That is a nice color on the MC.

Lovely work on those Chaos Marauder-y models Look forward to seeing the Manticore! Looks like he's been juicing! lol.

Darklands minis Look great, reminds me of the old slaine 2000ad comics.

Really like the natural look on the dog too.

Looking forward to how your manticore turns out

Thanks you will be glad to know the manticore is now finished, unfortunatley not before the sun went down so you will need to wait to next weekend for the pics

Next up will be a bit of sculpting for my Ghoul base, I need to make some Aztec ruins, will be an interesting challenge

they look awesome

And here we go the finished Manticore.

Ungefelic, Mantichora from Darklands

I really love this mini and tried to do my best painting that I could on him. I've had him for ages but have been really scared to paint him in case I mucked it up.

So what do you think?













Cheers

Stunning work on the manticore. The tawny fur looks great. My only issue with the model is the joint of where the wings connects looks small and flimsy, but that's the model itself. Great work.

Awesome manticore. Great colour, made me chuckle how you showed te dog with the same colour, like it had a hulk moment.

Those Darland barbarians are awesome too.

EDC

Absolutely spectacular. You have made that manticore a great centrepiece. Glad you built up the courage to tackle him.

Cheers Theo, the joints do look a bit small in comparison to his bulk now that you mention it.

Thanks Archer, I'll have to get a group shot of what I have painted so far in a little encounter.

The monsters in Darklands do go up another size to the really big hitters, but they are about £100 each. They look nice but I probably wont go upto that size.

That is stunning! The lion's pelt, the wings, all look great!

Thanks Para, I googled lots of Lion pics while I was painting him.

Lovely job with the Manticore. Really nice lion pelt! He looks like he's been juicing- serious muscle on him! Quite liking the mane as well.

Manticore looks cracking - really nice job

I'd add a wash on the manticore body, to have a bit more contrast, but otherwise it looks good. Nice colors, and the model is sick. I had never seen this manticore before, it's a great miniature.
It's really impressive and should look damn good on the table !

That is great, stunning, beautiful GiraffeX.

Where's that damn applause emotiOrk!!

Cheers Minus the blends look a lot better in real life, I still suck at taking photos I can never get what I actually see when I look a the mini.

----------------------------------

This weekend has been an assembly weekend, I managed to get a bunch more Darklands assembled, there's still a few things left that I didn't get round too. They all need GS work apart from Ffion



From left to right on the front row Warrior Ffion, Bard of Gwynedd, Skaadi the Moraine Sorceress and Krekkek, Bull Sávrakh
On the back row Khallas, Hydrakh of ýdron and Mórannach, Beast of Cill Chonn Bog.

The only one of this bunch who is in line to be painted at present is Ffion as she goes with my dragon guys I've already painted.

Next up is still the sculpting for the Ghoul's base as it's not warm enough yet to undercoat them I keep putting it off, I hate sculpting but it must be done so I have two forces to fit against each other for Kings of War, my Wood Elves are getting bored waiting!

Saw these over on your fb, they look bonkers? Can't wait to see the fun you have with them!

Cheers Graven they should be fun thats for sure, I'm finding it interesting painting so many different types of animal instead of power armour all the time.

I have managed to stay away from darklands, but some of the sculpts are luring me so much....must resist, I can live vicariously through you all.

Yeah, those models look really cool, really can't wait to see what you do with them.

EDC

What a cool collection. love the beast model!

Have wanted that Bog Beast since I saw the sketch, appreciate seeing just how bulky it is against that wee marine. Dig Skaadi as well ... and all of them, who am I kidding?

Luck!

- Salvage

Wow, I love the manticore! Amazing stuff! Can't wait to see what's next :-)

The models from Darklands are incredible. I cant wait to see you do them justice by painting them!

most of their sculpts are draw dropping, its so hard to say no.

Thanks Zambro I will do my best.

Not much to report back on this weekend, haven't done much painting.

I assembled some Dark Age minis and painted a Wastrel from Malifaux and thats about it. I did play a game of X Wing which I took photos for so will have to write a mini bat rep up this week. I've also been having major computer issues this week as well, had to restore from the operating system upwards due to a NVIDIA update corrupting it, much stress was had

Here's the lone Wastrel, I've got three more minis from the Relic Hunters set to paint, they are kind of fill in minis when I have a spare few moments.

Nice work. I really like the subtle shading on the pants.

Nice work on the maniticore . As for those other darkland models, they do look really nice.

I like the big hulking beastie guy at the back, cant wait to see how you paint those up.

Nice job on the Wastrel, he's my favourite of the set.
