Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 08/01/18 Wyrd's Lucky Effigy

I finally based up the Wyrd Lucky Effigy miniature that I finished awhile ago.
Zooming in on the Little Guy:








I imagine him lurking at the entrance to some dark alley, offering his wares for sale to the passersby.
It might make for an interesting random encounter...or not.

Cute, cunning and... lucky! A combination for success! Cheers!
By the way, the background is superb!

I think he is reminiscent of The Artful Dodger from Oliver Twist. I am glad you like him & the background, Dinos.
The background is the center of the still-to-be-painted photo stage . Thanks for the reply.

Re: The Last Hurrah Project: 08/02/18 Dark Hold Goblin Monks

I finished up a pair of Dark Hold Goblin Monks. These Little (a towering 10 mm tall) Fellows will appear in the background of some larger pieces eventually for an added touch of weirdness/whimsy:

I love those guys. You've used a number of them before, if I recall? Though not in monks' habits.

I have done all of the Dark Hold Goblins at least once. When they offered the Monks in packs of ten, I got two packs.
I have the one that comes with the Priest & seven more painted, including these two. SO there are five of the
Little Guys (10 mm tall) stuck on various bases with thirteen plus another Priest's assistant.
When I did fantasy cartoons, there would be an odd red eye peeping out of a hole in the wall. The eye carried over to
the miniatures, along with faces, & the Monks...the Vultures are joining the supporting cast as well.

All that aside, I am happy you like him, Fram. Thanks for the reply.

Thanks, Fram. He is certainly nuts enough for the place.

It looks like he's the mastermind behind all what's happening on your boards; a suitable little rascal who's in for plating some jokes and tricks on the lesser intelligent inhabitants of your world.
I really like his smile/grin! :D

Thanks, LordOdo. I am glad you like him...he does have an endearing smile.

Thanks for the reply, Duncan. Whoever did the sculpt nailed the grin. I am glad you like the Little Rogue.

Malifaux's got a lot of good fits for this project, doesn't it?  You should maybe take a look at Privateer's Hordes Grymkin stuff as well, for ex these drunken loons:

Thanks for the link, H.S.. I have picked up a number of the Grymkin miniatures. There are some minis from P.P's Minions & their Mercenaries that are also appealing.
I splurged on some of the Wrath of Kings stuff as well, namely the House Teknes. Steampunk has an appeal for me. It is very Alice in Wonderland-ish.
