Some More Coven Pics

Well, I thought I might as well show the minis I added to the Coven line-up:

Another girl from Dark Sword Miniatures, one from Black Cat Bases, an unfortunate victim from Pulp Figures, and an old Grenadier demon.

Been busy with the greenstuff, also on the Witch and the Cauldron.

Below is a pic of two Heresy minis that are natural enemies.

I've had the big howler assembled and partially greenstuffed for quite a while, but I took the  opportunity to get the last gaps stuffed right away.

I ALWAYS get too much greenstuff mixed, and  you may have spotted an armnature for a tentacle or giant snake (I'm not quite sure, yet), that I'm going to sculpt with leftovers.

It'll be my first attempt at sculpting a wargame mini, and it will probably take a long time to get done, slowly building up the shape with little blobs of putty.

Who shall reign supreme in the Carpathians?

 Stay tuned for more...

Toiling Away...

I don't have anything new to show at this very moment.

I have added a couple of minis to my WIP Coven, but I have also received my first semi-commission, so I'm frantically cleaning up those models so I can change between painting one (actually, two) of those in between each of the Coven models.

I have gotten myself a sweet deal with a miniature company to paint up some of the models they don't have pics of for their webstore. I get to keep the painted minis, just have to take good photos of the paintjobs to send back to the company.

I get free minis for painting them, and the company gets photos to, hopefully, up the sales. Plus, the minis can be used to re-start a long dormant project of mine. Win-win, if you ask me!

I have 5 sets of mounted/foot characters to prep and paint, and I shall paint a full set at a time to photograph.

I shall not be showing pics of the 'commission' minis here, until they have been published by the company, though, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

The Coven Assembles!

Fillet of a fenny snake,   
In the cauldron boil and bake;   
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,   
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,   
Adder’s fork, and blind-worm’s sting,   
Lizard’s leg, and howlet’s wing,   
For a charm of powerful trouble, 
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.   

     Double, double toil and trouble;   
     Fire burn and cauldron bubble.

Got the cauldron prepped and assembled, and found the 2 versions of the Dark Sword 'The Summoner' (by Tom Meier) that I have had in my possession for several years.

Darkness is coming....

More Heresy...

Round about the cauldron go;   
In the poison’d entrails throw.   
Toad, that under cold stone    
Days and nights hast thirty one   
Swelter’d venom sleeping got,   
Boil thou first i’ the charmed pot.   

     Double, double toil and trouble; 
     Fire burn and cauldron bubble.   

I only have to prep the cauldron, and then get me some putty to fill gaps in the man-bat, and the witch.

WIP, Overlord and Vampire

I need to get some new greenstuff, as my old supply has gone AWOL - but I am never the less doing progress on the minis I ordered from Heresy:

Next up is the Witch with her cauldron...

Howling at the Moon

Finished this guy earlier today, first painting done since Monday.

Another West Wind classic Vampire Wars mini.

He is going to be my last entry for the LPC at the LAF - we are almost at the 100 minis limit, and another painting club is likely to start April 1st.

I received 3 minis in the mail a couple of days ago, and I have to prep those for painting - and I have a kind of comission incoming that will take up a lot of my painting time the next couple of weeks.
