From BruceR: More 10mm into the mix, Thanks to all (51 points)

At the end I continue down the road of 10mm.  

First, it's been a great challenge, and I've exceeded my goal by a considerable amount.   I again want to thank the minions (salute to Sylvain from the Wednesday crew) with great appreciation to Curt and Sarah.

My first entry for the end is a Forest Dragon Dogs of War hero on griffon.  I had previously painted a metal GW figure and didn't know what I wanted to do with this model to change it up.  While staring at it I thought of why not a parrot.  To the web.

So, with some help from web photos and parrot colors, speed paints I present Melvin the Magnificent on his griffon, Polly.

Not sure you can see, but Melvin has an eye patch "crazy"







Next, another wee wizard to flush out my forces.  I intend to run Warmaster Revolution at a monthly meet at Little Big Wars, Fargo, ND, in April.  Will need extra characters for the multiple 1000 pt factions I'll bring. 

The extra flames on this little folk help ID them on the battlefield.  

OOoo, 4 skulls, 2x shoulder pads, hat and staff.





While finishing up the next reinforcement was a bag of Chariot Miniatures from Magister Militum.  These were purchased sometime in 2008.  I have used their brothers as knights and light cavalry for Warmaster.  

Trapezilos, I'll have to work on the correct pronunciation.


I tried for bold shields to have them stand out at this scale.







While I have many projects on the shelves of opportunity I have seemingly run out of 10mm to paint.  I'll have to fix that problem.  

I did have some bits and bobs around so decided to add to the mix. 

Here are three more vampire counts characters from Forest Dragon.  

Black Coach (15 skulls) Vampire Lord, Necromancer (2 skulls)










So fun with the skeleton coming out of the ground with the 
magical mist swirling from the Necronomicon to the ground.






One bad ass vamp with a ruby ring


That looks to be it for me.  I do have a couple of small characters left, not sure if I'll get to them.  

Thanks to all for looking and comments here and in the past.

It goes without saying, but during turbulent times this zone of hobby and positivity really does help keep one well.  Plus, this is the first I've had the time to open and listen to music some of the "younger" minions have offered.  Good for the soul.

===================================
Sylvain: I don't know what kind of magic there is in your paint brush, but you work on these 10mm figurines continue to amaze me. I love the shimmering colors you use to make your models stand out. All in all, a great project for us Challengers to follow. Bravissimo!
