Thanks for the kind comments. :)

I haven't finished my conversion yet. Sculpting green stuff is quite intimidating and I am afraid of messing it up.

But I finally started painting again.

1) A 3D printed tabaxi (i.e. a fantasy race of feline people in D&D) who is exploring the desert:




2) I speed-painted a bunch of cultists from Reaper Miniatures. They will serve as death-worshipping cultists in my games of egyptian-frostgrave (aka Sandgrave; yes I know, the name is vastly unoriginal).



3) A soldier for my Sandgrave warband. The miniature is from Crocodile Games:





And that's it for now!

Lovely paint jobs, I particularly like the Croc mini.

If you're not too fussed about Sandgrave you could go with...Nilegrave...

Really like the red shields on the skellies,
& the way they go from very dark to a
nice bright red. :-*

They all look superb, but I especially love what you've done with the Reaper cultists. I've looked at those miniatures before but haven't been too impressed with them. This makes me look again!

Thanks for the comments, guys! Much appreciated!

gah !! more 'speed-paints' which look bloomin' amazing to me  :-[   :-*

In this latest batch, only the cultists were speedpainted. It took me one session (~2 hours) to colour all 6 of them whereas the tabaxi adventurer and the axe warrior took me 2 and 3 sessions respectively.

If you're not too fussed about Sandgrave you could go with...Nilegrave...
Nah I've been calling it "sandgrave" for a few years, I'm not going to change that now. ;)

@The Golem: Have you seen these?

Yes and I am really enthusiastic about them! I hope that they will correct the position of the quiver for the archers (as some people already told them in the comments). Once they get released, I am sure to buy a box of them or two.

Small update: a thaumaturge apprentice for my Sandgrave warband (model from Reaper Miniatures).







The model had a tiara originally but I cut it off because I wanted to make her look a little less fancy since she is "only" an apprentice, not a high priestess or a princess.

Of course, it is only after I varnished and photographed the mini that I realized I forgot to paint the tiny armband on her left arm...  >:(
Oh well. Like they say: "if you forgot it then it wasn't important."

All of that work looks amazing! It makes me really curious - do those reaper cultists match height wise with oathmark/frost grave minis, or are the more in the 30/32mm scale of things?

(Reaper, from what i remember, is a bit all over the place scale wise- so I don't know what these might end up being!)
