Everybody is kung-fu fighting... trolls?

Continuing with the fantasy figures, I have a troll and a monk today. 

The troll is huge compared to the 28mm figures! I did a basic green paint job, which took the wash very nicely. I toyed with doing blue but I have a ton of blue-skinned giants.

The monk is okay. His eyebrows look a bit jugaalo from this angle!

He's better from the back. I was happy with the satiny effect I got on his pants.

I've also been working on improving the look of the stone I've been painting on the bases. This is a black layer, medium grey blocking, then big globs of light grey, which dried unevenly. Then the magic dip over top. I think I gives a decent stone effect for very little work. 

Up next: Some mechanical golems and maybe some terrain.

Some adventurers

 I turned my hand to a random selection of adventurers.

I have been trying to expand my palette of colours and went for some pastels. I was super nervous doing this but I think they turned out okay. 

There were also these two figures with tails, which I think are Dragon borne (although I have no real idea what that means). The one on the left is more successful than the one on the right, It think.

And, finally, I tackled this orc paladin? 

Anyhow, back to some more creatures next week.

Bring out your undead!

As I continue to paint some of the fantasy figures I got from Chen, I finished some skeletons and a bear.

I was happy how the bear's face and mouth came out.

The bear is a huge model with lots of detail. 

I also knocked off five skeletons with swords.

They did a good job on the skull.

I've also been experimenting with adding texture to the painted stone bases. This is a medium brown, with a glossy light brown over top, and then a wash. It is an interesting effect.

Up next: Some adventurers.
