'tis the Season to Paint Minis

[the_gneech]

Finally finished some minis that I've been working on for months! As the lolcats would say, let me show you them.


Leonard Lion and Lina Inverse battle a nazgul, while the First Doctor looks on! Er, no, waitaminute.

Let's go into a little more detail...


One of the "lion man" miniatures by Reaper, IIRC. I'll be using him as Arshan of the Desert in sirfox's furry D&D. Much fun character. :) Hope Josh runs more soon! I love the way the figure looms over others at the same scale.


Dr. Lucky, from Kill Dr. Lucky by Paizo. This was actually a Christmas present for hantamouse's mum last year (i.e., 2006) ... and I finally finished painting it. Oops.


Mirima, lythandra's fireball-tossing sorceress in my Red Hand of Doom game. The fireball in this particular instance was made from a shredded bit of cotton ball glued to the figure post-paint ... although from the cone shape it looks more like burning hands. Miniature by Reaper.


Dedicated to invisiblewolf; miniature by Reaper. With my luck some joker's gonna come along and say "Hey, he's got no pants!"


Scenery from the "Ruins of Middle-earth" set by Citadel. Some of the ivy is strategically-placed to cover seams, other bits are just randomly placed. I was pleased with the "weathered stone" effect, some of which is lost in this photo.

Whatcha think? :)

Ooh! Very nice indeed. Haven't painted miniatures in ages (since school...and even then, I was rubbish)

Love the use of cotton-wool for the fireball :D
(and the lion is just fab)

Sweet! Reminds me of the old days, when you and Lythandra had a mini for every mood... a situation that seems to have only expanded since then!

Wow...I really like the Nazgul miniature; they did a good job with him. And the musculature on the lion miniature looks great, too!

Thanks for sharing! :-)

I've never heard of Reaper miniatures. But the lion-man guy is good! I should look into them

Nice,very nice.
I was never able to get into painting miniatures for whatever reason (time mostly I guess) but I do love seeing what people are able to do with them. Oh and the textures on the stone walls did come out very well indeed.

Very cool. One of these days I'm going to have to get around to finishing my Flames of War army (maybe the first of many). Someday.
