No, you haven't misread the title of the post. For this entry, we will be entering the Golem's Haunt in the Chambers of Challenge, and while it may be more common to create Golems from flesh or bones, the one I have painted up is a little different.
Presenting the Gravestone Golem, made from 100% free range Graves.
The mini comes from Reaper's Bones range of minis and was a lot of fun to paint, being mainly washes and drybrushing over the base coats. Shown here next to a 28m Ringwraith for scale, you can see how big this beasty is. It stands nearly 60mm tall to the top of it's head, so I am going to score it as a 54mm foot figure. That gives me 10 points, plus 20 for the chamber, for a total of 30 points. As you'd expect, there are a few skulls on this mini, so I will be putting my first 12 Skullz onto the scoreboard for that side duel.
That's a really cool golem, nicely done!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
Delete"Look for me tomorrow and you will find me a grave man!" A brilliant idea and very nicely executed.
ReplyDeleteOoh we are slaying the Shakespearean references this year.
DeleteThanks Noel.
DeleteOh thats really! Cool.
ReplyDelete12 Skullz? Game on mate :-)
Game on indeed. I'm sure there'll be a lot more skullz by the end of the challenge.
DeleteNice work on an unusal... err.. figure!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Finding the most suitable unusual figures is one of the perks of the challenge.
DeleteGreat work on this massive rock formation. Hopefully I should be able to outrun it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Peter. I don't think it's very fast, gravestones aren't renowned for their speed.
DeleteSplendid looking construct!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thank you Iain.
DeleteI picked up that set from Reaper as well great inspiration to paint. I have to admit the quality of the Bones minis did improve over time, but now that I've discovered the 3D printing hobby I'm not sure if I would go in on any of their sets again.
ReplyDelete3D printing does look like it can produce some nice pieces, but sadly I don't have a 3D printer and my money to buy one keeps getting spent on Reaper Kickstarters.
DeleteA great figure and well painted
ReplyDeleteThanks Adam.
DeleteVery cool. Love the wrought Iron fence.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray.
DeleteThat's a big old unit !
ReplyDeleteRegards KenR
As minis go, it's fairly chunky. Luckily it is mainly all one colour.
DeleteHaha! That's an awesome looking golem. Love the wrought iron gates (wings) sprouting from his back.
ReplyDeleteThanks Curt.
DeleteThat is really cool. Is That the correct term for a Golem
ReplyDeleteI think you can call Golems anything you like. They'll still squish you regardless.
DeleteThat is bloody fabulous
ReplyDeleteCheers
Matt
That’s a very cool miniature!
ReplyDelete12 skulls duly counted.
