Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: D&D(&D))

[Little Odo]

A great selection of nicely painted undead. I especially like the subtle shades on the demogorgon.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thank you. I procrastinated for a couple of years on Demogorgon, but im the end it was an enjoyable figure to paint!


A little late, but...

Kandos, recently deceased dwarven master brewer, come to enact his doom on the kinslayers.




"Beers unnumbered ye shall spill; and the dead shall assail you to the last, so that not even the echo of your lamentation shall pass over the mountains. On the Company of Dozens lieth the wrath of Kandos, from the West unto onthe uttermost East. To evil end shall all things turn that they begin well. Ye have spilled the blood of your kindred unrighteously and have stained the ancient brewhalls. For blood ye shall render blood and perfidiously bought ale, and beyond the brewery ye shall nevermore dwell."

      - The Doom of Kandos


No offense to the work of JRRT on his birthday intended, all in good fun...

Painted the first figure from a "Life and Death" themed pair of (otherwise unrelated) figures I picked up. Guess which one this is? 

[Seditiosus]

great paintjob (also applies to everything else in this thread!)

where is it from? I do not recognize it.

[beefcake]

Cool. I painted that one a while ago too. Ral Partha Europe is where I got it from. They have another in the same vain too. The gold is brilliant.

[sir_shvantselot]

The orb is brilliant!

[bc99]

The orb is brilliant!

I concur it’s amazing!

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thank you both!

I finished the second half of my "Life and Death" duo. The concept was a priest serving each cause. As it turned out, a liche and a healer.

This started as an excuse to paint the liche. So I had to look for a suitable counterpart and found this healer from Reaper. I obviously inverted some of the major colors black/white and crimson/turquoise. But I stuck with gold baubles & accessories and matched the liche's red orb with a similar feature in the healer's staff. In hindsight, I'm wondering if I should repaint the brown "wrap" on her staff turquoise, both to add some more color and to mimic the red on the sword grip.

The healer is hard to photograph, the colors get washed out. I'm very happy with the way this pair turned out. I'm contemplating whether they each need followers or minions. I've already got plenty of generic undead. Maybe a sidekick/henchman? What to do for the healer? I do have the old Citadel Life and Death Elementals for them each to summon as well.

[Padrissimus]

Orbtastic! I wouldn't know where to start. With the painting, not the scrying!

[beefcake]

Looks amazing

[Bloggard]

marvellous as ever.

really like the bordered and vignetted photo presentation too.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks all!

Been a while since an update. Offline/work life has been busier than ever. No gaming all year, and what painting I've done has mostly shifted to sci-fi lately. But the season is upon us!

Season? Deadcember, of course!

Some Reaper Bones wraiths with the bendy weapons replaced.



I also painted my first test subject for a fantasy sidequest idea I've been considering. I'm thinking about Althammer skirmishes in the new world. (Not my best painting...)

[Pattus Magnus]

The wraiths look the part - very nice job on the glowing bits!

I like the idea behind the skeleton, kind of a meso-american undead vibe. Seems like a good premise for a force.

Father Trollsmas, give us the fungi
We'll beat you up if you make us annoyed

Don't mess around with those silly toys

I've been waiting all year to paint this last unpainted Satyr Art Studio (Drew Williams) troll for the holidays.

[ZeroTwentythree]

I finally painted a couple of minions for the envoy of Death from earlier this year.





Also painted the old Ral Partha hydra I received for Christmas four years ago. My wife got me the Demogorgon (painted previously) and this after we had really gotten into Stranger Things.
