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.

This is posted a lot later than originally intended. So far I have stuck reasonably to the plan raised in December with the following painted to end of March. 1              COC Byakhee 23           Darkest Africa – Mainly Masai 10           US WW2 Yanks – The remainder have base coats just need finishing. 29            DnD creatures include a couple of terrain pieces 63           Total No zombies but that is not a surprise, started to get distracted on a few side projects such as moderns (africa), and 1980's cold war gone hot, but to date I have resisted. To end of June I am aiming for more of the same with Masai and WW2 yanks mixed in with some fantasy stuff (Demon, slimes and jellies and Ants are ready to go with the bas...

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...

The Hawkeye Initiative I actually quite like this idea. Comic book females redrawn as Hawkeye to see if the pose is reasonable or not. Certainly shows up the continued flaws with Rob Leifeld's work (see below) which I find laughable compared to my favorites from the dawn of comics.

A quick photo post of the Alan the Wicker Man by Ainsty casting . On the base is a 28mm Citadel yokel to give an indication of scale, base is scratch built.

Last post for the year in total I have managed 154 figures, virtually three every week despite a lot of travel with work (over 20 outbound flights this year). I also managed to mainly stick to projects in hand and not buy many figures. I have the otherworld miniatures indiegogo figures but still waiting the second batch. I love these figures and would have bought more if not put off by the delays with the indiegogo delivery. So totals for the year are:- Call Of Cthulhu 37 Darkest Africa 8 Mahdists 4 USA WW2 12 Modern Zombies 4 Fantasy RPG 89 154 The call of cthulhu stuff is mainly 1920's adventurers which I finished off, but also include a few monsters, pictures will follow.   Gaiming wise apart from SEEMS I played in 6-8 games including WW2 skirmish using the TWAT rules and a Sudan TSATF, which I negected to take pictures of....
