Great project!!

Just curious, but do you know the Aegyptian miniatures of Crocodile games?

Somehow I missed this update. Lots of lovely stuff, but that banshee is definitely me favourite. I love what you've done with the limited palette.

Yes! I have a few of their Wargods of Aegyptus minis, maybe 4 or 5. I have painted 2 so far:

Maybe I will buy it and paint it someday.


So. I haven't made a lot of progress in the hobby lately. And I probably won't have the opportunity to paint minis before a week, maybe two, because real life is getting in the way.

So what is currently waiting in my workshop?

1) An assembled jackal monster from a kickstarter (Desert of the Dead) who will be played as a werejackal (basically the egyptian equivalent of a werewolf) in my games of Frostgrave/Sandgrave. A few more preparations (green stuff some bits) and he will be ready to be painted.



2) I also started a conversion for an important character of mine, a magician lady. The original mini is from Reaper Miniatures (Yanara).



My plan is to change her head, her belt ornament, the top of her staff and maybe ad a few more things on the way.

So I started by sawing her head off and sanding down the remaining hair (she still has a small fur on the shoulders).



A quick test to make sure the new head (from Statuesque Miniatures) looks good:



I think it's a perfect fit for my magician/priestess lady specialized in healing spells (she's a thaumaturge in my games of Frostgrave/Sandgrave). I like the softness of her round shaved head.
I had doubts about the piece of fur on her shoulders and upper back. Should I keep it or should I trim it and sand it down completely? After some thinking, I decided I will keep it and paint it as a special garment, a piece of leopard fur, to show that she is not a mere novice of her temple but a high priestess.

From now on, I have to:

• drill and glue the head to the body
• re-sculpt the piece of fur with some green stuff (it has been predictably damaged when I sanded down the hair left for the previous head)
• cut off the top of her staff and find a more suited replacement, something more egyptian looking
• shave the belt ornament (currently some kind of winged skull) and replace it with an ankh cross

I'll post again when I have finished the conversion (hopefully soon).

Any progress is good progress

That head looks so much better.
