F orth of the monthly posting of the other world Henchman in conjunction with  Duke of the Blood Keep  and  Minis by Finch   The miniature is the scribe, reviewing the ritual from the ancient tomb won at some cost to the party. I have struggled to get anything done this month with only 2 figures painted and I did not think I would finish this on, although it could be argued he still needs a bit of work. Slightly different bases colour this month using Deneb Stone in my quest to get the colours light enough to show the figure up.

This time out I have varied my flesh mix using a Vallejo paints including medium flesh. The result is a much lighter flesh finish than I usually do. but one I quite like. The basket work was completed with a simple wash of GW agrax earth shade which I am conscious of using far too much

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 ...

OK, somehow I have had a very productive 6 months with 142 figures painted YTD, more than some year. July has suffered with only four but hopefully August will improve. Anyway in Q2 I finished:- 1             Modern Zombie 33               Darkest Africa – Mainly Masai 45              DnD creatures include a couple of terrain pieces 79          Total DnD creatures include most of the otherworld slimes, the giant ants, otherworld dungeon treasures and a few Gothic horror types including yet another vampire. May look to finish of my Masai (only 20 to go) or my Familiars, Drow and Driders next. Once my enthusiasm returns. A

Second 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 animal handler, with a front and back shot. His only weapon appears to be the wooded stick so he better be lucky when delving.  Bit more care taken on the face this time out and hopefully it shows. 

The first of the monthly  posting of the other world Henchman in conjunction with  Duke of the Blood Keep  and  Minis by Finch Quite a simple paint job with the face not looking as good close up as the impression on the table,something to improve I feel.

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