Mummies

 These lads are from Reaper Miniatures Bones line and are their cheap plastic models.

I painted them is the quickest possible manner: base coat in White Spray, ink in Agrax Earthshade. Simple! I tossed up the idea of painting their eyes, however they just seemed good enough as is for our D&D game, so I have left them alone. I have more of these in metal and will give the contrast paints go next time to compare the two. Once I get that done, I'll post about it as a way of comparison.

On to the next paint job.

Raston Warrior Robots

These come from Black Tree Design Miniatures.

Simple and sweet. Just a heavy dry brush of Gun Metal over a Chaos Black base. The heads are done with Silver. Easy! I did bend the arm of one of them to differentiate between the miniatures so that it looks like its pointing its hand weapon.

Letting Zygons be Zygons

 So lets discuss Zygons, shall we?

The dudes (? you can never tell with Zygons!) on the left are from Black Tree Design Miniatures, the ones of the right are from Warlord Games, Exterminate line of miniatures.

Perusing the interwebs for a decent colour image of the Zygons shattered my illusions from childhood (Terror of the Zygons! Soooo goood!) that they were orange in colour.

Seems they are more of a Rakath Flesh tone with more red highlights than orange. So I base coated these in Chaos Black. Wet brushed them Rakath Flesh. Inked them in Reikland Flesh Shade, and then finally gave them a drybrush of red (can't remember what type of red sorry).

These lads are a little too sunburnt though...

I expected the Warlord Games miniature to be larger than the Black Tree miniature, but this was not the case. So I ended up basing the Warlord miniature on a standard 25mm round base to bring them to the same height as the Black Tree miniatures.

Beach bums!

Still think they should be orange!

Research Daleks

Research (i.e. Engineer) Daleks

I had it in my head that I wanted to make a specific group of Daleks that were dedicated to scientific research. These Daleks would need a different colour scheme to my other Daleks and so I decided to go with white in mimicry of them wearing white lab coats.

These are the Engineering Daleks from Black Tree Miniatures line of Classic Doctor Who.

I used Citadel White to paint them. Unfortunately I don't think that their white paint is the best as you can see from the photo's. Their "white" lab coat ends up looking the same tone as my old lab coat.

Mind you, my white paint tin may be getting a little old. So I will have to try buying a new one and give these fella's a little touch up. Overall, I think the paint scheme works OK and they are easily recognized from the other Daleks on the table. Now, on to the next project!
