Beefcakes Fantasy May 2024

thanks all. Been working on some tre manor orcs most recently. 9 to do 5 almost finished. Also been sculpting a giant centipede.

[DeafNala]

You've got quite a nice assortment of new additions. All your creations are, as always, VERY WELL DONE!
I'll look forward to your next update.

And here it is.
Orcs by tre manor.
I decided not to opt for the typical greenskins look and to be honest I think I prefer them without green skin. At least these ones specifically. Still 4 more to paint.

Nice work beefcake!  I really like the skin tone.  How large are those orc models?  I would appreciate any size comparison photos you feel inclined to post.

Those orcs are look scary. Love this kind of thread.

Ask and you shall receive... most of the time.
based on a 25mm round base basically a little taller than a human (depending on your scale) but stooped so a lot more imposing. This particular one is 29mm to the eyes. The boss is based on a 40mm base and larger still. (He's the one with 2 weapons)

LOOKIN' GOOD! The minis are COOL & the paint jobs are SPLENDID...GREAT WORK!

Here's a djinn I painted. Took me about 45mins start to finish. Still needs basing. I mixed frostbite blue with elf flesh to get a grey flesh tone which I think works quite well. I didn't use any washes on the blue and a small amount of armour wash on the skin, very watered down.

Finished some Hasslefree Evil Dwarves. Some of the few dwarves I have in my collection, just one of those races that doesn't really hit it with me. The odd one I like for an adventurer or something like that but en masse I'm not really a fan. So these 5 were finished in a day. Really quick just a white undercoat followed by a metallic spray then details picked out and highlights and washes to finish.
Also an undead ogre at the bottom as well.

The Steel Encased Grumps look TERRIFIC, speed painting notwithstanding! Being all covered in metal does kill the personality aspect of the minis. The Living Impaired Ogre, however, looks to be a merry sort AND BEAUTIFULLY painted. VERY NICELY DONE!

Thanks
Heres a lich I completed a while ago. Heartbreaker Chaz Elliot. One of my favourite old school lines.
Pretty happy how he turned out.

[DeafNala]

The Old Mostly Dead Guy painted up SPLENDIDLY...nice work on the base also. VERY WELL DONE!

[beefcake]

Thanks DeafNala.

Finished an Old World Dragon by Grenadier. Quite a fun mini to paint. Really quick as well.

Dude, that's 'scary beyond all reason' Izma from "the emporer's new groove"!



Love it Beefcake!

I had forgotten about that Old Dragon. The smaller Grenadier Dragons had a lot of character to them AND this one is no exception. He certainly pained up in an OUTSTANDING fashion. GREAT WORK!
Dragons of this size seem much more games worthy. This one would be perfect for the Mordheim Monster Hunt scenario or most any Dungeon with lower level characters.
