Dark Elves - Oldhammer 3rd Edition Fantasy Battle - Dark Sea Shields

Several months ago I was approached to 3d model an old Dark Elf shield for a guy. I'm assuming he wanted to make a full unit with the same shield. It was a pretty quick job, and I got to thinking maybe I could do a few more "Dark Sea" themed shields. 

 After clearing out months of commission work, I got down to painting the miniatures to go with them. I think four of these are old 2nd/3rd edition Citadel and three are Marauder. 

 

I based the colors for the Dark Elves off this album artwork by Rodney Matthews:                             

 

 

 

The "Dark Sea Shields" are available as STLs on my Cults3d page.

Rag Devils - Folk Horrors 1 & 2 Full Sets Painted

When a third Kickstarter was announced for more Ana Polanšćak Folk Horrors, I was a little dismayed because I hadn't gotten through the first two sets yet. I decided to see what I had left (instead of drawing randomly like I'd been doing)  and it turned out I only had four left, the Ooser and some Rag Devils. 

With these completed, I am able to say, for now, that I have all the Folk Horrors painted. On to the rest of the Crooked Dice sets now!

Ooser - Folk Horrors - Meridian Miniatures and Gardens of Hecate

“Ooser” from the Folk Horrors Kickstarter by Meridian Miniatures/Gardens of Hecate.

I decided to look this one up before I painted it- some of the folk horror miniatures seem to be invented, while others have a basis in some actual folklore. This one is based on the Dorset Ooser, which is a pretty interesting little rabbit hole. I decided to give him the multi-color treatment I used on the Crooked Dice mummermen I have painted previously.

About a day after painting him it dawned on me that he’s on the cover of the much beloved “Folklore, Myths, and Legends of Britain” book (which I still haven’t fully read 😞).

Happy Solstice! 

Mr Mangel - Attack Dogs - Mast Beasts - Folk Horror - Crooked Dice Children of the Fields

Adding a few more miniatures to the folk horror project I've been working on for a couple years now. These are from Crooked Dice's "Children of the Fields".

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.
