Some recent efforts

 So this one is not technically part of the Warlocks set I've been painting through (2 more of those to go), but he is a old GW plastic figure from the 90s that came in a similar small box assortment. This guy is more of a generic imperial wizard (to me). I also painted this one about 20 years ago. It was not great, so I stripped it best I could and re-painted him as part of this set. I lost some detail because the old paint didn't completely come off. So you can see some less defined areas. 

 

At this stage of my return to painting, I'm just trying one or two new things on the minis and painting what looks fun. 

Next up is a fun dwarf that would be a great addition to a Treasure Hunters warband in Mordheim.

 

I am not sure of this figure's pedigree. He looks kind of Reaper-ish, but has a slot base and I can't find him in their web store. Anyway, I dig the sculpt. He's walking around quaffing ale bare-chested, but with axe & board ready to go.

Next is an ogre from the old WOTC "Chainmail" line. I've have a soft spot for some of the sculpts from this line, so I tend to buy up these old figs when at a con or similar. 

Last up is not a new mini paint job, but a re-basing of an old one. I love this old GW metal orc shaman. I painted it YEARS ago. It's base was horrendous though. It was a GW 1" square slot base painted goblin green. That's it. So I decided to practice making nicer bases by making him a new one with texture paint, cork, and some gravel + flock..

That's a wrap!

Sealed the gargoyle. Here they all are in their glory:

First up, the forces of Chaos!

Next we have the ever-popular Fimir!

Another crowd-pleaser: The undead!

Let's give a warm WAAGH of applause for your favorite and mine: 

The GREEEEEEEENSSKINNNSS!!!

And rounding things out, the Heroes!!

Let's hear the for the whole crew!

And now back to our regularly scheduled program of LOTR-themed minis and way too many Reaper Bones!

Murder Hobos, ASSEMBLE!

Here are the "PC" minis in all their glory. The elf and wizard still need sealed.

I added a small translucent bead to the staff's top as a "magic crystal." I also did some very basic gem effects on the wizard's cloak clasps, ring, and headband; the barbarian's sword hilt; and the elf's belt.

Dwarfy Goodness

This is the "PC" dwarf from the HeroQuest set. It was a bit odd painting it because I had primed it and the chaos knights with TAP's Plate Mail spray primer. It's the first time I'd used metallic primers. The theory was it would make faster going on an armored mini, but I found painting over it difficult in places. The smooth surface didn't allow easy coverage. I'm not sure if I'd use it again. Anyway, Here is the dwarf!

 

As stated before, the steel is TAP plate mail.
