Deviant Designs Deeds

Painted on the back of a colour suggestions from a GW employee, but underocated white for a change. Bases are resin castings bought of the web.

 A photo update of the kobolds completed over the last two weeks, depite being away working in Paris for 3 days and two trips to London.  Plus a previously painted, Minataur, Owlbear and Demon

Bob bought down one of the GW resin fine cast figures to the SEEMS club, which although well painted did not look like it was worth the £10 retail. Certainly I did not see enough extra detail to excite my interest. Incidentally he proved the non shaterability of the figure by nonchalantly throwing onto the table (covered by a thin cloth). I was glad to say it survived. Unfortunately they ran a game of Orcs Vs Elves, looked like the elves won quite easily. I say unfortunately as I was tempted once again to the dark side, I must resist, to finish of my empire (or undead) and play this game, which I have enjoyed for a number of years.

Over the last two weeks I have been very busy so the hobby side has hit the back burner. I have been working on some bases for my studio miniatures zombies. I am currently filing the bases supplied with model clay which hardens in 24hrs and either marking some groves to represent paving slabs or topping with sand to represent ash felt. The Z is then removed from his slotta tab and pinned to the base before undercoating. Additionally I have been painting up some otherworld Kobolds which I built and based some time ago. The figures were stuck to the usual slotta base and then the base was covered with non branded wall filler. I then cut some random groves in the base to represent stone work before undercoating. The figures are quite nice but come with separate hands/arms and can be quite fiddly to stick together. Mark (wardy-la) mentioned he liked this figure so here’s a painted version done some time ago . I have also taken delivery of a bag of Cthulhu and plan on painting a few o...

Managed to finish most of the uncompleted stuff on my desk this week plus a few extras. Firstly Darkest Africa explorers painted some time ago. The balance of the Darkest Africa women explorers   An old school Citadel Elf Mage Citadel Hook Horror which I have had since it was released in the 80's A couple of citadel snakes off of ebay a few months ago, followed by two Vampire Wars wolfs, quite possibly to be used for mordhiem as part of the undead warband. And finally my last batch of metal saxons, with Gripping Beast shield transfers, blended in with a bit of paint (you can just see the line where the transfer ends on the blue shield). Now I just need to decide on one project

What with otherworld miniatures ( http://www.otherworld.me.uk/store.html ) having a 20% off sale and my eclectic painting table I thought I would pin down exactly what my projects/targets are for 2011. Projects I want to complete but I have no idea what I will do with them once I have a significant number of figures painted Otherworld/D&D painting is a childhood project which now my painting standard has improved I feel capable of making some steps with. No idea what I will do with the figures once they are painted though. Just know I am buying them faster than I am painting. I will add to this my collection of Dark Sun figures which I would like to paint some time. Modern zombie apocalypse, been working on this with the odd Z for numerous year, now there are loads of rule sets and figures available I should really finish off the 44 I have, giving me around 100 z’s,   my biker gang and a few others. Mordheim, sort of ties in with D&D, need to finish a warband or 3, Un...

The proof of my inability to focus is on the painting table. The following 75% finished figures, 3 Saxons, 2 modern zombies, 3 Darkest africa, 1 Elf mage (who has been there at least 4 months).   Also one modern character in a wheelchair (a very welcome gift), one sudan mounted dervish, 1 acw figure (think he is there as I found him on the floor), 2 snakes, 2 wolfs a vampire and a dreg (for mordheim). That ignores anything within reaching distance..... Anyway a picture of a recent darkest Africa female explorer,
