Frostgrave: Werewolves

A couple of werewolves for the Frozen City - though one is actually a wererat. The wolf is a cheap Reaper Bones model, lovely sculpt. He's bigger than a standard human, so a good sized werewolf. The metal rat is probably a Games Workshop model. Got him through a trade once.

There's so many monsters in this game, most will never even be encountered.

The bases are done with miliput and a sculpting tool.

40k: Foetid Bloat-Drones

I think these are some of the coolest models I've ever owned. Dark, grim, ugly. They fit my image of the dark 40k setting perfectly.

Besides being cool looking, they are brutal on the battle field. I've no plan of running them with flesh-mowers or greater blight launchers. The plague spitter in combination with the FLY rule is a bloody combo. A must in a Death Guard army.

I've been very succesful with keeping a Herald of Nurgle nearby, buffing the strength of their weapons and healing them if injured.

I haven't done any conversion work on these models. But I have used different colours for the skin, boils and metals. And added some different stripe patterns on the front of them as well.

I have three more of these models, but I'm gonna convert them into Mythic Blighthaulers instead. Get a bunch of cool bits from them as well.

Frostgrave: Wraiths

Gonna use these models as both Wraiths, Spectres and Frost Wraiths in my games of Frostgrave. One is a Reaper Bones model (a freebie send from my hobby stuff supplier) and the other from the Water Element set of Loka Chess by Mantic Games.

I bascoated both models goblin green, gave them quick shade dip and then drybrushed with luminescent green from Vallejo. Gives are real nice glowing effekt on the skellies.

Frostgrave: Snow Trolls

Another part of the beastiary project for core game Frostgrave. Snow Trolls! One model is an old Games Workshop troll from a core box and the other is a cheap Reaper Bones model.

Painted them both with the same blue. But the bones model was primed white and the troll was already black. It was interesting to see have different the colour is depending on the base coat. Covered both trolls in snow, as I imagine the snow trolls as being cold - magical monsters and all that.

The bases are made from miliput, stone pattern and a grate on one of them.

Dungeon Saga: Skeletons

The Dungeon Saga skeletons have a very classic feel. Very thin sculpts though, not too strong. I've added some bow strings to the bows, as I always do.

For these skeletons I wanted to test the Army Painter dip to it's maximum and I decided to not even paint the bone parts of the models. This is just the bone coloured with dip straight on - it works surprisingly well. I won't do it again though, it's just a bit too easy. But after dip and matt varnish the plastic looks painted.

2017 Paint Count

Set myself a '365 models in a year' here in 2017. After June, here's my project report. Counting terrain pieces, 3d counters, scatter terrain as models as well.

January (31): 25 TWD Survivors, 5 TWD cars, 4 barricades, 1 badge = 35 (+4)

February (28): 2 TWD barricades, 1 dumbster, 2 mailboxes, 11 loot counters, 6 tents, 1 campfire, 1 tank, 21 deadzone rebs = 45 (+17)

March (31): 31 deadzone plague, 1 RV, 1 Shipping Container, 17 trees = 50 (+19)

April (30): 20 DZ marauders, 1 Chaos dwarf, 1 mercenary ogre, 1 elevator tower, 12 palettes with cargo = 35 (+5)

May (31): 30 DZ asterians, 1 elf, 1 emisarry, 1 fuel depot = 33 (+2)

June (30): 20 TWD, 1 Chaos dwarf, 6 DZ enforcers, 5 Forge Fathers, 5 Ghouls = 37 (+7)

July (31): 16 Bloodbowl Human, 2 goblins, 17 TWD = 35 (+4)

August (31): 7 Fences. 4 Haybales, 1 tractor, 2 CDs, 1 Morg N Thorgh, 1 Brokkr Chief, 2 Bomb Bots, 8 item crates, 2 Plague Drones, 1 Nurgle Bell Ringer, 20 TWD models = 49 (+18)

September (30): 24 twd, 8 FG trees, 2 houses = 34 (+4)

October (31): 1 DG Drone, 7 DG Marines, 35 Frostgrave, 7 Ulterior Motives terrain = 50 (+19)

November (30): 8 Death Guard, 1 typhus, 3 deathshroud, 1 herald of nurgle, 1 spider, 2 small construct, 1 medium construct, 4 imps, 1 mortarion, 12 cultists = 34

December (31): 24 pox walkers, 1 cultist (-7)

In all: 427 models done this year. Inlcuding smaller token models and big scratch build terrain pieces. Counting only infantry models on bases the number would be 343.

Happy new year! Next year my goal is to get BINGO!

Giant Worm

Model from Reaper Bones. Cheap and easy to paint. I actually really like this monster model and he'll be good in dungeon crawlers as well.

He's primed Necrotic Flesh from Army Painter, had the little boils done in red. After quick shade varnish I've given the entire models a layer of Nurgles Rot. He looks really slimey.

Another part of the Frostgrave Beastiary done. Giant worms also make an appearance in This Is Not A Test.
