PaulS: Golem's Haunt (34 points)

 *Phew* 

We made it past the Spartoi, but now we have to sneak through the Golem's Haunt before we find somewhere quiet to hide for the night...

Standing either side of the exit are two giant stone statues that look like ancient warriors. Their bearing looks menacing, but not threatening; made slightly sad thanks to a coating of moss and bird droppings. We look at each other and wonder why this place is called the Golem's Haunt as it seems empty.

Something clatters behind us... just a rat. Turning back we could have sworn those statues weren't in that pose last time we looked!

Oh god... RUN!


These are, again, from Crooked Dice and stand about 40mm tall

You'll be glad to know that this is the last post for today! Sadly I didn't quite break the 200 points (by 1 measly point!) as the other batch of figures didn't quite get finished... will I make it to level 2 of the dungeon on day 2? We shall see... there are xmas presents to paint, so I suspect not.

  1. That's a helluva run Paul - I'm guessing tomorrow will see you on the next level!

    1. depends if I manage to bring anything to the painting table that fits the next rooms (or the sorceress). At present I don't think I have anything immediate... certainly not the bits that are currently on the table :D

  3. Your painting is as relentless as those Golems.
    More amazing looking figures, the green patches are awesome. The bird 'weathering' is a great touch too.

  4. Even more killer stuff. Love the classic Greek vibe to these guys.

  5. Okay. I should not have commented on your first submission, but what did I know? That is quite a painting spree and these again look very good!

  9. Impressive opening salvo, Paul. Good luck withe the Xmas painting (I guess anything you paint for presents should be countable for the Challenge, too, if of suitable ilk).

  12. 200 points in one day and a target of 500 🤔 have you missed a nought off the end of your target 🤣

    1. If I could keep up that pace, I wouldn't have a pile of unpainted figures! Plus, once work restarts in a few weeks painting time will mostly vanish

  13. What did I say before? If you are going to paint fast at least make them shoddy
