From PeterB: Fantasy and other shizznizz - 85 points

 

Its a bit of a mish mash post this one. I genuinely couldn't think of a large group of models that I had left to cover the category of fantasy (obviously I have lots of fantasy models but they cover lots of other categories I want to cover on my journey). So, its a single model covering the category and what could be more fantasy than a dragon. This one is from Archon Studios. (Slightly smaller than the last of their dragons I painted.)

Also this week I have been painting a few odds and sods. Firstly, I saw this lonely truck in the charity shop the other day and it looked so tattered and worn with wobbly wheels, I felt it would never be loved again in its current form. So, what better than to give a new lease of life in Gaslands! Yep, one for for the fleet. Some added armour and a gun toting punk were all it needed. (As well as the paint job obviously.)

Sometimes I paint a model just to test a colour scheme before using it. (Last year I painted some hormagaunts in multiple reds and washes before selecting one for a dragon, if anyone remembers that.) This vintage Eldar was a practise for yellow. I couldn't decide whether to drybrush over brown or orange. This one is orange. It looks good for this chap, but I won't be using it for the other model later. (You'll have to wait a week or so to see what that is.)

Another practise model. This is a vampire hunter from Bad Squiddo Games. I really just wanted to know what a brown wash looked like over various different browns and whites. I actually washed him with a darker brown first, took some notes, then dunked him in water to clean it off quickly. I then gave him a sepia wash and got the result I wanted for some of these colours. I shall be using them again later.

Finally this trio also from Bad Squiddo. It was only when I started painting the werewolf that I realised the "rags" were actually a dress. I am therefore submitting her as an entry for Sarah's choice, although I am taking a natural route up to the next floor anyway.

Sylvain: A lovely submission. When I looked at the dragon, the word "cute" immediately sprang to mind. Thanks to you and a spiffy paint job, a toy was saved from the trash,a good deed that will not be left unrewarded, I am sure. Your lycanthropes and other  sci-fi/fantasy figures look very crisp.

P.S. Don't forget to add the Library Map 😁.
