From DaveV: More Talisman Adventurers - (Gluttony) (50 points)

My latest post for The Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge XV are six more classic, pewter Talisman figures from Games Workshop/Citadel, released for their eponymous board game in the 1980's.

 Above, are the Ghoul, Halfling, and Assassin.

As with my previous entries, I used zenithal highlights to base coat the figures. I sketched in the flesh tones with acrylics, then highlight, shadow, and blend with tube oil paints. The rest of the figure is mostly acrylic or oil glazes, with details like spot highlights with oils.  The “steel” parts, are the burnished pewter of the figures, glazed with acrylics (Assassin's blade, Sorceress' medallion, and Druid's sickle).

I based the figures on hexagon bases to also be usable for Steve Jackson Games' classic TTRPG, The Fantasy Trip.

Below, the Sorceress, Thief, and Druid. 

I have now painted two dozen of the 50-odd pewter figures I have collected over the last 37 years. Twelve of those just in the last few weeks, LOL!

 

I am considering for my next Talisman figures the Gladiator, Satyr, Centaur, Warrior of Chaos, Gypsy, and Scout

One of the interesting characters from the game is the Ghoul. These loathsome fantasy creatures traditionally feast obscenely on the dead – and not just the freshly dead. Their other habits are too disgusting to describe. I thus submit these figures for the theme Gluttony.

Painting Challenge Totals:

(6 x 28mm figures) + Gluttony = 30 + 20 = 50 points

Hi Dave

Terrific figures and such a lovely paint job! I am in awe & wonderment at your use of oils, glazes and acrylics - very effective. The Talisman figures look great individually but en masse are superb. 

The Ghoul as representation of Gluttony is a good choice ... loathsome and obscenely hungry!

Looking forward to seeing which Talisman figures appear next 

Another 50 points to you!
