Void Spiders painted (Shadows of Brimstone 7)

Hello all,
Another day, another set of monsters - this time it is the nasty little Void Spiders:

Josh discovers he is intensely arachnofobic

My son insist on calling them "face-huggers" and they do resemble those very much. Arachnid, no eyes but a huge, gaping maw underneath.

All twelve are exactly the same, so I tried to add a little variety thourgh which parts were painted pink/light green and by having two sets - one coloured as the Tentacles and the Goliath, and one as the Hell Bats.

The greatest detail of these are the mouth, and as this is hidden by the stance of the critter, it would have been nice to have one poised on the hind legs or similar. In hindsight I should have converted a few to just this, but that is something for next month, next year, or the next life :-).

All the best,
Kasper

Goliath painted (Shadows of Brimstone 6)

Hello all,
Another monster painted for Shadows of Brimstone - and this time it is a real monster!
Towering over Josh is his new best friend, a Goliath:

It is a beast to photograph as well - couldn't get the entire beast focused nor in the frame.

As with the other monsters from Shadows of Brimstone there are very few details on this beast, apart from the face. I choose a deep purple to hide this fact and to tie it in with the Tentacles.

Also, note how the two parts that make up the head are put together so that there is a very annoying gap in the central eye. Why would anyone do this?

Despite these facts, the Goliath looks imposing and from a certain distance quite good :-).

All the best,
Kasper

Fenris Games Goatkin - Bob and Pinky - Beastmen 1

Hello all,
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all!
So, little time for posting but as I have a ton of images ready for upload I'm just going to go ahead and post them with little text - hope that is okay :-).

The first group is the beastmen from Fenris. Some have been shown before, but as the warband is now finished and all have been rebased on the beautiful bases from Fenris, I think I'll go ahead and re-show the old with the new.

First up is a 'backwards-forwards' goatkin called Bob, and a tentacled goatkin named Pinky (yes, they still have ridiculous names, I'm afraid :-)):

All the best,
Kasper

10mm Knights and Bowmen - Kallistra 100YW Longbowmen & WOTR Mounted Men-at-Arms

Hello all,

In betwixt painting the miniatures from the boardgame "Shadows of Brimstone", I've also managed to get two more units done for my friend's Warmaster army.
The first is another cavalry unit. Produced by Kallistra Miniatures, it is a very nice unit - one of those that always makes you wonder just how brilliant it would look if painted by someone talented.

War of the Roses Mounted Men-at-Arms.
But, as mentioned, a very nice unit - kept in the colours of the army; green, white and a dash of red - as befits a pseudo-Walesian army.

I'm not entirely sure the red works, it may be too close tot he brown. For the next one I'll try white lances with the red drapery.

The other unit is a humble bowman unit. Somehow these always gets painted last but as you always have a few of these units they do deserve some paint. Hundred Year War Longbowmen:

Also by Kallistra, the miniatures have a lot of detail and was actually quite fun to paint. And quick :-).

The command group is picked from other units, just to give the unit a focal point.

The colours are, again, green, white and red. The army looks really cohesive and quite impressive. Can't wait to get all the minis painted :-).

That is it for now - more Shadow of Brimstone minis coming soon, as well as a a AAR of our first 'real' game this weekend.

All the best,
Kasper
