Twas the Knight before the Night before the Night before Christmas...

 

A Death Knight that is! (bohahahahaaaaaa). OK all puns aside, this dude is a GW Oldhammer Vampire Counts Lich. This model I have slightly modified in order to make it more wraith like so that it appears to hover in the air rather than stand on legs. Its taken some time to paint as I always got some way along completing the paint job and then would put it down. And now its finally finished!

Its almost here. Just a few more sleeps.......

Otherworld Miniatures Standing Gargoyle

 

Here another thing that can animate to scare your players. This thing is an Otherworld Miniatures Gargoyle (Standing). Its a superb miniature, nicely balanced with the wings affixed, and its currently on sale from Otherworld Miniatures if you want one. I highly recommend it!

Might even get another one myself.

Reaper Miniatures Stone Lurker

 

This dude was just too cool not to have one. Its a Reaper Miniatures Stone Lurker (the plastic version). A nice cheap mini to cause chaos and confusion amongst your players when the stalagmite they are hiding behind suddenly comes to life. Not that I would eeeeevvvvveeeerrrrr do that to my players.

I envision this creature "eats" by crushing its victims in its stony maw at the top of its "head" and then leaving the mushy, wet mass that results to slowly seep into the creature. Its slow metabolism means that it only needs to "eat" once every few months or years, depending on the size of its last meal. Hence it can sit dormant for ages before suddenly animating and reaching out to grab a victim.

Reaper Miniatures Anubis Guard

 

I needed some last minute statue decorations for our next game of D&D and I realised that I had these two Anubis Guards from Reaper Miniatures hanging around in my pile of unpainted shame. So out they came for a quick paint job.

Done and dusted! Just in time too for this weekend's game.

Wood Troll by Eureka Miniatures

 

Been making some painted test examples for my force of Woodling Creatures for role playing. This dude comes from Eureka Miniatures and is a Wood Troll from their 10mm fantasy range. I think it works pretty well for role playing as the image above should show.

Pretty simple to paint too. I went with a black base coat spray. Followed by a dark brown wet brush. When dry, this was followed by with a dry brush of light grey. I then washed it in Agrax Earthshade wash. Easy!

I used flock on the foliage areas of the miniature, but you could just paint that green if you prefer.

Time to paint some more of them.

Another Vivimancer monster

 

What does some wire from paper clips, a little green stuff, leftovers from a Mantic Zombie and some hot glue-gun glue get you? Another Vivimancer monster for D&D.

So this thing will be able to extend is limbs in a whip like fashion doing damage up to near/close range and granting at least two attacks per round, although it could use one of its legs also at a pinch. Its tough, sinew flesh will grant it some damage reduction from non-magical weapons. I may even make it able to climb walls easily.

Warmaster Mercenary Ogres ready for battle

 

My hoard of Warmaster Mercenary Ogres is finally completed and on the battle field!

These are the latest recruits to the Ogre Merc's.

One final unit of Bull Ogre Warriors.

A Butcher (Wizard) with walking food pantry and halfling cook assistants.

A Bruiser (Hero) to assist command on the field.

And the Ogre Tyrant (General) for the mercenary band.

Ready for battle. I can feel a battle report coming soon.
