Elbows' Fantasy Thread : Warhammer Quest!

[Corporal Chaos]

Outstanding collection and painting!

[Kyusumu]

They look great!  Thanks for sharing, I always draw some inspiration from your work Elbows 

I love the jumping figure, great character on that one.  Would be great fun to plop that down on a few surprised characters and watch their faces 

[Elbows]

Trying to make the most of my current unemployment...it's time for some more bad guys.  I decided I wanted to bump my groups of minions by a handful for each group (make sure to have around 12 or so).


Four more ghouls/zombies


Four more men-at-arms


Some more piles o' bones and a small pedestal with baddie magic book


A rather gigantic weapon cabinet...but I have it, so I'll use it (it stands about twice the height of the average figure!)


And some jail cell doors I quickly constructed out of plasticard bits


And...one poor prior occupant.

Those dungeon pics on page 9! 

Super cool project, great to see you got back at this.

[Elbows]

I'll try to do another fun photo shoot when I set up my table for Saturday.  See if I get any other figures done tonight.  My goal for the end of the year is 50 figures painted...so I have some work to do, but I think it's possible.  Depends on how soon I get back into a job.

COOL STUFF! I LOVE the Skeleton hanging through the bars. GREAT WORK, one & all!

[Constable Bertrand]

Great use of your extra time Elbows, those guys look great. the one suck in the bars gave me a laugh

Best of luck finding something.

Cheers

And some more stuff knocked out while it's rainy and cold here.


Some Ratmen from GW Skaven figures...added wicker shields and de-spiked/de-horned most of them.  Not in love with the way the colour scheme ended up, but I only have to do eight more, so I'll probably leave it.


A handful more spiders to flesh out my henchmen groups (12 spiders now)


And a terrible Bones figure that I almost binned.  Some skeletal king or something, I did him up as a Wraith but the detail was quite bad...and it took paint even worse.  If I hadn't finished him, I'd have tossed him.  Now that he's done he can stay and skulk around in the dungeon looking stupid and ugly.

[Too Bo Coo]

I REALLY like the undead king guy!  And your paint really made him pop!

[Reed]

I particularly liked the spiders. Where are they from?

I believe they are Reaper Miniatures - Bones Spiders

Nice stuff Elbows. Maybe Thanksgiving weekend we can finally get in a dungeon crawl game if you aren't out of town.

[Elbows]

Unfortunately I think I may be out of town that weekend.  We'll see!

PS: Yes, they're the small Bones spiders, come two to a pack.  They're on 25mm bases for scale reference.

[Kyusumu]

They look great Elbows!  Lots of character and I've always been a fan of how you base your figures.  The color scheme and bases always mesh well.

It makes me feel better to know that I'm not the only one who has issues with some of the Bones figures, I've definitely also struggled with some of them.  But for all of that, regardless the figure you completed still looks good and definitely table ready.

[Elbows]

Yeah, I stand by my opinion...the smaller they are, the worse they are.  The spiders are Bones but are forgivable because they have zero detail and I paint them in under a minute or two.  And they're just spiders, but smaller more detailed characters suck in Bones.  On the flip side the Bugbears from the last page are Bones as well but they're twice the size of the skeletal king and they worked a treat.

I'm willing to "try" plenty of stuff in Bones because it's so cheap and I still always look for big monsters in the material.  Overall, not a huge critique, that skeletal king was just one of the worst minis I've ever painted. 

[Elbows]

Ready for the most boring update yet!  Terrain!



I'm in the process of "cleaning up" the hobby table, so I've got some dungeon stuff sitting in the wings patiently waiting as I tackle a bunch of bits and bobs that have been sitting on my desk (some Battletech trucks, some gladiator tokens, etc.)  More to come in the next week I hope!
