Myconid Adults

Mushroom Men! These are also from Nolzur's Marvelous Miniature line. I've always had a soft spot for mushroom people ... no idea why. They used to be fairly common in a lot of the D&D dungeons I wrote in High School.

Still playing with Contrast paints. Skeleton Horde for the body, and thinned down Pink for the caps/hands. Then some drybrushing (Screaming Skull and Pallid Wych) on the bodies and Emperor's Children to fix any odd pooling on the caps. Lastly a dot of pallid for each eye. 

Oxen

Sometimes you just need some barnyard animals. Here's a set of Oxen from Nolzur's Marvelous Miniature line. Most of the work was done by Contrast paints. (Black for the main/nose, Grey for the body (w/ a drybrush of Dawnstone)).

I like'em and they were fast and easy.

Warhammer Underworlds: Beastgrave - Primal Lair

Some terrain bits and bobs for the newest version of Underworlds.

Looking at GW's website, I realize I may have painted some of these "incorrect". The shard of realmstone should have been Amber (i.e. the realmstone of the Realm of Beasts), I painted it more metallic. The pit of acid if filled with bubbling water in my rendition.

I consciously tried to use more Contrast paints. I'm still having mixed thoughts. Sometimes I really like the effect, sometimes I'm not so sure. I think I need to be really aware of how it will pool (and I'm still don't have a great feel for that).

1 gaseous clouds forming from vents in the ground

1 large animal skull and section of skeleton

1 shard of realmstone

1 set of tentacles emerging from a hole in the ground

1 pit of acid

1 large skull resting on rocks

Tardis

I picked this up a while back. It's a Police Box from the Reaper Bones line. It feels a bit small, but then again, the Tardis is small on the outside. I figure it's the one piece of "Universal" terrain I have. Hills don't even look right in every setting (say in a Necromunda Underhive), but this thing can be dropped anywhere and it still makes sense :-).

I have to admit, if you look at photos of the "real" Tardis, it says "Police Public Call Box" (where the "Public Call" portion is written in a smaller font). That was way beyond my ability to free hand, so mine just says Police Box on the placard. It was mostly painted with Guiliman Blue Contrast Paint (and some drybrusing, highlighting and various bits detailed).

Displacer Beast

Meow?!?!?

No idea what a displacer kitty says. This was an exercise in doing black (or in this kitties case ... dark grey). He has a white underbelly, but it's not as apparent in these pictures.

Timeworn Ruins

Not brand new ruins ... timeworn ones!

These were fun to paint. I relearned a lesson to not use the last of a Nuln Oil pot (or mix it with water). It left a slight film in some of the recesses of the "bust" piece. Last time this happened, it went away once I hit the piece with an overcoat.

Nothing particularly fancy about the color scheme. The only real difference from previous pieces of terrain was the use of Skeleton Horde contrast on the various skulls & bones.

Medium Fire Elementals

As I went down, the flames went up higher!

More Fire Elementals! This time from Nolzur's Marvelous Miniature line. These have better faces, but less flamey bits. They look good with the big guy from the previous post though. All told I have 10 small fire (GW's brimstone horrors), 4 medium, and 1 large fire elementals.

I'd like to say that I have 4 of these, since Fire Elementals are by far the most commonly met ones during D&D campaigns ... but really I forgot I already had a pair when I bought the second one. I have 3 air, 3 water, 3 earth and 15 fire.

These are the last of the "Elemental sub project" (an offshoot of the D&D project). I'm all set to run a "Princes of the Apocalypse" campaign. Too bad me and the kids finished that campaign off last Summer. I'm sure they'll get use.

Large Fire Elemental

Down down down into a burning ring of fire!

A large fire elemental from Reaper's Bones line. I'd say this is low hanging fruit, largely because it's just a bunch of dry brushes (from white all the way to black ... white scar, lamenters yellow, flash git yellow, trollslayer orange, mephiston red, and finally abbadon black). The only thing about this miniature that bothers me is it's lack of defined "facial" features. It's not a huge issue though.

Cannons 2

Wait ... haven't we seen these already?

Nope! I bought (and painted) another 2 cannons. At some point, I'll get a sloop (or frigate) and these will look great on the deck of one of those.

Iron Maiden

Nope, not some 80's metal band, it's the original Iron Maiden. The doors almost seem like they'd shut (but don't really). Not much more to say ... just more terrain for dungeons.

The Rack

It's some more dungeon terrain. It's Nolzur's Magnificent Miniatures Rack this time. Wasn't 100% sure the "ropes" are ropes (they might be chains). Painting them as ropes gave it a bit more color. It'll make any dungeon encounters even more terrifying.
