Back to the Sisters


Hey, finally time to put some minis on those bases!


Bases are even more fun with minis on them :-)  There are some other Sisters in this set in previous posts...


Havin' fun in the swamps


I think I had the most fun with this guy out of all the snail bodies.


I am pretty sure the original figure was metal, since the top of this is very heavy!


Now for the standard bearer/score marker :-)

Let's go this way...


The Greatswords are going to be fast and furious over the next week.  My favorite part of doing these guys are the metal surfaces.


The faces are pretty much all exactly the same, and the clothes can get pretty repetitive, but placing the shiny stuff at different angles means that I can reflect different colors here and there.



Nothing like reflecting some yellow shirts into swords!


Last up...


Yea!  Warrior four in the books.  Command staff next!


Still a few more sea shells to go.  You will see on the next set of images. :-)


I will also do a group shot of the warriors... stay tuned.

When she runs towards you, you run away...


Not many of these Demonettes left from Raging Heroes.  I had painted several of them for the Purple Fleshtones video.


Each one has been very fun to paint!


She was snapped up on ebay yesterday, so no link there :-)

Miniatures this time :-)


All right... I promised you something else besides pictures of snow.  I am guessing it is warmer in Slime Bay than it is here!


This was probably my favorite of the 4 warriors to paint, if not the most difficult.  The way the double head and the big hand worked was very fun :-)


Just one more warrior to show you... then the command staff!


Snow... and sun!


Hey everyone!  Sorry this is late... and that there are no miniatures.  I have spent the last 3 hours working with just one color... skull white.

We have been whacked with at least 6 inches of new snow... and it is still falling.


Welcome to the North American Himalayas.  This pile is now up to my chin.  And, by the way, it extends back towards the house about 10 feet.  There are three other slightly smaller piles forming a mountain range.


A view down the street.


Just when I thought I was done, I plowed through the snow to throw out come garbage, climbing through 3 foot drifts.  Just then, I saw someone stuck in the snow.  It was an older guy who was just coming back from the hospital.  So, I took his little shovel, dug him out and pushed the vehicle in his parking spot.

Just then, a few other folks needed help shoveling their garages, like this lady, whose husband is in bad shape.  More shoveling for me.  I still don't understand the concept of piling garbage out in front of your house.  To me, it belongs in the alley, where you can't see it from your front window :-)


Anyway, here is a fun, rather blinding effect that happens around here when the lake effect snow gets cranked up.  Huge snowstorm and blinding sunshine all at the same time!  FUN!
