#15 Its a Purple Worm!

Here it is, a Purple Worm.  Not a very exciting miniature.  It was an expensive one though.  I ended up getting a speeding ticket in the mail that I got on the way home from picking this guy up.  From what I could find on the internet this is a 1982 Giant Worm miniature released by Citadel.  I guess I can add the Games Workshop tag to my post now right? Any ways what can I say about this other than its a terrible sculpt.  I only say this because I know I can do better than this, and I have.  It wasn't fun to paint, just layering purple, then purple with black wash, then layers of more purple.  The base I made out of Hirst Arts Castle Molds. It looks like the base is 3''x 3'' but its actually about 1/3 smaller than that.  I thought it would look weird if I based him on to large of a base since the mini isn't as huge as it is supposed to be.

#14 Granadier 1984 Vampire

I know I said in the past that I have painted to many vampires but here is another. I think this one might be my favorite. Also, I know I am far behind my goal, but I have another couple minis I have painted that I will be posting soon. I think sometimes the pressure of putting together blog posts scares me off of finishing projects. I have about 13 different minis on the go, but I think I have gotten a little bit of a second wind. I feel I can catch up and finish my goal by next feb. They say us Albertans are getting an early winter this year, sounds like a good excuse to spend time inside painting. Any ways here's the figure. Let me know what you think. 

I know its been a little while.

I know its been a little while since my last post, and I wanted to assure all of you that I am still painting.  I have been working on a bunch of lizard men for a Song of Blade and Heroes war band.  Happy news, my bones figures finally arrived, I want to do a post fully of all the ones I got.  I am really impressed with them all, especially how firm the larger models are.  Anyways if any of you are wondering why I haven't posted in a while lots of things have been happening this summer.  I am still excited to finish my goal, just have a little catching up to do.
