AoS: Mistweaver Saih

The Mistweaver Saih from Warhammer Quest: Silvertower. This miniature was mostly painted by the girl, I did a bit of edge highlighting/cleaning up (and the base) to make her pop a bit more. She's the girl's character in Silver Tower and does quite well (the girl tends to gather the most experience points). Her ability to blast things from across the board is quite good, it helps that my Stormcast character tends to hold the enemies up.

This is also miniature number 100 for the year! Woot 3 digits! The Mistweaver also finishes off the Silvertower project. Given the holidays, I suspect I won't get much more time to paint this year.

Tzeentch Arcanist: Kairic Acolytes

The Kairic Acolytes from Shadows of Hammerhal. This is kinda an awesome kit, if you like mask wearing egyptianish cultists. It's got a lot of options and makes some pretty dynamic models.

In the fluff, these are wizards who have transformed themselves into warriors. So you end up with some odd anatomies (in particular, a surprising number of 8-pack abs), because being scrawny wizards, they don't really know what a real fit person actually looks like.

I painted them with 4 different skin tones. Most of them are pasty white (see the wizard comment above), but a few of them have more color.

For some reason the camera pictured them with a bit of a blue tint. hmmm...

Stone Giant

A Stone Giant from Reaper's Bones line. He's an older sculpt, and as such he is a bit on the smaller size when compared to the other Giants. He's still plenty big when compared to other 25mm miniatures. He should be the last miniature on the blog for a while. I'm out of giants to paint. I'm keeping an eye out for the Frost Giant King, the Ettin, and the Fomorian Giants from Reaper, but I haven't seen any yet.

Hill Giant Part II

Yet another Hill Giant. It's Krug the Hill Giant from Reaper's Bones line. His proportions and pose is a bit better than the previous one. He's the second giant I painted, but once again, I didn't get pictures taken until recently.

Hill Giant

Another Giant. This time it's Golan the Hill Giant. He's actually the first giant I painted, but I never got pictures of him taken until now. His pose is odd, and his proportions seem off, but he still works in some way.

Azyrite Ruins

Every so often, I paint up some terrain to bulk up the number of miniatures I've painted. Here's some Azyrite Ruins from GamesWorkshop. I only pictured half, the other half are identical to these. I have some more I'm going to paint, but I still need to assemble them ... so don't be surprised to see more of these. I followed my standard terrain stonework formula. Start with a Eshin Grey basecoat, dry brush with Adminstratum Grey, wash the entire thing with Nuln Oil. Wash the bottom half with Agrax Earthshade. The bricks were also done using Zendri Dust and Agrax (followed by a light drybrush of Zendri Dust again). Nothing fancy, but I think it's effective.

Frost Giant Warrior

Another Frost Giant! The Frost Giant Warrior this time. He's the "brother" of the Frost Giant Bodyguard we saw earlier, and he's been painted the same way. I'd say the Bodyguard was a bit easier to paint (his details are a bit better defined). I still like this sculpt though since he has an appropriately giant-sized beard. He'll get used as a Storm Giant (when not fulfilling duties as a Frost Giant) in our D&D campaign.
