From PeteF - A Trip to The Death Star: Printed Sci Fi Monsters for a Friend (70 points)

Going into Challenge XII I wanted to paint the widest variety of minis that I could find - and having become a little jaded with my own projects (there are around fifteen) I offered to paint something for each of my wargaming pals.  ChrisD offered up this splendid group of monsters. 

A Questionable Design?

Is the dragon's head devouring the dog or is the dog running through the head? CRIPR gone wild.

Several challenges ago I speculated about the future of 3D printing - and it's come a long way in the last few years. We're seeing a lot more of it in the Challenge and I'm running into more and more 3D printed models and even whole armies on the table. Chris 3D printed all of these - so if he doesn't like the colours it will be easier to print a new one than go to the Simple Green.

About those colours - unbound by Ospreys I wanted to go bright and wild -  I'm assuming they'll be well camouflaged on their home planets, although the magenta frog might be giving off more of a warning (WARNING: Don't Leave Colour Choices to Pete!).

To get to the Death Star and deliver these creatures of questionable design I need to use the Star Yacht - so here is Brunhilda #1 - a Viking shieldmaiden for SAGA. She's a resin miniature from V&V and was gifted to me several years ago by Old Bob. She has some as yet unpainted friends which may be needed to fuel future yacht excursions.

6 x 28mm miniature = 30 points

Well Pete, it looks like you've been drinking LeeH's "tastes like red" coffee, or perhaps some herbal concoctions.  Very technicolour results on the fauna on display here.  I am assuming that you are a known quantity to your friend and therefore the friend has an idea of what they're getting!  I really like them, the frog and purple worm are wonderful. 

I really like your sheildmaiden too, great work on the shelld.
