144Artist Explores Lyonesse or My Journeys into Wolsung

It has been a while since I worked on any of my Wolsung collection.  This isn’t because I finished all of it or because I lost interest. Real life and other projects got in the way of my attention span but never completely obliterated it.  Despite being massively busy at work and fighting a considerable painting block this year, I found time to work on a couple of pieces that will make great Objective Markers or just solid scatter terrain to hide behind.  These are lovely little pieces that I have no idea who manufacturers them s they were a gift.

I guess this means I really need to get back to painting my remaining gang members.

I am back to work on my Wolsung minis.  Sturmbannfürer Jurgen is one fierce looking character especially considering that lethal gunshot wound in his chest.  Adela ven Uss is nasty in hand to hand.  I haven’t run the team yet but can say, from facing her, that she is deadly and best taken out from a distance.

Onryo is a lady who makes up for her lack of legs with speed and lethality. A lovely character design but I must admit I have a couple issues with the sculpt, not the least of which is the delicacy of her claws.  Still, another member of the Triad takes her place in my collection.

A Ghoul Workshop has popped up in my little Lyonese neighborhood of Shadows Gate.  These things can summon two ghouls or a ghoul soldier.  Seeing as MicroArts hasn’t released a figure for it so I think I’ll just be summoning ghouls.  Lucky for me I have a few to paint plus a bunch of suitable zombies from my Empires of the Dead.  I might need another one of these.

Okay, so this Reaper Minis figure, Rowena Von Graaf, isn’t really Lady Quimby on foot but as soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to use her as such.  Not identical, of course, but it made my color choices much easier.  I have no idea how I would use her in game, of course, but I’m more concerned with how she’s painted than how she plays.

I had been putting off tackling the Necrogolem kits because all the strange little pieces and unique shapes were a little intimidating.  Fortunately my friend, necron099 has already assembled some and even posted his discoveries on his own project blog;  https://www.beastsofwar.com/project-entry/1273890/

This made it a lot easier.  They do take a bit of time to clean and assemble the parts but they paint up quickly.  The key really is to start assembly at the base and carefully pin as much as you can as you move up the mini.  Again, taking a leaf from necron099’s book, I used Vallejo Colorshift paints to give them an insect look.
