From Barks: Descent monsters (84 points)

 I have almost finished the Descent 'core' boardgame set. Here's some more monsters:

The Shadow Dragons were a bit of a pain to paint, being too featureless to work with Contrast (and I don'y have purple Contrast anyway). I think the mouth nicely distracts from flaws elsewhere. I was aiming for a bit more of any ashy grey colour, but will settle for painted.


Similarly, the Merriods' skin was challenging and the mouths are a nice distraction. Gloss varnished.


The Ettins are two-headed ogres, all Contrast except the metalwork. The various brown Contrast tones are rather handy.


Why have one element when you can have all four? The Elementals were a bit odd to paint, but I felt sorry for the sculptor.


Flesh Moulders- quick and nasty.

  1. Very nice work on that menagerie of terror. The skin on those Merriods looks ace.

    1. Thank you! It is a bit messy as it is an overpaint on a disappointing first attempt.

  3. Fearsome looking foes Barks. The green tongue on purple dragon is quite striking

    1. Yes, I copied it straight from the artwork- wouldn’t have come up with it myself!
