Really cool warband!

[Frugalmax]

Nice work! Are they for a particular game or just to paint some cool miniatures?

[Muddypaw]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!

Nice work! Are they for a particular game or just to paint some cool miniatures?

They’re mostly just rule of cool but with a loose idea that I paint maybe 5 to 10 of a particular type or faction just in case I find a skirmish game to play. Right now, that means Five Leagues from the Borderlands and Middle Earth Battle Companies.
Edit. And Dragon Rampage which has a sweet spot of 6 or 12, which seems doable.

After painting all those white wolf cloaks I felt like showing where those cloaks come from, so here’s a concerned parent and pups. I wanted a supernatural feel, like a chilly hell-hound. I’m planning another 5, all Tom Meier sculpts for Dark Sword Game of Thrones dire wolves. The cute little pups are from Fenris Games.

Aww, what an adorable puppy playing with a human skull! Great job!

Those puppy minis are lovely, and the painting is gorgeous!

[Freddy]

Great looking little wolf family!

[Muddypaw]

Thanks everyone. I do love those pups. I’ve nabbed the rest of the Tom Meier Dark Sword dire wolves and they are sooo good. The man’s a sculpting god! I’ve also got a few coming from Ral Partha, giant wolves also by Tom so hopefully they’ll gel as a pack. Dark Sword ones below. I’m planning to do little bits and pieces here and there in between other minis or when paints drying, etc. 9 all together which feels like a nice number for a pack.

Finished another! Took me 10 days but there’s two of them and it was a conversion job, head and sword arm swap. He was originally going to be a charioteer but he crowded out the passenger, so career change time. In vaguely historical settings he’ll be a guardian of the royal tombs, in fantasy a hard drinking berserker type with a love for horns, wether for hats or drinking. He has two friends already painted, so slowly growing into their own little faction or gang.

This looks grand! That fur patterning is just gorgeous

This looks grand! That fur patterning is just gorgeous

Thank you! I’ve had a complete turnabout over the last couple of years, from hating painting fur and feathers to something I actually quite enjoy now. So far on this project I’ve done  a lion (griffin bits), a couple of lynx like cats, a couple of magpie themed harpies and a magpie winged gnome. Not quite an arks worth.

Great pose on both of the figures

[Frugalmax]

Excellent work! Love the dynamism, color scheme, and combination of historical and fantasy armor and gear!

[Muddypaw]

My first mini of August! I should have had this thing done a few days go, but only got the varnish on yesterday. The varnish is always the chefs kiss moment in a figure paint. I love it. She’s the first of another occasional gang or faction, bunch of amazons led by a hero on a unicorn. I’m going to finish the final 2 elf mercenaries and then onto another of these amazons. 6 to 10 always feels to me like a solid number to feel like a cohesive and good looking bunch of minis.

[Frugalmax]

Really nice work!

Well done.
