Elbows' Fantasy Thread : Warhammer Quest!

[Elbows]

A result from cleaning up the hobby table...sorry the pic is again too dark.



A "scarecrow" who'll serve as a dungeon beastie, automaton, golem, etc.  I decided to go with some blood instead of straw for his innards.  Love the figure. It's a Wyrd miniature from Malifaux.

Ooh, that's wicked!

Weird! I like it, reminds me of a monster from one of the Warhammer short stories in the Marius Thulmann witch hunter series by C L Werner. Great thread, lots of dungeon crawl inspiration here.

[Too Bo Coo]

Very cool Mate!

Finally got over my painter's block and finished the twelve Ratmen...didn't enjoy painting these guys.  Glad they're done.

But they look good. Like your paint style mate.

[Elbows]

Thanks, I had some motivation in the form of a couple of cowboys I'm desperate to paint (sitting behind them in the queue).  I have a couple more fantasy figures to paint up, but I'm actually narrowing down most of what I wanted...probably going to pick up some more terrain bits.  Then perhaps I could actually start on the damn game! 

[ZeroTwentythree]

I agree, they look good. I like the shield choice, too.

[DeafNala]

The Rat Guys look TERRIFIC despite being a pain to paint...GREAT brushwork & some nice color choices do their thing. I would never have though of Cowboys as a motivating factor, but different strokes & all that. VERY WELL, if reluctantly, DONE!

[Devoted of Slaanesh]

Well I would love to see a battle report than.

Trying to finish up some stuff I have laying around.







An Otherworld pack mule I've had assembled/based/primed sitting on the table for over a year, and a Thief I cobbled together from some Frostgrave sprues I took in on trade.  Threw some armored skeletons together using Perry foot knights, Wargames factory heads and GW arms.  Will probably do at least 5-6 more of these guys at some point.  Didn't love painting them oddly (I like Perry plastics but the detail is a little soft and makes painting/dipping less effective.

[Constable Bertrand]

The mule is great Elbows

As an aside, which plastic skelly do you prefer for fantasy gaming/dungeon crawls? WGF or GW VC?

Cheers

Hmmm...tough question.  The GW are way too...GW for me?  I hesitated to even use the weapons on those figures (their weapons are gigantic).  I definitely prefer the Wargames Factory guys, but they're super spindly and annoying to assemble (and I'm always afraid of breaking them).

My biggest beef with the GW skeletons is that they don't make a lot of sense.  They're nice plastics and I may use some heads and bits now and then...I may take a swing at using some torsos.  However, they're a skeleton unit with flare which seems weird.  To me, skeletons would be re-animated warriors from other armies...vs. animated skeletons adorning their shields etc. with - wait for it - more skulls and undead stuff! 

In an ideal world I'd just use Otherworld metal skeletons - they're wonderful.

I like the kit bashed skeletons. They do look like they are raised adventurers.

[Mo!]

Really like the skellies!!! Great stuff all around!
