From Curt: Klaus and Raegan in the Benighted Turnip Patch (19 points)

 
Those of you who read Sarah's post last week witnessed her spurning my generous, open-handed offer for her to paint terrain for my collection. I know, the nerve! Instead, the ungrateful woman decided to paint figures for herself, for, get this, 'her own personal enjoyment'. Pffft. Like, what's that all about? 

Anyway, having no luck in convincing her of her indentured servitude, her rendering assistance to me, I decided to do-up the &#*! turnip field myself. *

The turnip patch in question (around 5" x 12") is an old chestnut from the sadly closed 'Architects of War'. Like many of their terrain offerings, the field is a fairly substantial piece of thick resin, nicely detailed, with white metal fittings for the foliage. It was an easy build, finished with a quick skim coat of Liquitex to fill in any gaps, primed brown and then drybrushed up to spec. Easy Peasy, Lemon Squeezy.

Now, really, how hard would that have been for you to do, Sarah? True true, certainly not as hard as that frying pan you're holding rather menacingly. No worries. It's all good luv, I'm sure I have a nice tank, or fortification for you to work on to make it up... *

Next, I also have a couple more characters to add to the Moonstone collection. This time it's two Faun, Klaus and Raegan. 

The background story for this pair is that Klaus, being sort of an awkward fella, was teased mercilessly as a young faun by all the other kids. Well, teased by all except Raegan. Taking pity on him, the young Leshavult priestess took him under her wing, keeping him safe and taught him how to protect himself. They now work as a dynamic duo, with Raegan operating as a spell caster, while Klaus runs interference, wreaking havoc with his big-honkin' flail.

I limited the colours to mostly earth tones, so both of these painted up fairly quickly.



As you can see, Klaus DOES NOT need more cowbell.



The floaty Raegan, casting spells, ensuring Klaus remains a happy, healthy, murder hobo.




As to points, I don't think the field is worth more than 5, and the two characters, being over 40mm should give me 14, so 19 total?

Thanks for dropping in for a peek!

* Yes, my tongue took up prolonged residence in my cheek for this post. Perhaps to be joined by the rest of me on the couch. ;)

Well, folks, there you have it. The possibly-soon-to-be-late Snowlord's turnip patch! And two more rather bonkers Moonstone figures to boot! I'll go with your suggested points for the turnip patch.

I'll be the first to dare say it, just in case news breaks before next Tuesday, "The Snowlord is dead! Long live the Snowlady!"
