Isle of the Beholders: Reaper metal Eye Beast

From ye pile of olde! I rediscovered this metal mini in one of my stored basement boxes the other day. I have no idea why I did not paint it back in the day. One quick paint job later: 02712: Eye Beast Reaper Miniatures sculpted by Julie Guthrie white metal 40mm base […]

Reaper Bones: Spirit of the Forest

This is a wood elemental, so first, some fitting music about wood: some classic ZZ Top, from their seminal album Afterburner. Damn, it has been a long time since I have listened to any of that! The “Wood Elemental” Spirit of the Forest. And quite a large one at that. Don’t think you […]

Reaper Bones: Large Earth Elemental

Oh yes, I just had to do this one at the same time as the other large elementals: Probably should have varied it more with different types and colours of rock represented. but I just could not be bothered as I just wanted it done. Colour layers are: dark green gray, yellow sand, […]

Translucent Bones: Large Fire Elemental

I have painted this one several times over. It is an orange translucent. However, I could not make it work properly, as the orange was far too dark for my tastes, and any number of the yellow washes I used did not make it lighter or work at all in any way. In the end […]

Translucent Bones: Large Water Elemental

Painted at the same time as the water weird: I used the same method for this piece as with the water weird. However, I didn’t make a mess of this one with the drybrushing. I think. I did some color shade variations all over this one, but I think maybe the gloss varnish fuffs […]

Translucent Bones: Water Weird

Second to last of the blue translucents from the Bones 2 kickstarter: The Water Weird. A water weird is a water elemental that exists within / is bound to a specific body of water and that can give the heroes a nasty surprise when going for a wash or a drink. I made the […]

Avatars of Sandstone

I have many minis from the Bones and other kickstarters that I have prepped and undercoated, but do not have any immediate inspiration to paint, so they sit around looking sad. Then some inspiration strikes, and I paint them up in a flurry. So with these: I suppose they should have been painted in […]

New backdrops vs the Derro

In a bid to try to improve my photography of my minis, I recently ordered in the Tablewar Macromat set after seeing it on some youtube video. The backgrounds in this set are made out of thin, (neoprene?) rubberbacked mouse mat material of the same type used for tabletop gaming mats. And it all comes […]

Bones: 77371 Basilisk

From the second Bones kickstarter: the cute lil’ Basilisk. You dont want it to look at you. Another quick paint job, 77371 Basilisk Reaper Bones KS 2 Sculted by Julie Guthrie Bonesium PVC 40mm base Painted so far this month: 10 / 28. 18 to go. Painted so far this year: […]

Fingerpainting miniatures!

On the Reaper forum’s bi-monthly resolutionary painting challenge the first bonus challenge of the year is to fingerpaint a miniature. …as in use your fingers to paint it, no brushes or other implements, and you need to do this yourself, not get any help from others, including small-fingered children. Priming and sealing excepted. And it must […]
