Lovely latest additions - worm guy's great, I've got him coming along as an alien trader in my 15mm sci-fi, such a good expression and pose.

Thanks!

Yes, he's a brilliant design. He's one of many figures from this 15mm RPG project with huge sci-fi skirmish potential.

Here's another of the PCs for the weekend: a lizardman crossbowman.

Cheers!

Here's one more PC - an elf. These Demonworld 15s are tremendous, but there's so much fiddly detail that they're rather a slog to paint.

more corkers! I love the lizardman. I agree on the Demonworld minis - there's a diminishing returns thing too, some of my Demonworld minis are my worst looking minis when they're more than 20cm from the eye, the detail just clutters them. Yours looks great having said that!

Overly detailed you may claim them to be, but they look mighty good from here. How the blazes you paint pupils on a 15mm I do not know, but that elf looks fantastic!

Thanks, both!

Idle Doodler, suitably thinned paint is the key to painting pupils, I always find: that and a brush with a good point. Too thick and it's dry by the time you get the brush to the figure; too thin and you end up washing the eyeball. There's a 'goldilocks' state that works. A wet palette (an ice-cream tub with a wet sponge folded inside and a bit of greaseproof paper on top) really helps.

Here's a WIP necromancer's lair for the looming Whitehack/D&D session. It'll get only a very rough and ready paint job, but will do, I think. It should work as a little evil shrine or crypt for 28mm skirmishes too.

Here's another 15mm PC for tomorrow: a Demonworld knight.

And a druid and a dwarf. All replacement PCs (after character deaths) will be dwarfs who just happen to be patrolling the underworld.

The blue skin tone works brilliantly on that dwarf!

Yes, hope the big game goes well.

A great series of updates in the past few weeks - the blue-skinned dwarf is very striking. Will they all be blueskins, or do you plan a variety of dwarven (or dwarfish) skin-tones?

Rather struggling to get anything painted myself at the moment; your regular additions are a standing encouragement...
