Holy Vindicator (55 of 400)

Well, it's the first miniature of 2017.  One of many paladin-esque figures in the Bones series.  This guy has a lot of use as a fighter/cleric/paladin/noble.  I liked the look of his armor a lot, even as the cape is a bit much.

It's time to really get to work knocking these guys out.  Maybe 2017 will be my year for that.

Plague Rat (54 of 400)

Another month, and another miniature done.  At this rate I'll be painting them for another thirty years!  I definitely need to get on the stick here.  But at least this little fellow turned out okay, although I was thinking maybe I ought to have made him all one color, like a naked mole rat.  But this looks appropriately gross enough, and I'm pretty sure there's another one running around in there if I want to do something different next time.

P.S. Merry Christmas!

Hellhound (53 of 400)

It has been months since I posted to this blog, not because I haven't been painting miniatures, but I haven't been painting Reaper Bones miniatures from my various Kickstarters.  Well, that ends today with this Hellhound.

He turned out pretty well, although I think the bone spikes in the middle of the flames are a weird sculpting decision (I noticed some people just painted them as flames instead). Hellhounds are such good brutes to back up a major villain that this figure will likely see plenty of action.

Happy Thanksgiving, by the way, and thanks for looking!

Halbarand (52 of 400)

Another very useful "PC" miniature, this time a cleric wielding a hammer and some sort of holy tome chained to his neck.  Not the most complex paint job--I didn't bother doing up the armor really fancy aside from adding some jewels to the designs on the shoulders and thighs.

Comments welcome!

Trista, the White Wolf (51 of 400)

I'm continuing with my painting up figures that could serve players for their characters.  Here's a fighter or paladin or something similar.  It's a good looking suit of armor and shield with the wolf motif used throughout.

Definitely need to add some guys to the roster...

Alistrilee, elf archer (50 of 400)

I've done other "ranger" figures, even female ranger figures, but they are handy (and easy to paint).  This one, Alistrilee, is a nice figure except that she has a really weird face.  That is, unless elves have pronounced Saturnine features.  But all that aside, I think the paint job turned out okay, and for a change I actually painted in the eyes, which are not my strong suit.

I'm going to try to pad out the number of "PC" miniatures I have just so they can be available to players down the line.

Spiders (45-49 of 400)

I got a little time this holiday weekend to paint so I banged out these spiders. I used the color scheme of the brown recluse spider with a high contrast base color. 

It is always good to stock up on standard dungeon vermin I think!
