Those monks look very nice, but your basing is FANTASTIC! 

Care to share your method/materials?

Here's some more monks. It's the last batch of pious fellas I'll bother you with for now. It's still great fun to paint these minis after having been working on rather colourful Chaos miniatures lately. And by the way. One of these chaps is, strictly speaking, not a monk. The one with a shield and mace is  my good old friend the Cleric from Citadel's Adventurer Starter Set from '85. Perhaps the first mini I ever painted!

Concerning the basing. It's rather basic really. I glue sand to the base, paint the sand a dark, rich brown and dry brush the base with a continously ligther mix of dark brown and light beige or "bone colour". The rocks on the bases are highlighted further into pure beige with some white in it. To finish the whole thing I add some tufts and flock.


Sorry for the blurry Photo by the way. I'm having some problems with my lighting at the moment.

Cheers and happy New Year!

More excellence! It's refreshing to see that you are not adhering to the usual fantasy stereotypes and plumping for some unusual subjects. May I ask what you intend to do with them game-wise?

[DeafNala]

SPLENDID WORK! The Good Brothers & their better prepared Padre are painted & based in FINE fashion...AND EXCELLENT color choices.

The owl and the monks are very, very nice.

Thanks for the comments!

The monks will serve in a scenario in our ongoing Oldhammer campaign. They inhabit the small monastery of St Gotthart’s Freude located on the south eastern slopes of the Black Mountains far from any major town or settlement. The scenario, entitled “Marktag Bloody Marktag” is a story of fierce revenge. After the monks of St Gotthart banished the vampire Walther von Löwe to the Chaos Wastes his lover, Anna Lustig – also a vampire – and the necromancer Peter Luther (von Löwe’s right-hand man and now Anna’s new romantic companion) seek their revenge. They plan to slaughter as many monks as possible, burn the shrine of St Gotthart and steal the relics stored on the altar to use them in their black magick. By nightfall the undead attack the small monastery and it is now up to a handful of adventurers, some knights passing through, a band of dwarfs returning home from a failed mining expedition and a diplomat along with his armed escort to defend the monks and themselves against the undead assailants.

Nice idea for that scenario. And that picture of Bryan Ansell

Very nice work on the monks.

My latest effort. The Green Silme released by Ral Partha in 1992 (I think) in their AD&D line. Perhaps not the best slime creature ever sculpted but I like it. The paint job is fairly simple and straight forward but it as fun to work with the yellowish-green blending. Any thoughts?

Cheers

Hey!
I like the slime very much. Especially the contrast to the superbly painted base.

Keep the pictures coming

LOVELY! Despite the less savory notions associated with a slime, your creation is a BEAUTY...GREAT brushwork & appropriate color choices. VERY WELL DONE!

[warburton]

Looks good: perhaps a liberal coat or two of gloss varnish would set it off...?

[MartinShamutantis]

Thanks. Glad you like (the) slime...

Actually the thing is coated heavily with gloss but my lighting while taking the picture somehow killed the effect. But thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Positively ectoplasmic!  Well done.
