After a long quest I finally managed to land my hands on this:- I would suggest that this dragon is firmly based off the dragon appearing on the original monster manuel. My intention is to run a monthly progress report until he is done, starting hopefully in March with the unboxing, and work permitting the clean up. I have also managed to paint up this Grenadier Mind Flayer Not my favorite figure as I think it looks like he is dancing to some Heavy Disco, but another one off the lead pile.

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 e...

Seventh of the monthly posting of the other world Henchman in conjunction with  Duke of the Blood Keep  and  Minis by Finch   Old Citadel Giant Snail - Terrifying! Thanks to this  challenge I actually finished an otherworld figure. At the moment I am lagging behind on what I want to do, despite having nearly 2 weeks off. The squire started as a chore to get done but after breaking the back of the figure I eventually learnt to love him.Hopefully the next two in the challenge will be easier. Otherworld Evil Wizard My total figure count for 2015 is going to be 192 and has stuck to mainly to my main on going projects:- D&D Adventures 97 Darkest Africa     67 US WW2             22 Call of Cthulhu       6 Total                   192 Unfortunately  the distraction into WW2 prevented me finishing m...

Just a few more figures painted this year. Otherworld Demon Statue Otherworld Frost Giant Otherworld Water Weird

Just finished off the Otherworld giant ants. These figures are quite fragile (I snapped off one leg and an antenna) as they need the legs and antennas stuck on to the body which is not as hard as it looks, but requires some patience. The bases were a quandary, dungeon or out door. I eventually opted for outdoors with some rocks as I may also use these with may Darkest Africa stuff. Colour was quite simple, first I painted the underside GW Verrmin brown then a heavy wash of GW Agrax Nightshade. I then repeated the process for the top half. This left me with fully painted ants but to improve (hopefully) the look, I highlighted the top only with GW Vermin Brown followed by a lighter highlight of GW Vermin Brown mixed with white. Eye's are GW Regal blue with a highlight of Enchanted blue. Then add some flock and job done.

A repost of  a challnege set up by Duke of the Blood Keep and Minis by Finch  which I intend on joining in. Both sites are excellent insperation for old school gaming and painting, and on with the repsot:- For those who don’t know about Minis by Finch , it’s an excellent site full of beautifully painted minis by a chap called Finch. We’ve both admired each others work for years and I thought it would be cool to do something together, so I came up with the Helping Hand Challenge. Our aim is to paint one miniature from Otherworld’s DAB 4 boxset a month starting in June 2014 and finishing in May 2015. However, we’d like to spread the love and open this challenge out to other bloggers too, so here are the rules: You must own the DAB4 Boxset You must own a blog You must paint one miniature a month in the order shown below You must post your results on the last day of each month You must include a link to each other participating blog That...

Some recent painting Otherworld Manticore Otherworld Shambling Mound And finally a Dungeons and Dragons collectors series resin Purple Worm, which I perfer to the Otherworld ones

I recently decided to strip down an old citadel Manticore figure and repaint it. After looking at the figure I decide that the base colour was fine. To improve the paint job I washed the figure with citadel devlin wash, then highlighted with Vallejo Tan Yellow and added black to the tail and main. The original base was bland so I created a new one using pieces of flint picked up while walking the dog. I think that it is a considerable improvement over the original, which hardly looks like the same figure, A

Otherworld Hook Horror Somehow I have not posted any figure updates this year, despite my aim to post once a month. This year I have painted 53 figures but the volume has dropped off and only 1 this month so far due to real life getting in the way including plenty of work travel and a holiday in Turkey.. For this blog we have:- DnD 4 Troglodytes 8 Spiders 6 Adventurer 2 Skeleton 1 Citadel Lamia 1 Hook Horror 1 Storm Giant 1 Giant LIzard 2 Were rats 3 Otherworld adventurers Cthulhu 5 Cthulhu Creature 12 Cthulhu Adventurers On the darkest Africa front I have a very small amount:- 1 Gun Bearer 2 Masai 4 Maddhists So a few Otherworld adventurers and other pictures to make up for some missed.
