Title: The last of the castle ravenloft miniatures
Post by: petercooman on 16 May 2016, 09:24:34 PM
Managed to paint the last minis for the d&d boardgame, giving me a fully painted set. Three more boxes to go  ~X(


Count strahd and the howling hag (being a vampire does make taking your picture hard, came out all blurry)

The heroes: (these all have a dominant colour, matching their hero boards)

And the biggest piece of the set, the dracolich:

Some people love the model and pose, i still think it has a "i'm a puppy that's hit with a rolled-up newspaper" kind of pose, but still a nice big piece anyway!
Painted him to look like he's slowly losing his 'meaty' parts:

Peter - love the dragons! As to the big red "smacked puppy" look - I don't get that read - I get "terrifying thing ready to pounce"! Really excellent!

I think i like him better now that he's all painted up, Still like the dungeon command one better though. (not mine, just a îcture off the net)

Have you got a thing about dragons and if so have you seen someone about it?  :) :)

They are all very nicely turned out. Have you used ink washes? Very effective.

I have liked dragons ever since i saw 'the neverending story' as a kid  :)

The green one was just painted luftwaffe camo green  (fitting name for a winged beast no?) and then drybrushed rotting flesh.

The dracolich was a bone coloured plastic, so i washed the entire model with gryphonne sephia, then drybrushed suede, then washed the meaty parts with baal red, highlighted with blood red and then applied a final highlight with tentacle pink.

Don't go looking for those colours though, since i think 4 of the 5 names are no longer in use  ;D

The luftwaffe camo green came straight from pendraken though,so that should still be available!

See what you did now, you have made me think about finishing all the dragons and drakes first!

Luckily there are only 5 left  ;D
