cultist team. A nice figure to add some special skills too. The gunman obviously is from the Pulp Figures range.

A Cult Leader from Artizan... This miniature fits in quite well with the other Pulp Figures Cultists. The Head and chest adornments seem to set him above the others. I might go back and put some symbols on his head and chest pieces, I can't decide.

Finally a Nightgaunt... I love this model. I decided to paint it black after reading an article on painting black miniatures. It doesn't show well in the photo but the figure is has a dark blue/green highlight on the upper left aspect of it's figure to raise the detail of the figure. I considered painting the horns and talons ivory but decided to go with description from the COC game.

"Black things with smooth, oily whale-like surfaces, unpleasant horns and worst of all they never spoke or made a sound because they had no faces. All they ever did was lash needlessly and disquietly; that was the way of the Nightgaunts."

I love the way the Nightgaunt turned out. Nice work.

That priest looks good. What range is it from?

Thanks
It's from Artizan too from their Thrilling Tales range.

Cheers. I thought I recognized it but I'm too lazy on a Monday morning to go searching for it... ;)

Really like the clean style....and Although I'm not a big fan of 'gloss'...have to say it works here.

Great figures. What game are you using them with?

I use 2 clear coats on miniatures after they're painted, a gloss and a flat coat.
I spray a gloss coat on my miniatures after painting to add a protective coat and it seems to increase the vividness of the model...
Then I use a Testors brand clear flat enamel spray to remove the sheen.
It attributes to a "cartoonly look" but I find that look appealing to me.
I must say, Testors dull coat spray is by far the best sealant I've ever used. It goes on perfectly clear, tones the paint and protects it too.
This was a process I came upon by accident, after experimenting with various flat and gloss sealants. It creates a different look independant of either being used alone. I'm sure we all have grown accustom to a different look and feel for our models.

Thanks. I'm using them for Strange Aeons...I have a couple games and pics posted in the Strange Aeons Child forum.

I have never seen the Hasslesfree Torturer before. I like it. Good work. You have miiatures for different histories and sceneries. I really like your Congo battle.
