Helping Hands 11 - Spear Merc



Eleventh  of the monthly posting of the other world Henchman in conjunction with Duke of the Blood Keep and Minis by Finch Only one more to do plus of course the obligatory group shot.

 Counting my fantasy adventurers the other day I realized I had nearly 100 painted so in theory I never need to paint another one as in all likelihood I will be using no  more than 10 at one time.

 The spear armed Merc has the same armour as the last one but this time for the flesh I have used the foundry 3 stage flesh triad that I picked up at salute and quite like this morning (I hated it last night). 

 I nearly missed the deadline this month despite having completed most of this figure a month or two ago. Overall this is only the second figure I have painted this month compared to 25 in January when I finished my Yanks. Hopefully my painting enthusiasm will kick start as I have loads to do with two new projects ready to be painted, mainly ECW and Lion Rampant WOTRs. 

 This of course ignores all the fantasy stuff I have to do and modern zombies etc. And of course I am aiming to get enough undead done by Christmas in time for Dragon Rampant.

He looks great and ready for adventure, for some reason mine came out looking rather bored!

Helping Hands 3

Third of the monthly posting of the other world Henchman in conjunction with Duke of the Blood Keep and Minis by Finch This time it's the turn of the poor donkey, carrying an excess of adventurer baggage. I have tried feathering the body of the donkey with the intention of showing up the texture of the hairs but I am uncertain how effective it is. Similarly with the white underbody, I am wondering if I have gone too far down the legs. As a bonus I painted the Cerepod (or Grell for the original Fiend Folio), the poor donkey is doomed. The Cerepod is painted in similar colours to the one on the otherworld site which having looked up its entry in the Fiend Folio are not strictly speaking authentic! In addition ahead of starting on my Drow and Driders I have test painted two old GW Demonettes. Clearly the grey one is the test paint (however stupidly I forgot to note which grey I started with), the pink one was to try out some new paints. I tried something
