Tap's Rangers of Shadow Deep - Project Complete

[Spinal Tap]

They look very good for the price. What did you use as a sealant to stop the foliage from dropping off?

Ages ago I accidentally ordered 2 tins of Humbrol spray gloss varnish instead of matt.

I tested it out on one tree and it looked fine so pretty much a can and a half went on these and it's done a really good job, hardly any foliage loss now.

So the Rangers need Hounds too.

Baron Greenback had his Nero.

For the younger readers, replace the above comment with "Caterpie- I CHOOSE YOU!" 

Great concept and execution, though now I want to see beetles as their rivals' hounds for some reason.

[Little Odo]

I really like the way that you have painted those caterpilars.

[Spinal Tap]

Thank you chaps.

I got both references Mr Grout - I'm old enough for the first and my kids were avid Pokemon fans.

There will be more insects both friend and foe before this project is done.

Quite a productive days yesterday between the Six Nations matches.

Finished off three Mouse City Guards and based them this morning.

The first scenario of ROSD requires giant rats, but my giant rats are the people; I have repurposed my Manaworms from Frostgrave to be giant centipedes in ROSD.

Perhaps the best thing about the centipedes though is that if you put one on the spare bedroom floor you can get your wife to scream really loudly as she wonders back from the bathroom to the bedroom

Very nice!

Once your wife realised the "monster" was one of your toys, how did she respond?

When he gets back from Casualty, we will find out

It's always a pleasure to see Burrows and Badgers miniatures on the board.

[Spinal Tap]

She responded with a tirade of profanities..as usual.

No casualty visit needed.

This time.

And I love doing them as the quality of the sculpts makes my painting skills look better than they are.

gosh, yes - those caterpillars really are gribbley ...

nice work on the B&B figures.

Do you leave the centipedes in their normal rubbery state, or is there something you apply to them to keep them still?

Left them as is, they are more plastic than rubber, obviously chopped some up for those bursting out of the ground and painted eyes black.

Genius idea to use these figures for Rangers of Shadow Deep. Must do the same.
