My Curtgeld this year is Tolkien's go-to monster: a giant spider. I did the beady eyes gloss, but it doesn't really show as well as I would like. This is a metal Reaper miniature on a 60mm base. I've left the base simple for Curt's flocking pleasure.
I'm also happy to have knocked out some more figures for Mansions of Madness:
The Formless Spawn is supposed to be a protoplasmic tarry black blob. I painted it dark grey with a rattle can overspray in grey and white, then a black ink. I wasn't sure how to do the eyes, but they came out OK. I'm thinking about giving them a gloss coat. It is on an 80mm base.
I should also gloss coat these Deep Ones. They're a bit larger and on 30mm bases.
So, I'm claiming:
Spider 25 points incl. Curtgeld
Formless Spawn 12 points
Deep Ones 12 points
Everyone else 40 points
Total 89 points
Tamsin:
Whewie! That's some great painting Barks! I love the black on those two warlocks.
Thanks for your suggested scoring, but we'll have to agree to disagree. I'm scoring the formless spawn as a 28mm vehicle and the deep ones as 40mm foot. Add on the Curtgeld points and that's 94 points, not 89. And because I don't like seeing totals indivisible by 5 I'll add another point. And I won't brook any dissent from you, so there!

"Barks has painted two male witches!"
ReplyDelete"Warlocks."
"It's true I tell you Sir!"
; )
Great work on these figs Barks, really lovely stuff!
Clearly still delirious...
DeleteThanks Ev!
Tamsin, you’re crazed with power! The altitude has gone to your head!
ReplyDeleteWow those are really nice. Where are the figures from as I am not sure if they are from the MoM sets. The Deep Ones which look great are different than the ones I have. Love the Formless Spawn.
ReplyDeleteThanks, John! They’re all from the latest MoM expansion, ‘Horrific Journeys’.
DeleteThanks....more temptation!
DeleteI really like all this painting work shown here. The Deep Ones specially, fantastic green tones
ReplyDeleteThanks, Benito! I’m quite happy with them, too.
DeleteCracking stuff. Your work this year has been proper eye candy
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Dave!
DeleteReally great work Barks. I second Dave’s comments on the quality of your output this year.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Peter, that’s very kind.
DeleteFantastic work! Love the deep ones,t th characters are all excellent!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain!
DeleteThese are really very good, very atmospheric. The four civilians and the two warlocks especially are fantastic! And then that jazz musician!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Emjenic!
DeleteFantastic! Thanks so much for the Giant Spider Barks (BTW, the beastie arrived a few days ago). Also loving those MoM figures. Just picked up Horrific Journeys and am looking forward to giving it a go.
ReplyDeleteA little reminder of our furry friends Down Under.
DeleteWonderfully horrific variety here. I think you should be especially pleased with the warlocks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Noel- they’re not the most evil looking figures.
DeleteWell done Barks! Those Dimensional Shamblers and the Deep Ones are my favourites of the bunch.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Moiterei! They certainly grew on me as I painted them.
