Old School Fantasy Painting Log (Updated 24/12/20)

[ilikepaintinglead]

Hi all I thought I'd create a topic to showcase some of the things that I've been painting and keep everything together in one place and hopefully tempt some of you to come and check out my blog as we all know the more page views and followers you have the better it makes you as a human being 

Anyway first up are some picks of some ruined temple type terrain I created recently from packing materials nabbed from work:







I should hopefully have the time this week to sort out a tutorial on the creation process later in the week.

Anyhow I also finished off the start of a small beastman/were warband hanging out in the ruins





There's more detailed shots of each mini up on my blog if your interested.

Also finished up a couple of other fantasy mini's:







Anyway that's all for now, let me know what you think and if you fancy seeing more of the same, check out my blog:

Not bad at all!! In fact - barring the base type which I'm not too keen on - I'd say you hit the nail on the hammer!

An EXCELLENT PROJECT! The Old Minis & new terrain look TERRIFIC. You've got some thingies in there that were popular when I was still considered young. All VERY WELL DONE!
If possible, a long view of the gaming board would be cool.

Very nice...those scarey creatures look right at home in that ruin.

Well played sir!

Thanks very much Dr Viking and Blue 

@Deafnala - At the moment I don't really have a gaming board, these shots were all taken on the coffee table in my living room on-top of a painted towel:

Here's a shot of the rest of my terrain on the towel so you can get the idea:

I had the same reaction when I saw it used on someone's blog. So simple and cheap and it folds away nicely.

Yes and on top of that I've been using towels for ages without even thinking about it...

Thanks, Amigo. The Towel looks TERRIFIC. Over on T.B.M.F. timplanet has a similar cool towel terrain thread. You can check it out here for other ideas:

I love it. Subscribing to your blog.

You just paint the towel with wall paint!?

Do you start from a green towel!?

I started with a brown towel (from Primark) and highlighted up through the greens using cheap acrylic paint from 'the works'.

A nice collection and an inspired idea with a towel gaming cloth!
