Right, time to get to work on this again. Health and work have kept me away from active hobbying for a bit, but it's time to get back on the horse.
I decided to start with something fairly quick and simple, so I wouldn't hit the mid-paint grind that I tend to get a bit when painting units or involved individual models and quit prematurely.
So I've painted the last six doors of my wife's Warhammer Quest set:

Five I painted as sandstone arches.
The final one I intend to use as the door to the Objective room and as such, deserved something a little more special:

A fancy marble arch to guide you into the final confrontation with whatever is waiting for you in the dark depths....  :o

Excellent! The decision to make one of those stand out was the right one!

Good to see you back in business. The objective gate looks the biz  :D

Thanks guys!
Sorry for not replying sooner, I had completely missed my own topic... New job training has left my brain a bit fried, I guess...

Well, I got around to painting a bit again. Here's the fruit of this weekend's labours:


A big, bad Minotaur from my wife's Warhammer Quest set. One step closer to a completely painted set. (Still roughly half of the way to go, though.... There are a lot of figures in this set!)

Looking great Mod!  Very nice brushwork, I really like the detail on the axe.
When fighting the thousand, you must still defeat them one at a time.

As you may have guessed from the lack of updates, hobby time and mojo has been a bit scarce lately...  :'(
Luckily today I had both the time and the inspiration to do a quick little terrain project:

A set of mystical stone circles for my sorceresses, wizards and other mystics to draw power from.
They're a bit inspired by a pc game franchise I'm fond of. If you know it, the sigils on the central formations should give a hint. (Internet cookie for the first to guess right.)

Since taking that picture I've glued ballast and sand to the bases and once that is dry I just need to seal the stones with PVA glue before I can paint them. I've no idea when that will happen though...

Maybe in the future I'll also make some loose standing stones, so I can build a bigger henge or a more historical looking one, as the circles above are definitely fantasy fare.  :)

RACKANISHU!
Awesome!

I wonder what miniatures would be good for those guys?

Stay a while, and listen!

Thanks, now I'm having flashbacks!  o_o

What's a Rakanishu?



Not a Diablo 2 refrence after all... whoops, my bad. The runes looked like D2 runes.

What is it then?

Cheers

Excellent bits and bops. Love your painting, but the irregular brick wall really is the highlight for me so far.

Thanks!
Hopefully I'll get to work on that display again in the not too distant future. I need to do all the floors on that thing before I can start detailing and painting it.

The stone circles are used by this bloke:

I'm not sure if they feature beyond the first game though...
