The Golem paints egyptian fantasy miniatures

It all looks wonderful.

  Truly superb! Congratulations.

Um, not willing to highjack anything I take the liberty to share a link about a game played 5 years ago, if it could give more ideas for more inspiration.

Cracking stuff!  And I liked the tutorial for the rooms or chambers as well!

[Muddypaw]

Having recently bought models from both Dark Fable and Dragon Bait I am Very pleased to see the range not only survives but was also purchased by a friend. Joe and Mike seem like great guys from my limited interaction with them. The hobby can be a fragile place when companies that are labours-of-love shut up shop, so good news.

Good luck and thanks for keeping Mike’s legacy going.

Edit. Also those Egyptian dungeons look great. Home printing>sliced bread!

Thanks for the comments, much appreciated!

My latest painted mini isn't exactly egyptian-looking but I feel it is generic enough to fit in and it was left unpainted in my pile of lead for far too long:

Oh, un camarade breton ici ! ^^
I took a look at your thread. It looks like it was an awesome game!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Brilliant work, and I think you managed to give it an Egyptian vibe with your color palette.

Great brushwork

You certainly have, it looks spot on.
 

That sandy base looks great. Care to share your process?

Stunning thread!

An excellent collection of painted figures and terrain.  Looking forward to more in this theme.

Thanks guys, much appreciated!

Basically I spread a textured paste from Vallejo (link) on the base. Once dry, I applied a slightly diluted desert yellow paint.  Then, I dabbed pigments with an old brush, mostly yellow ochre and burnt sienna, and lastly I glued some grass tufts.

Here is a video tutorial from someone who does it better than me:

I agree those are some of the best sandy bases I've seen.

Love this thread!  You definitely have some nice figures here. 
What did you use to paint the skin of the tomb raiders? I've been trying to lock a good paint combo down with little success.

He fits in nicely with the rest of your figures. I'm enjoying checking in on your blog to see what's new. Keep up the good work.
