SORTING OUT MY PHOTOS AND A COUPLE OF NEW PAINT JOBS

I saw somewhere that a black background on mini photographs would make them stand out more so decided to give this a shot. I'm still not 100% on the results but I think it's getting there, I can't quite capture how they look in reality (as always you can click on the image for a bigger view)

Unidentified fish guy, he's on a sold base and a little on the skinny side so I believe he might be Ral Partha, if anyone knows give me a shout. Tee base is just made up of DAS clay then highlighted up with various browns/yellows. I think he needs some drift wood or shells to make it a bit more exciting so I may have a shot with green-stuffing some sea-life

Not sure who put this out but again I think this might be a Ral Partha or Grenadier mini.

Old School Citadel Gnome from the time when Gnomes still existed in the Warhammer World, he's from the Adventurer Starter set according to the citadel collecting mini's site:

Again another old citadel mini, still needs his plastic shield adding but I'm holding off as I can't face doing free hand on the flat shields

 Early pre-slotta citadel Druid or Cleric (I think), my first attempt at painting none rotting human flesh, not 100% yet but I've got a ton of scantily clad barbarians to do so hopefully by the end I'll have learnt something.

 C-series citadel zombie really easy to paint as it's mostly just muscles but, I think he could do with some more variation in the reds but he'll do.

Lastly, here's some better shots of the Vilespawn that from Gribbly Miniatures (http://www.gribblyminiatures.co.uk/home.php)

I still haven't worked out how to get images to sit correctly on the page but hopefully all of the above is legible.

Goblinoids and other random figures

On a roll today, double post

Just finished these guys yesterday:

I think they're either 15mm goblins or 25mm kobolds either way I'm going to use them as small goblinoids of some description for small skirmishes.
I'm hoping to build up a reserve of various miniatures for use in the Skulldred game (http://skulldred.blogspot.com/) that's currently being developed:

"Skulldred is the fast paced, maths free miniatures skirmish game from BeDerken games. Designed from the ground up to be maths free- you never need to keep numbers in your head or consult a table or army list. Field anything your twisted imagination can muster from any miniature ranges you like!"


Check out the Skulldred forum where you can get hold of the PDF version of the earlier rules and if you haven't already the creater's retro mini  blog (http://www.kingsminis.blogspot.com/).
I've not really had a chance to peruse through the rules yet but just the idea of an any miniature you fancy system ticks all my boxes and means that I have a use for all the random purchases I've made in the past.
The long plan is to put together a small 'hero' warband for the wife and we play against each other with me as the sort of DM controlling the various none hero's. The remit's for creating my wife's warband is that they be mostly female miniatures but "not women with their tits hanging out", so far I've had a look round and Reaper seem to do a decent range of both tits in and tits out minis so I'll probably be heading there on pay-day.

Enough rambling more pics:

Not sure what these are but they look sort of like skinned ghouls so I tried to make them look fleshy

Next up is this fantastic Vilespawn from Gribbly Miniatures, check out the website for some amazingly disgusting resin things. I can't seem to get a descent photo of this figure, it's either to bright and washed out or dark and out of focus, I might try again tomorrow in day light.

 Here's a shot for scale purposes

And here's a shot of my pending/painted display area

Anyway off to bed for me
