Today I based three #minis on washers with magnets and prepped two more.
Based: two undead wolves from #ReaperMiniatures #03736 Dread Wolves (2) multi-pack and a #zombie from #03471 Zombies (3) multi-pack.
Prepped: the other two #zombies from #03471.
I don't like #03471 Zombies (2) as much as two I painted in Feb. from #03601 Ronnie and Reggie, Zombies (2), but I want more metal zombies. I'd like a sizeable zombie horde.
Tonight, soon: Priming...
Here she is in all her glory. She hasn't actually made it to a table yet though, because the group that was on-track to meet her fell apart over 2020.
She was just meant to show-up and demand they tell her which way Krampus went. She was hunting #Krampus and the party had seen him the previous session.

I like #MetalMiniatures. It is difficult to find metal miniatures of all the creatures I would like to have for my #TTRPG campaign.
In this instance, I'd like to find a metal gug that is decent. #ReaperMiniatures has a metal gug, but it's silly and cartoonish. (It looks like vagina dentata with limbs.)
The #PathfinderRPG gug has great art and I'd love to find something along the lines of their artwork. I've found some resin versions, but metal is elusive.
My #miniatures from #CrookedDiceMiniatures arrived a day earlier than estimated.
I got the new "Meddling Kids" set representing the gang from Scooby Doo. Between being sculpts of cartoon characters and being from new molds, the casts are very clean.
I probably won't base/paint them right away, but I am looking forward to it. I might not be able to wait.
The new #undead minis are more useful at the table so should be prioritized.
I've done something unforeseen: I've ordered MORE metal #miniatures.
OK, not really unforeseen. I wanted these miniatures before but needed to buy better miniature storage/transport first.
I ordered from #CrookedDiceMiniatures, who have a bunch of the #OtherworldMiniatures sculpts. I got the Otherworld #Ghouls (naked) and #Ghasts (clothed).
I also got a #skeleton warrior and Crooked Dice's new "Meddling Kids" 5-pack.

In this week's YouTube video we took a deep dive into the WoodFolk. Here are two of your Curadh (command) choices, or you can take your Makar (battle bard) as an Eachraidh (elite) option. #Shivershield #thewoodswargame #fantasyminiatures #fantasywargaming #oldhammer #metalminiatures #fantasywargame
So a week ago I posted that I got a #miniatures case with metal trays.
I magnetized a some of my minis but I had to stop because I ran out of #magnets, some miniatures were too small for the magnets, and some were completely filled with #Kneadatite "Green Stuff" epoxy underneath.
I ordered a cheap #Dremel and I've been using it to grind out the Green Stuff. I also ordered a package of mixed-size magnets so now I have some for the smaller miniatures.
I bought a #miniatures case. It's wood with metal trays and a plexiglass front. I bought magnets that I attached to some miniatures, but some of the miniatures I had filled the bottoms with epoxy so they were flat. I've ordered a Dremel to drill the epoxy for the magnets.
I need another magnet option for large metal figures. In testing my large #Krampus #miniature fell. He snapped from his base, his hand came off, and his paint chipped two places.
This week I prepped three #ReaperMiniatures for my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav session on 21 February.
I painted three zombies but one is a pirate #zombie with a sword (#14428). I painted him as a gray-skinned ash wight (variant cairn #wight). His sculpt resembles a skeleton with withered skin over his bones, dressed as a sailor. The others (#03601) look decrepit and wear rags.

I ordered more #Miniatures yesterday in spite of the fact that I really need a better way to transport more to my #Pathfinder sessions.
I got some zombies, some zombie wolves, a wraith with a scythe, giant rats, four humans (including Sir Forscale), a set of Halloween-themed familiars, a well-armored skeleton/death knight, a pennangalan, and a leucrotta ("badger wolf"). All are metal #ReaperMiniatures ordered from #Pippd on Ebay.
I let my #cultist #miniatures (#ReaperMiniatures 03940) wait on my mantelpiece unfinished for months. (Along with a #skeleton mini, I'm not sure the brand, that is also in a cloak.)
I decided to paint on them again this week. I painted their skin a few days ago but it was too pink so today I corrected that. I've painted the metals, wood, and leathers now. I've put off the hardest part: I haven't painted their eyes yet.

I'm very tempted to buy more #miniatures, but I really need to get a better and/or additional way to transport my existing metal minis as I'm already having trouble transporting them to my game nights.
Rather than buying more miniatures, I should look into buying a miniature transport solution.
Then I can buy more miniatures. I think I'd like to get some skeleton archers.
These are the cultist minis in question, if it helps inspire any color ideas.

