Assorted Miniature Projects

Some of the links to what I’ve been using to make the different Warcry warbands.

In the spirit of Spring Cleaning, I decided to crack on and finish Beowulf & Grendel from the Otherworld Miniatures range. First up is the mighty hero, Beowulf…

I enjoyed painting this chap. There is a little bit of the Ray Winstone about him for sure but I liked that there was so much detail worked into the sculpt.

It was fun painting the shading and highlighting stage and I think the base really helps set the model off, framing it well. Cloaks are also fun to paint!

We also have Grendel, the monstrous beast that attacked Hrothgar’s Hall.

Again, a fun model to paint and a bit different from normal. There was a lot of drybrushing to get through on this model. I worked in a lot of greys followed by off-white and black for the hair.

I thought it worked well for troll skin and gave him the appearance of a creature from the bowels of the earth. He also features the leather loincloth and the peering red eyes. Oh, and the sticky ichor dropping from his maw.

It was a fun project working on these two and I’m interested in looking at writing up some simple rules for them. I want to put together a little set of duelling mechanics, maybe using SAGA dice, to play out a quick clash between them.

I thought I’d drop in some images of the small amount of painting I’ve taken the time to do over the last month.

I have been finding it very hard to get myself motivated to paint at the moment and I tend to maybe do a few steps and then just stop annoyingly.

These were fun to do and I think that if I actually try and knuckle down I might be able to get the other two finished; Odin and Tyr.

Being in a Viking mood I decided to crack out a miniature gifted to me a while ago now and paint him up. Here we have Thorfinn Einarsson (according to Warlord’s website).

I had fun painting this fellow up and I might pop in and do the odd one or two miniatures here and there. Trying to get back into the painting groove.

This fellow was a neat way to build on my Viking love at the moment and I might dig out a few more from my collection just to play around with.

I wanted to show some support to a local gaming store so I went and picked up some Age Of Sigmar push-fit miniatures that I’d been tempted to have a crack at for a while now. Turns out, I quite like working through these gold armoured warriors!

The way I’m approaching this, I’m looking to try and paint up some characters that could be used as Soulbound when it comes to playing out that particular roleplaying game from Cubicle 7.

You don’t have to use miniatures in the game but I reckon it would be a fun way to show off where the characters where during some battles – all the enemies would be represented as marks on a whiteboard anyway. This is just for fun.

I painted the Sequitor above and then worked on this Fyreslayer which actually came from a Warhammer Underworlds set.

Again, I went for the classic scheme for this character and actually really enjoyed it. I know that I’m never really going to use these on the tabletop and so painting up the odd one or two miniatures has always been a nice way for me to dip my toe into the different factions.

I’m currently looking through the Games Workshop webstore at the odd character or two that I think I’d like to have a pop at next!
