Cheers all. Happy they have gone down well - so many great painters on this site. Have a few more finished bits and pieces to post, but might have to wait until next week.

Hello, one more set to share.  These are RAFM miniatures- I believe they are supposed to represent player characters at different stages of their careers… as dark powers slowly consume their minds… Priest and Nun!

This whole thread is excellent, but your Gothic Horror collection is a marvel! I have exactly 7 of them, but I'll get there some day!
Keep showing your work, please. Great stuff!

Thanks for enlightening me! I have painted every single miniature of these, but wasn't aware they were from one set and never had the idea that they could be meant to be three-stage-characters. I had painted them at different occasions and for different purposes, therefore neither me nor anybody else would suspect them to be the same persons when assembled next to each other...  lol

I think the ghouls might also be a similar set up.  There are three of them in the “unarmed ghouls” set that seems to progress from one with hat, coat and trousers, a halfway figure with trousers and a skull and then a full on transformation.

Love the copplestone figures you have painted, and the paint work is very smooth transitions on all of them.

Thanks - much of it is to do with the sculpts - RAFMs old line, Fenris, Citadel, and even Grenadier are in my opinion amongst the best on the market.

These are first three Deep-ones I’ve painted (RAFM). I have also just bought some of Bob Murch’s Crucible Crush / Masters of the Devil Reef Deep-ones and the style is still very similar - just a lot larger than these guys. Hopefully they will integrate well once I’ve painted them all up (to come)

Still have two more figures to paint to finish this set, but here is the RAFM Miskatonic University Expedition up the Mekong (ignore the brick wall and let your imagination wander to south east Asian jungle)…

Your collection is amazing, the paintwork is brilliant! Do you game with them at all?

Re: the Deep Ones, I think Bob Murch actually sculpted the old RAFM stuff too? :)

Sadly not wargamed since my twenties (ex-GW store staff). We play a fair bit of Mansions of Madness but so far none of my models have replaced the plastic minis in the box sets on the table top.. For the most part I am collecting and painting for my own enjoyment.

RAFM old ones are indeed Bob Murch, can’t get enough of his sculpting style (old and new).
