Thanks guys, they are lots of fun to do, but this batch was odd in that halfway through I really felt disappointed with them and wasn't feeling it. Odd how that sometimes happens. By the end I was happy with them, it's just that middle phase seemed to take forever and I wasn't happy with them.

But what do you use for the bases? It looks like several different tuft types? Some looks like peat moss or something. What’s that from?

Yeah, just different tufts and my homemade moss tufts. I buy bags of 1mm flock in bulk, blend them to get the shade I want (literally, green, brown, yellow and black) and then use a static grass applicator to make little fuzzy moss tufts. All the commercial moss tufts I've seen use 2mm flock which is longer than I want.

Wonderful realistic paint jobs on all of them. I had never seen these before. Who sculpted them?

So good!

Honestly don't know, but I'm going to guess one (or both) of the Perry's. There's something about the faces that says 'Perry' to me.

Great work

Some are Perry

The others could be, with some Aly mixed in:

Something for the weekend, sir? These days the best I can hope for is an indulgent painting side-project for myself. This weekend it was a start on my Runequest 'Humanoid Adventurers' Boxed Sets #1. I always love the fact that they're real adventurers, laden down with all sorts of bags and bundles, although it does increase painting time a wee bit. Here we have a well-heeled Daka Fal (Ancestor Worship) adventurer with 'Mankind' rune on his shield, an angry Storm Bull (Chaos Killer) adventurer with 'Beast' rune on his shield and a chilly looking Eiritha (Mother of Herds) adventuress who doesn't have a shield, but who would have had a 'Fertility' rune if she did. But she didn't. So she doesn't.

Superb! The Storm Bull chap's got a proper "bottler's face" - and the startled look of the Eritha worshipper makes me think she's just spotted a broo among the herds!

That beast-rune shield is amazing.

Lovely work sir, I can easily see them walking through me screen to go adventuring!

Thanks guys. In case anyone's wondering, yes that is a wire spear. A lot of the Runequest line have very slender spears, which look lovely but rarely survive the years. The hand was drilled (and reconstructed when the fingers and thumb fell off!), the sections where it touched the body were snipped off and a nice new spear put in place.

That beast-rune shield is amazing.

The rune took a little while, but it was just a case of going slow with a thin brush and thin paint.

Fantastic work on these. It's such a great range of figures, and a real treat to see them painted so well. And the runes are outstandingly done.

JollyBob · « **Reply #432 on:** November 17, 2020, 04:05:23 PM »

Magnificent as always.

I agree the adventurer's kit really makes the figures when done properly like this, but so many sculptors suffer from kitchensinkitis when it comes to a figure's equipment!

For unknown reasons no one I gamed with growing up played Runequest. Nice figures with fantastic paint jobs.
