Thanks! The Alternative Armies dogmen are pretty good gnolls, I think - especially if you don't mind them heavyset (which I don't - you'd expect a hyena-man - and especially a hyena-woman - to be more robust-looking than a goat-man or a wolf-man.)

I assembled a couple of Frostgrave snakemen the other night and am going to have a go at speed-painting them tonight. Great models, I reckon: the lack of tail, which perturbed me at first, works just fine.

I'm going to try two techniques at the same time - black gesso drybrushed grey and white to be tinted with colours; and black, base colours and silver-grey drybrushing.

Here's where I'm starting:

Looking forward to seeing how these come out, the dry brushed one really shows there is a lot of detail in the models.

Yes, they've got plenty of detail and nicely distinct scales.

Here they are with rough base colours (no metals yet on the one that's getting drybrushed with silver-grey).

And some drybrushing and metal on the blue one. Just washes, details and bases now.

Still a fair bit to do to them, but they're coming together. I'm calling it a night now!

Very nice! You've done those snake men proud. And the comparative WIP pictures are very useful and informative.

Congratulations on 100 pages of thread, btw! Keep them coming...

Indeed!
A wonderful thread, full of great figures from various eras that I keep coming back to.
Please do keep going.

all good, and I do think you've done justice to the snakemen - they're excellent figures

Many thanks, all!

There's still a good bit to do on the snakemen: pupils for the eyes, highlights on the armour, bases and a lot of general tidying up. But I reckon an hour or so this evening will get them over the line.

Here are the finished snakemen. They're pretty rough and ready, but they'll do. I'm going to try the next few with white undercoats.

Thise snakemen are so cool!

Your paintjob is fitting and looks great!

Great work there - the eyes in particular are most effective.

Looking forward to the white undercoat versions. Hope you can show us some WIP shots for those too!  :)

Thanks! Yes, will do.

Here are a couple of speed-painted scorpions for some weekend Whitehack.
