Fantasy stuff in 28mm, mostly for KoW

[Freddy]

So I finished the 3 doggie-rattie things:


Now the unit is complete even without using the Chaos Hounds:

That is one scary looking bunch of critters. Nice work on these!

Thank you! Now I am thinking on adding some leader characters to them, maybe some kinda rider with a banner...

Skeleton king from Scibor.

Crom!

Great work there! And somehow I missed the dog-rat mutants from before- that's a great unit, nice job!

Thank you!
Scibor minis re a real pleasure to paint, they have really crisp details unlike the half-sucked lollipop feel of some other manufacturers.

Couldn't agree more with youFreddy.Might be the reliance on digitalsculptingby people who have not "pushed putty around".Saying that there are some painters on this forum (not mentioning any names for fear of leaving anyone out)who make even the flattest figures look incredible.Myself I prefer crisp detail.

It could be many things, sculpting material and style too. The two most common cases I met are
-cheap injection molding techniques where the negatives or the machinery do not allow crisp details
-those one-model-for-all-scales 3D prints where the model was made to fit larger scales too, this way the details in 28mm are simply too small. Common mistake for 3D modelers- the renders are impressive! Yes, in 3072*2304 on your computer screen, very cool, but in 28mm you need a microscope and a 80/0 brush.

Skeleton king.
You might notice that he is the second skeleton king- yep, this was the root case of the infamous Double Undead Civil War: the skeletons fought among themselves about who is the true king, and also the vampires fought among themselves about whose bright idea was to resurrect two powerful kings at once, causing all this mess. After many lives lost (2nd time) an agreement was made: Skeleton King I. is the Keeper King, overseeing all the skeletons, Skeleton King II. is the Liberator King, responsible for bringing new skeletons to the team. ("Liberator" as all human beings have an opressed captive skeleton inside them who just wants to break free ...according to the skeleton kings at least.)

Nice bit of background! And lovely miniature as always, still loving the dour colour palette you've gone with

Thank you! I'd like to keep my undead with this style of colour palette- even if they did have fancy clothes once, being in the grave for so long ruined it. Also I do not use dust on their lower parts, I add some green instead: as the clothing parts touching the ground, soak up water and get mossy instead of the dusty/muddy clothes of regular humans walking long distances.

[Basementboy]

Good thinking! It certainly adds a nice touch of realism to the army, might have to use that trick on my own minis

Old Skaven with some additions/repairs:


Death Priest from the Andrew May kickstarter:

More lovely work.

Thank you, I need more plague censer bearers now
