Another Mantis...

That time again folks.  Time for another Mantis Warrior from Raging Heroes.

Still working on more of these gals!

I think I will also try them in a different color scheme...

These skinks have a buddy or two...

I guess it's time for some group shots!  This time, on another one of the decorative plaques that I made.

Originally, this was created for a unit of cold one riders.  That was for my first Golden Demon comp in 2007.  I remember that unit getting a silver.  I used this plaque for some Salamanders at Adepticon a few years later, and the won a Rogue Demon.

I have always liked this plaque, but didn't use it for group shots such as this.  Time to rectify that!

It's very cool to see units off of the movement trays and gathered together in this way.  Of course, having an entire collection of LED daylight bulbs helps this sort of photography in more ways than I can describe.

I will go through more units like this.  Lots of fun!

I hope you folks don't mind :-)

So, onto something else!

Mantis Warriors from Raging Heroes

Back to some Mantis Warriors, this time from Raging Heroes.

I have some more of these that I have been working on for a while now, so hopefully those will show up soon :-)

Here she is with one of her sisters!

An entire unit of these would look very interesting out on the table...

More on the way...

Taelor made...

Here's another one of Cathy's Malifaux crew.  This time it is Taelor.

It looks like she had a lot of fun with this base!  The Secret Weapon Miniatures torsos proved useful.  I like the hand reaching up out of the water!!

Feelin' Blue?

More of the little guys!

For as insignificant as these guys can be in a game, the way the figures were sculpted offers the most opportunities for interesting painting effects.  There is a balance of cleanly placed scales to bare skin that is great for color transitions or even elaborate markings.

The head crests are also another neat thing, which the saurus just don't have.  The kroxigors probably have the least amount of nifty space for these fun effects, given all the heavy scales, etc.

The faces on the little guys also offer more opportunities to do color transitions!  Group shots coming :-)

We little Skinks

This is one of the first big Skink units that I painted for my Lizardmen years ago.  In fact, it is one of the units that helped me develop the Shaded Basecoat technique.

I made several more units after this (including the recent green skink tank), but this one will always be my favorite.  Something about these colors was just so fun!!!

I realized that I had never taken any individual shots of them.  I had a bunch of unit shots on the movement tray, but that was it.  So, I have been shooting and processing pictures now to rectify that :-)

Much more to come!!  Stay Tuned

Here's another installment of Cathy's Malifaux crew!

More to come!
