Beefcakes Fantasy May 2022

Your new additions to The Cause are SPLENDID LOOKING Nasties. That BIG Heresy Worm Fellow is one of the pieces I'd be unable to resist if it was more readily available. GREAT WORK!

I also just splurged on some Other World minis. Architects of War put them on sale with free shipping; that, combined with a pathetic lack of will power, ensured a purchase. At any rate their minis look WONDERFUL...enjoy the painting!

Don't you hate it when you look at the mini and notice that you have missed a spot. Only one eye amongst the lot of these guys and I missed it. GRRR. Still really happy with how they turned out.

It's part of the Diabolical Nature of Cameras that they pick out little flaws in the finest of paint jobs. My own Demonically Possessed Camera of Continual Contrariness II further makes matte colors appear glossy & modifies the coloration in a disturbing manner...I'm certain it also makes faces at me when I'm not looking.

That spider is wicked looking. Very good skills here.

Thanks all.

There are some giant slimy flatworms here, that wrap around their prey and slowly digest them alive.

That tunnel dweller is truly horrible (in the nicest possible way).

Thanks Paul.
I'll be getting a load of worms with my assimilation host from troll forged later so unfortunately don't need those worms. They wood be fun though 

[beefcake]

Right. It's been a while but I've managed to get a bit of paintng done lately, here are some red box goblins. Small little guys on 20mm bases. Not amazing paint jobs on them but they do the trick.
I've made these guys into a song of blades and heroes warband with the giant as a big guy support - just makes them look a bit scarier. The giant is from reaper but also by tre manor.


Got to stop taking photos with my iPad, it's useless, I think from now I'll go back to the trusty camera.


Next up is an old cockatrice. Ral partha I think. Currently on the painting table.

Thanks scurv, easy to paint.
I finished this dragon yesterday (and started it yesterday too) also finished the cockatrice today too. Next up is a heresy blight hero and then probably some otherworld skeletons.

Nice work Beefcake. The giant and gobbo's look great. Loving the Dragon I need to get me a Dragon at some point

[DeafNala]

NICE PROGRESS! Giant, Goblins, & Dragon all are LOOKING GOOD! I especially like the Giant; the Dragon brings back memories...I did that Grenadier mini more times than I'd care to think about; AND the Goblins are, as always, COOL. GREAT WORK!

[beefcake]

Thanks guys.
Brummie, this is only the second dragon I have owned, the first was when I was eleven and is now long gone, except for one arm. Dragons seem to be the creature most associated with fantasy yet aren't really bought like other fantasy creature. Probably due to their size I guess.
Here's the cockatrice checking out some fine fine glitter.

Lovely and inspiring stuff in this thread - I'm particularly enthralled with the pink spider...suuuuper creepy looking. 

[Quendil]

Making great progress with all the beasties

[DeafNala]

That is a TERRIFIC mini; I love the colors you chose & the brushwork is OUTSTANDING. VERY WELL DONE!

He looks like he's waiting for something to emerge from behind the Glitter...possibly Elton John or Richard Simmons.

"Behold the cockatrice, whose diminutive stature belies its hidden might. The cockatrice can petrify any ordinary being it contacts - save those wise adventurers who eat a dead lizard or blob of acid when they feel themselves slowly turning to stone."

Well better than eating a live lizard. This one isn't so diminutive it's about the same height, maybe a little smaller than your average 28mm miniature.
