Other thread died and so here’s the new one to post stuff in until it dies, too.

I wanted to share more of the Genestealer Cult and Inquisitor. Some more angles and WIP shots:

    Owlbear my mom wanted after seeing it in the shop. This was a Reaper Miniatures: Bones model. Was honestly kind of annoying cleaning this thing. There were mould lines and gaps everywhere that were hard to reach because it was pre-assembled. Anyone buying from this line should be careful to inspect the model and get the one with the fewest defects.

    Also @Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net: no jelly over these gains. You could look this ripped if you worked out more instead of eating so much beanis and dirt.

    Underpainting/grisaille of the giants WIP. I’ll post the basecoat shots when my phone is charged.

    This is what I’m currently working on (and being a lazy ass since they’ve been sitting unfinished now for like a year):

    Jungle Swarms to go with my Gnomes to make a Lizardman army. I have six bases of these, some terror birds, a cobra, mushroom men, and bug men I’ve been painting together in a batch. I’ve hit the image limit again so I’ll post those too later, plus maybe I’ll go take some pics tonight of the WIP with actual paint on them.

      Yeah Reaper minis tend to have lots of gaps, which I think is mostly due to them being originally cast in metal. Imo even more off-putting are the integrated bases which are always weird shapes that aren’t useful for any games.

      I have a different owlbear (see below) which I got unassembled that had some gaps but I figured it was good enough that I couldn’t be bothered to get in there and fill everything, especially with the feather texture. I mostly just use my Reaper stuff for some easy low-effort speedpainting these days.

      Love the little cartoon/chibi pig on the second jungle swarm, it is the most dangerous predator of all.
