Very nice, both paint and sculpt.
 :-*

Here's a new one, I've just finished a special piece. This is the first sculpt ever from a 17yo friend who's started the hobby a couple of years ago. For some reason, he's opted for an oldschool vibe and I find it plenty of charm. Since he's had it moulded and cast, I had to paint my own copy so here it is :

I really like the old skool vibe he has.
He looks like a right moody, crotchety sod.

Your Ogre is a GORGEOUS piece...BEAUTIFULLY painted in a FINE array of colors. You've come a long ways in the last 24 years. VERY WELL DONE!

AND the Dwarf is a GREAT miniature once again BEAUTIFULLY painted. His expressive face really makes the mini..."wait until I get my hands on the So&So who stole my boots!". The sculpting & brushwork are WONDERFULLY WELL DONE!

Great Dwarf! Has the right level of misanthropy about him.

I like the Ogre as well.  It's reminded me that I have a group of old Heroquest Ogres stuck in the attic somewhere and it may have inspired me to paint them at some point!

@DeafNala : Well THANK YOU ! ^^
@Garanhir : thanks you sir
@Sir_Theo : Well the BM ogre and the HQ chaos sorcerer have proven me that even monopose monstrosities can provide painting pleasure !

Now since Deadcember is upon us, I thought I'd add my modest rotten contribution to it with the most humble of undead folks : a zombie.

For a quick job, it sure is a good one!

The fact that he happens to be one of my all-time favourite miniatures from my all-time favourite Zombie range is an added bonus.

If anyone can make 'gruesome' and 'wonderful' fit in the same sentence (and make sense), that is you. Great work, hats off!

The old Kev Adams zombies are lovely figures. The problem with them is that once you paint one you want to paint them all. Cracking paint job on Peck Gregri.

Very gruesome. Reminds me that I have a handful of the old zeds, somewhere.

Here's a couple of Vampires that will serve as Wizard and apprentice for future Frostgrave games and leaders for an Undead Mordheim band as well.
I'm keeping the theme tidy so I'm likely to use models from all kinds. We'll see where it leads.



More about them in the blogpost.
