Beefcakes Fantasy May 2024

Nice work all around.  That cockatrice turned out very well.

A nice collection. I can't say I'm a fan of the big pink spider however. But that's just the arachnophobe in me that says that.

Here are FA few more additions. 6 otherworld skeletons, I still have the lich to paint and a stone troll by reaper, hellborn troll I think it a called. Also a chaos knight by chaz Elliot in the heartbreaker minis range used as an undead champ of some sort. I've been practicing with rust effects and did the whole chaos guy in rust, then I varnished and turned it patchy white so I gave it a wash of Declan mud which got rid of the white but then made it look less rust like.  
Currently on my painting table are two more heartbreaker minis by chaz, half trolls with kegs, and the lich and a skeletal dragon.
Anyway here is the latest for the dungeon.

You really did a FINE job bringing the various Lads to life...or unlife in a few instances. GREAT WORK!

[beefcake]

And some half trolls.


I absolutely love this next miniature. Lots of character, I have an urge to use him as a half orc barbarian.

And I just finished the skeletal dragon. Picture to cme as it's too late and lighting too poor to photograph it. Tried some source lighting from its rib age and eyes... It kind of came out as a pink skeletal dragon. I shall call it rainbow and I will love it to pieces and cuddle it and have tea parties with it...

It's been a LONG time since last I saw those Guys. As I remember, they were cool minis to paint...you did a SPLENDID job on them! VERY WELL DONE!

[weismonsters]

Some great stuff in this thread. Some fine dungeon tiles and bases. Im a big fan of the paint job on the cokcatrice too.

[beefcake]

Thanks again. Haven't had time for that latest photo. I think it may also be time for a family photo.

Skeletal dragon. Source lighting made it look more pink than fiery though   oh well have to try to improve. Tips would help if anyone has any. I think I need to add a lighter highlight to the centre of the ribs.

[DeafNala]

The Dragon looks TERRIFIC...the bone tones are OUTSTANDING! GREAT WORK!

For the glow: I highlight the area I want glowing with a orangish yellow (I use Americana Tangerine); once dry, I do a red wash &, when the wash is dry, re-highlight with the orangish yellow & then straight yellow.

It's been a long time but I'm resurrecting the thread for some recent stuff I've painted.

Manticore from RPE



Demilich/ghost, skull from RPE but the rest I sculpted




Smilodons (for my barbarian warband)



And some barbarians. 2 heroes and 2 shamans. From forlorn hope. One I had from ages ago when they actually were sold through grenadier, the one with the stone knife and I painted it about a year ago.




Thanks for looking

Love that manticore.
This has reminded me of D&D and a wasted youth of gaming and heavy metal.

[Braxandur]

a wasted youth of gaming and heavy metal.

Nothing about that youth sounds wasted, but rather like a youth in which you ejoyed yourself

Love the miniatures in this thread as well!

Great work on the Demolish/ghost. A good concept well executed.