I bought some #cultist #miniatures (#ReaperMIniatures 03940) for my #Pathfinder1e game. They're three miniatures all wearing matching robes and carrying daggers. I might also paint a #skeleton mini in a matching robe.
What color should I paint their robes?
I'll probably use them as demon cultists of #Jezelda (female demon lord of werewolves) but they might worship other demons as the need for cultists arises.
I dropped one of my #OtherworldMiniatures spider #miniatures. Its rear legs bent. In trying to bend its legs back, the first segment of one of its rear legs broke off and fell in the floor. I can't find it.
But... the spider still looks OK missing part of a leg segment there. Maybe it is a seasoned fighter and lost part of a leg in combat?
I think I'm going to make it the "tough" spider.
I have all three primed and drying now.
In #P1e #Ustalav, a player told me travel was too long, so I planned to shorten travel and might not have a combat encounter so they reach the city sooner.
The player canceled for tomorrow's game so I talked to the group; we're going to run the travel at the rate I had originally planned. The player is just missing a session of travel he doesn't like.
And I get to use my newly painted #miniatures tomorrow.

I've worked on #miniatures this week that I wanted for my #P1e #Ustalav game Saturday. I wasn't sure I'd have them finished but now all they need is some sand or something on their bases and some sealer on them.
I'm not sure I'll use them Saturday though because last session a player expressed that our travel was taking too long, so I might skip the encounter so they get to the city this session.

I just learned about another English miniature company today.
Midlam Miniatures.
https://www.midlamminiatures.co.uk/
I looked through their catalog and found some stuff I like.
I really like the miniatures they have listed as "vampire goblins." They're as close as I've found to a #Pathfinder1e #dretch, and I've been looking for something to use as a dretch for awhile now.

My order from #OtherworldMiniatures arrived today (07 August 2024). It was shipped from the UK to the US in surprisingly good time.
I got a Marilith demon, a trio of spiders, and a Grendel figure. The Marilith came in four parts (body, tail, and two unattached arms), but the others are all single-piece castings.
The spiders might pose a basing challenge for me; only their spindly legs touch the ground.

I received a notice early this morning that a package I ordered from the UK is shipping. No idea how long it will take to arrive, but it's shipping.
I placed the order on 10 July 2024. It was for a miniature manufacturer (#OtherWorldMiniatures) closing/retirement sale with everything on the site 50% off so I knew it would be awhile to ship. I missed the Pig-faced #Orcs, they were sold out when I heard about the sale.

I got my #DarkswordMiniatures yesterday.
They included a freebie #miniature. I don't know if that's random or because I'm a new customer.
I got my new #Owlbear and Cubs (DSM4634) and Female Vampire (DSM1197) cleaned and ready for priming, and prepped some steel washer bases for them.
I'm excited to get that owlbear on the table in my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game, though its CR (4) is too high to actually use soon.
It took me two months to finally place an order for #miniatures. I guess I've been distracted by other things, and sending money other directions.
I just ordered #DarkswordMiniatures #Owlbear and Cubs (SKU DSM4634) and Female Vampire (SKU DSM1197).
I still haven't finished the pair of #Paizo #Kalavakus #demons I had started painting; I focused instead on lower CR stuff for my low level game.

Just did a #TouchUp to a #miniature I painted years back; I saw some paint had worn off. The mini has seen a lot of play at the table as a re-occurring NPC, so it was showing some wear and tear.
Paint on the edge of the miniature's green hood was worn off. I didn't try to match the color, but instead primed the bald spots and used a lighter green color to apply a new highlight to the hood and cloak. Added other highlights as well.
I want to buy #miniatures but I can't decide which ones I want to buy first.
I'm torn between a #DarkswordMiniatures #Owlbear and Cubs, or #OtherworldMiniatures Pig-faced #Orcs as possible discretionary purchases this month.
If I order from Otherworld Miniatures it will be shipped from the UK so will take the longest to arrive.
I'm currently painting a pair of #Kalavakus #demons I ordered from #Paizo last month.

So I'm trying to fill out the ranks of my demon hordes metal #miniatures for #ttRPG.
The one I'm looking for right now that I can't find is the lowly dretch.
I'm hoping to find something that resembles the art style of the #Pathfinder1e dretch.
Basically a loin-clothed small "ugly-baby" or "dad-bod ghoul" look. It's a small creature though, so like goblin-sized.
Any suggestions?

My green stuff epoxy came today. I filled holes in washers I used for bases on #ReaperMiniatures goblin wolves (essentially greater #barghest) and I started basing #CrookedDiceGames hurdy-gurdy man that I plan to use as an advanced #bogeyman in my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign.
The next #miniature I want to get based is #BombshellMiniatures 20002 Shunkaha, which is a gorgeous metal #werewolf with a tomahawk (and an optional hat) that stands at 42mm.
Here is my #CrookedDice #redcap #miniature fully painted.
Front and back shots.
I bought two of these guys but I haven't started the other one yet.
As with my other #miniatures, he's painted with #Reaper #MasterSeriesPaints.
I plan to use him as vicious #fey in my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav campaign.

The #ReaperMiniatures #metalminiatures (#pewter) I ordered Sunday (07 May) arrived today (10 May) even though their estimated arrival was 18 May. I'm not complaining.
I have four ready to be primed.
The goblin wolves (02710) are much nicer than I expected, as they're big enough, IMO, to be greater barghests instead of just #barghests. That works better for my game. I've mounted them on 2-inch bases. I'm excited about them.
Now for some painting...
