Daaamn, that Greyfax is great! I like the colors you've chosen. Beastmans also looks serious, love the pink & turqouose spot colors. What's his name? Thanks! His name is Iko. Tempest cleric boy. He's got flair. Greyfax is like the first model I've painted a pupil on semi-successfully so I'm pumped about her.

I'm painting up some Rising Sun minis for a friend's birthday. It's a board game I really like that takes place in feudal Japan (out this month). The goal for the month is to paint 8 monsters and 6 "Daimyos" which are basically generals for each faction. Here are some WIP's: Komainu: Yurei: River Dragon: The Oni of Spite, Oni of Skulls, Oni of Hate, Oni of Blood, and Oni of Souls still to come!

Those are some fantastical creatures.
I'm really enjoying the variety of colors here! Looks like a fun project to be working on.

Awesome! I've been contemplating moving to painting board game minis like this. Can I ask what you've done for a base? (spray? brush? airbrush?) Any notable differences between painting these and warhammer minis?

Awesome! I've been contemplating moving to painting board game minis like this. Can I ask what you've done for a base? (spray? brush? airbrush?) Any notable differences between painting these and warhammer minis? Yeah of course. I used an airbrush to base the minis (i use it pretty much exclusively now for basing 40k or otherwise). For these I used the vallejo grey primer and I've got a couple more I might post tonight that I primed black. I'd say most of the techniques port over between 40k minis to other models. The biggest challenge I have found involves the color palette. Like the GW color range is designed for these heroic minis so it's more vibrant. Sometimes you're looking for something more muted especially if you're doing historical minis. For me, it was x-wing where suddenly I had to work almost exclusively in Celestra Gray and washes to get the colors I wanted. For these minis, the challenge was that the game is new so there are fewer resources (tutorials, painting logs etc.) to work with and I had to just wing it a bit with regard to color decisions. It has been fun and worth it though. The feel of the minis is different too so it is a nice change of pace.

Turns out the best way to become a leader of elves is to stand around menacingly in a field of spears.
