Whilst browsing Otherworld Miniatures website I saw three beings called mongrelmen, a bit more googling found a few images and snippets of information from D and D.

The Otherworld Miniatures are now on order but I fancied trying to do one myself.

This one consists of a GW Ogre head, Wargames Atlantic Einherjar right leg, left leg and right arm from a Zombicide Invader miniature, body and left arm from Frostgrave female soldier, packs/sword from various Frostgrave kits and Anvil Industry, trousers, shirt and bedroll in greenstuff.

I still need to do some more greenstuff work to smooth out the clothing and clear up some flash here and there.

Have a new Sigilist for Frostgrave to paint before I finish this chap but I'm really looking forward to having him painted.

It is cool now.  It will be exceptional when finished.

Thank you, most kind.

I painted Melvyn Hawkfoot this morning and got a few quick pics off just now.

I'm not the greatest painter but I'm quite pleased with him.

Very clever kitbash and your brushwork really brought it to life! 👍

You are too humble.  Impressive all around.

And a Sigilist to go with my 4 armed apprentice for a planned campaign of Frostgrave's Thaw of the Lich Lord.

Very nice wizards.  You will have fun with Thaw of the Lich Lord.  We have been playing in order and are just about to do the Bone Wheel.

Putting together the figures for Sunjester's new expansion for Sellswords and Spellslingers, Night of the Assassins.

One scenario requires the movement of figures that are yet to be identified as Friend or Foe.

During play testing I just used markers but wanted something a bit better for the actual game without breaking the bank.

Took some Mantic Star Saga troops, cut off arms and weapons, added bits of sprue and old arms from elsewhere, covered in toilet paper soaked in wood glue, quick prime and drybrush.

2 hours and job done.

Like them so much they've just become a new set of wandering monsters for tonight's club game of Frostgrave; Shadow Constructs with Ethereal and Construct traits.

Really must start my museum pieces next.

So the disembowelled ghouls I built ages ago got painted last night.

Models are kitbashed Mantic Ghouls, GW Poxwalkers and greenstuff for the intestines/guts.

Painted with brighter glothing than my usual fantasy NPC's as I have a specific backstory in mind for a Gothic Horror scenario I'm working on.

I really like those.  Simple clever solution.

An interesting take on this, I just used random civilians. I do like the look of them as constructs/wierd monsters!

[Lost Egg]

They made me think of the scarecrow minions from Dr Who (The Family 2 parter).

Cracking idea and execution.
