Gabriel Hounds - Crooked Dice Children of the Fields

I painted up four odd looking "Gabriel Hounds" from Crooked Dice's 'Children of the Fields' folk horror range. Not sure what the story is with these critters.

Straw Children and Sixhorn - Folk Horror - Gardens of Hecate - Meridian Miniatures

I've been slowly plugging along on my long Folk Horror project. As always, I drew a couple packs at random from the storage box and ended up with a few models from the Folk Horror Kickstarters by Meridian Miniatures and Gardens of Hecate. The long term project involves painting all of the Folk Horror models from the two Kickstarters, all of the Crooked Dice "Children of the Fields" range, plus some things from Woodbine Design and Ainsty. 

Without further ado, here are the Sixhorn and the Straw Children.

Crooked Dice Bunker Entrance Terrain

Here's a couple of resin terrain pieces from Crooked Dice. I painted them up a few weeks ago- they've been sitting on my desk for nearly a year I think. I used Forgotten Chapters decals on the bunker door screens and one on the top of the escape hatch.

Ventolin Pirates - BigMrTong - Rogue Trader 40k

One of my all time figure ranges is the 40K Adventurers, shown in White Dwarf 99. Among them, one of my favorites was the mysterious "Ventolin Pirate". I hung on to the one I had acquired in the very early 90s, and manged to snag a few more over the years. I converted a few to get a little variety and finished them up as part of my Adventurers project a few years ago. 


Funny enough, not long after that, the 3D sculptor BigMrTong designed a set of ten as STLs, and also produced them in metal. Naturally, I grabbed a set. They'll be getting some vehicle support soon, at least that's the plan...

Folk Horrors - Bellman and Walkers - Gardens of Hecate and Meridian Miniatures

Adding an entry to my Folk Horror project- some creepy striding creatures and some fearsome bell-bearing beastmen. These are from a Kickstarter collaboration between Meridian Miniatures and Gardens of Hecate.

40K Confessor - Cherub - Sanctifiers Killteam - Adeptus Ministorum

Up for perusal is a character from the Sanctifiers 40k Killteam "Blood and Zeal" release. I collect the Imperial nutcases belonging to the Inquisition, Ministorum, and Sororitas factions, so this guy was a natural one to acquire. I painted up his cherub friend as well. Hope to get the rest of the options done soonish. I used some decals from Forgotten Chapters for the text and the little sigil on the cherub.

Just finished up some Lancer cavalry for the Imperial Parsnip army. Victrix horses and bodies, heads are Orfey 3D digitally kitbashed with Turnip28 helms. Greenstuff and miscellaneous other bits here and there.
