Van-Helsings Horror Miniatures Thread

[Whiskyrat]

I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the Warbases Buildings.

I have a 3 or 4 PMC ones and having an urge to build a bigger layout, I am currently torn between buying more ready painted PMC (I'm lazy and it's not too pricey) or trying the flat-pack. 

Not come across Lemax before - thanks for sharing.

Fxxx sideways that's quite a haul! 

I'm also anxious to see how your warbases and lemax purchases come out. 

[Van-Helsing]

It made me VERY Happy

CONGRATULATIONS on all the shiny new toys...have FUN with the painting et al.

[Van-Helsing]

You might have noticed I've not been updating my Painting as of late, its not because I've lost interest - but rather because I'm painting some miniatures for someone else at the moment (unfortunately not Horror themed) - but be assured normal service will be resumed as soon as possible!

Managed to get a little work done on my EotD Reaper Deathlight last night, whilst carrying on with the Commission work.

Why is it when you have LOADS to do, there never seems to be enough hours in the day - but when you have nothing to do, there seems to be too many hours in the day LoL!

[Van-Helsing]

Finished two more Miniatures for "that other guy" last night (LoL), and did a little more work on my Reaper Deathlight (for some reason he's being stubborn and not "coming together")

I also made a good start on "Mr Chop" - I've done mine as a big red demon-dude!

Pictures ASAP!

[Van-Helsing]

My Warbases buildings I ordered for Empire of the Dead arrived!

I've checked everything, it's all present and correct - they're quite lovely really.

[Commander Vyper]

Dammit man lives are at stake!

PICTURES!!!!!

[Van-Helsing]

LoL! They aren't assembled yet!

[Van-Helsing]

Now I am down to just one commission, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Both Mr Chop and the Reaper Deathlight seem to have been "half-done" for ages. I can see a point where both will get finished, and I can FINALLY make a start on by Terrain.

I've got to "pull my finger out" with the additional stuff I have now brought for my EotD Games!

Chronoscope - Edward Titchener, British Officer, Sherlock Holmes & Dr Watson, Van Helsing, Jack the Ripper.

Vampire Wars - London Civilians, London Gentlemen, Hanson Cab, London Mob, London Bobbies, Harlots, Victims, Zendarian Troopers with Pistols (I can’t find mine), Vampire Count/Slayer Packs 1 & 2.

Malifaux - Victorian Lamp-posts and Basing Kits (two of each).

Design 28 Miniatures -  Victorian Gentlemen, the Jack the Ripper set, and the Vampyre hunters (because I like the Blunderbusses LoL)

SO MUCH TO DO SO LITTLE TIME!

Phew!

[Van-Helsing]

I am SLOWLY Getting back into the painting again, after a long slog with family problems, ill health and other "real world" hassles.
 
But I simply cannot decide WHAT to start with!??!?!
 
OK, here is a question for you folks - what should I paint, as an attempt to ease myself back into things I'm starting with a Character first.

• The Butler (painted as an Automaton)

• The Butler (painted as a living person)

• Professor Erasmus

• Jack the Ripper

• Reaper Deathlight

• Gallows Hag

• Circ du Noir Man Ape (Top Hat)

• Circ du Noir Man Ape (Bowler Hat)

• Lady Luck

• Mr Chop, Demon Butcher

I am a little stuck for inspiration (plus I look at all my "stuff" and feel somewhat overwhelmed) so any "prods" in the right direction will be muchly appreciated!

Go with Jack, he'll be a relatively easy paint job but will look great on the table.

[Van-Helsing]

FINALLY I've had a bit of an "Empire of the Dead" painting session atm, and so I'm watching "The Wrong Box" (1966) - Does anyone else watch/listen to "inspirational" Material whilst they paint?

[Brummie Thug]

I've only just realised after reading this page that the post at the top where July last year! I thought they where last month and couldn't understand why i'd not seen the posts updated
