Nice work, mate, and welcome back to the fold!
 :-* :-*

I do like those versions and the fenris offerings, but both look a little fragile to me.
Are they metal?

Thanks!! They are metal, so they need a bit of care. I think that you can pin one of the feet to a "rock", gravestone or something to make it stronger. The Nightgaunt will not fly but it'll be more resistent.

Cheers.

Thanks for the information.
Still not sure which Nightgaunts to go for...

Thats a great paintjob, I was just figuring how I should do my black!

As for nightgaunts, Mason,  I had the same problem. As much as I like avolak castings' one it is just too dynamic, as weird as it sounds - love the idea of balancing it on the tail tho! I really like fenris' pose and how slim it is - just as it is supposed to be. But personally, I went with EM4...I actually like how simple it is - suits the rest of my collection. So, perhaps you could have a look at those?

To be honest, I am being tempted into converting or making my own.

Nice work einarolafson!
Some very subtle shading effects there.
I think that's the best painted nightgaunt I have ever seen.
Lovely.

This fireball was modelled by Avolak Castings in a translucent resin. I painted it with yellow inks and some drybrushing. In the end the thing is keeping transparence and I like the final result. I'm including a comparison picture with a Threshold Agent from Uncle Mike's Worldwide, and another one of the Nightgaunt.

Superb!
You certainly managed to keep the transparancy!
