Grumbling Grognard's Pics

A trio of resin carniverous plants of unknown manufacture that I found on eBay with a modest repaint:




My polar bears have arrived along with my igloos and my snowcat/snow crawler so maybe I will shift to making my snow terrain and just paint a bear or two...  we will see where the old man's mood takes him tonight...

I have not seen many of them coloured-in.
 

I like the colour scheme you have chosen.

You've done a SPLENDID job on both the Stump & Mushroom Fiends...BEAUTIFULLY painted in a FINE selection of colors. VERY WELL DONE!
I did those years ago. They may very well be the source of my own Tree/Stump/Mushroom Creatures. It's always nice to have some one to blame.

Thanks guys, esp for the link to more plants.

The cloak's "color" on the nuns is quite unique and I doubt I could "reproduce" it.     They started as red...then were blue...then I decided...purple....then I said to hell with it and did them in a black wash hoping some of the color would still show and...it worked.   Yeeeaahhh...  I planned it that way, like I always do.  

edit: I should note these were a joy to paint-repaint.  They were such that they were all folds, etc and washing, inking were a joy.

These are just too cool not to use in every game possible.  I think they may appear in the depths of the artic for Strange Aeons...

A pair of very old Heritage figures I found on eBay.  I have had 2 others since the late 1970s that are also posted here and painted by myself in oil based paints many, many moons ago.   These I tried to do in as arse-ugly paint scheme-combo as I could imagine.  My 19 year old son suggested the veins which helped as otherwise they were just too "tame".   I am still not sure I like the way they came out...


(i have since based them btw  )

How nostalgic.  That Grunch sculpt was the very first miniature I ever painted.

I had to whip up a race of critters for my new evil-looking plants.  I wanted something both, scary, unique, and immobile.  I think this will work, but to be honest, I have not tried it out yet so "balance" (always vastly over-rated IMO) cannot be warranted whatsoever.  

As always, this is also posted in my gallery here on the site as well.

I love the evil plants entry- that's a solid idea and a terrific horror trope. (Evil Dead, Wizard of Oz, exc.)

Nice idea.
I really like the 'surprise' element.
