Lenihan's 2022

[lenihan]

First miniature of the year painted! It's Slug Eat Your Face, sculpted by Tom Meier for Thunderbolt Mountain (range now available through Ral Partha Legacy), based on a concept by his son Theo.

Oh, very nice indeed! I love your color choices and the eyes and teeth look magnificent! Well done.

great paint job on a quirky miniature.
i remember when this was first released tom said the design brief from his son had included the instruction that one eye had to be larger than the other '... so you can tell he's really crazy.'

Thank you - the teeth are probably my favourite feature of the whole sculpt!

Yes, his sons design brief was what sold my wife on it and the reason she got it for me as a Christmas present!

Anyway, not a very productive year so far, it has to be said. Only other thing I've finished has been this leechman which I painted to round out my unit of Nurgle Beastmen for a game at Harry's. It's a night horror from CP models, sculpted by Andrew May. See if I can get out the rut this month.

These are both really nice minis. Excellent bit of paint splodging

Indeed! My nurgle beastman are all very gribbly... not a goathead in sight.

Latest offering - a Demonomaniac from Krakon Games

^It's almost as though he's been touched by two different chaos gods. We've got some rot and some whimsy, so I'd say the lords of plague and change have made an appearance. Maybe more. That nice big startling bone is quite warlike. I'm sure it would be most adept at providing blood for the blood god. And the very fact that he was once a Fomorian implies a certain sort of interest in the particular pleasures in life. Pantheon of chaos in one tidy package. Well done!

Interesting interpretation! From The Dying of the Light where they're introduced, it seems that Demonomaniacs are quite unstable and short-lived. Perhaps the only thing that's keeping this one together, rather than causing the host to be ripped apart, are that the ruinous forces possessing the host body are holding one another in check. For now...

^I will of course admit to no expertise in the forces of Chaos. (Being one of the army types I've thus far not attempted. I have a few odd miniatures sitting around, and I've read my copy of The Lost and the Damned, but there's a lot in there I've forgotten. I'll go back and look Demonomaniacs up. From the Dying of the Light, huh? Interesting.

Really haven't hit my stride painting this year (a lot of stresses at work). Here are some some fimir I finished last month and have only just got around to photographing. Two classic sculpts by Nick Bibby, and one more recent from Diego Serrate.

I'm hoping there'll be a bit of chance for relaxation over the next couple of months, and that'll lead to a step-change in painting ahead of BOYL.

 

[Loose Loser]

They look great. Got that old D&D vibe.

 

[Fimm McCool]

Yay! Top boggy monsters.

 

[twisted moon]

looking good. good luck with getting back on track with painting.

 

[lenihan]

A couple of goblins for a game at Bring Out Your Lead. Foundry and WWG.

C46 Elf Villager, also painted up for a scenario at this year's BOYL

 

[symphonicpoet]

I love the old fantasy civilians. I wish the orc villagers in particular had made it into space. Neat old miniature! Thank you.

 

[twisted moon]

lovely work.

 

[lenihan]

Eeek I've neglected this a bit.

I did paint a fair amount more for BOYL, will need to take some proper photos.

In the meantime, here's an OS minis halfling.

 

[Fimm McCool]

He's marvellous.
