I've had a large stash of 'Folk Horror' for about a year, comprised of miniatures from Ainsty, Crooked Dice, Midlam Miniatures/Woodbine, and Meridian/Gardens of Hecate. I've liked the film Wickerman for some time, and when I found out that Crooked Dice had a range loosely based on that genre, I decided to hunt for more.
I decided to make 'Folk Horror' my summer project, and while it is admittedly off to a slow start I have gotten somewhere.
I've been drawing packs at random- first up are some Crooked Dice 'Children of the Fields'.
First draw was the 'May Queens', one of my favorite packs from the range. I decided to paint Lady Winterly at the same time, as well as a girl I had 3D printed, from Tiny Furniture.
The next draw was a pack of 'Corn Dolls', crude animated scarecrows.
Up next, 'Some are Islanders'.
I love these models and I really like the painting you've done on them. The backdrops are really good too: very fitting for the folk horror theme!
ReplyDeleteAppreciated! The countryside backdrop is newly painted, seems a little saturated to me. I think I need to revisit it.
DeleteNice, I haven't seen those models before - and your paint work is fantastic as usual. Very cool project and looking forward to seeing the rest of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I planned to have it done in 2023, I don't think that will happen :)
DeleteWow - those May Queens are fantastic. Magic touch...
ReplyDeleteThe May Queens are indeed fantastic. I need to add those to my CD mummer men. Wickerman is a wonderful theme I have thought about for years. Really looking forward to your summer break project...
