I like that knight the shield is a winner.

That's a nice job on the bugbear and the knight's shield is top class!

Thanks, all!

Here's a C16 orc (in Gygaxian colours again):

He does seem to have a terrible case of pink-eye. Maybe he hasn't been keeping his claws as clean as he should?

The Old Orc has a wonderfully expressive face. I love the eyes. VERY WELL DONE!

Lots of great things here. The rusty armour and weaponry on the orcs is really well done.

Thanks, all! (And yes, I suspect his hygiene's pretty suspect. Can't say much for his dentist's standards either ...)

Here's a Ral Partha hobgoblin. I bought three of them on eBay a year or two ago, largely on a whim. It's taken me a while to decide what to do with them, but I've hit on the idea of homogenising my hobgoblins for D&D through colour scheme alone. So this guy gets the same blue snout and orange skin/fur as various others I have from Essex, Citadel, Acropolis and Grenadier. Those are all to be rebased on the same square bases (both for wargames and because it brings their feet to the same height as slotta-based models).

Some hastily rebased hobgoblins to match the new guy. These fellows played merry hell with the party in our Keep on the Borderlands game yesterday; the adventurers are currently cowering in a hollow, one shot through the leg with a crossbow, another with crushed ribs from a trap and all hardly daring to breathe ...

And some hastily painted - and even more hastily photographed - Reaper Bones troglodytes for this afternoon's session!

The colours and blending on the Trogs are amazing.

Thanks, Ragnar!

Another player joined our online D&D group on Friday, so a new miniature was required for today's session. I got this elf done this morning after our lockdown-permitted bike ride, so this is about as fast as speed painting gets. He doesn't look much in the photos, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well he stood out on the table.

Oh, he's lots of fun. Contrast paints?

Thanks! Only a little bit and - used 'conventionally' as washes - to shade the crest and the sword hilt. Otherwise, it's all standard basecoat/wash/highlight stuff.

Nice!  What's your recipe for speed painting his armour plates?  There's a good amount of shine which I like the look of.
