Iron Golem

I am IRON MAN!

It's another Reaper Bones mini, this time the Iron Golem. I don't think I quite did this miniature justice, it's really well executed. It doesn't look quite like what I envisioned, but I still like where it ended up. When I looked for other paint jobs to get inspiration (and steal paint schemes), I think others have had the same issue (i.e. I couldn't find any I liked ... or any that showcased how awesome of a sculpt it is). The guy who painted his to look like Tony Stark's Iron Man was kinda cool.

At first I thought about using my Stormcast color scheme (Red with White/Gold Accents), but decided against that. Finally I decided to go with metal/iron "insides", with white armor plates. It mostly worked, but I think I should have built the white highlights on top of a lighter base coat.

Earth Elemental

I summon an Earth Elemental! The painting is done on this "dude", it took less than an hour to paint him (more time was spent waiting for the wash to dry). It was sometimes difficult to determine which part of him is stone vs. dirt, so I tried to make it seem like he's wearing vaguely stone armor.

I plan on treating him the same as the base wrt adding tuffs of grass & turf. That should give him some more color. He's an Earth Elemental, so that seems appropriate to me.

Deep Ones

Some Bones Deep Ones. I impulse bought these awhile back, and then impulse painted them (they were on the table ready to go after I finished the last set of Silver Tower minis). There's 2 pieces of terrain that go along with them. Both are Cthulhu-esque Statues and Pillars. Those are painted as well, but I didn't get them pictured.

BTW, I've practically finished the Silver Tower project. The girl needs to finish painting the Mistweaver, everything else is painted and ready for basing.
