I’m prepping for some Rangers of Shadowdeep games, working on a range of bits and pieces from all sorts of sources.

Painting the Sepulchral Guard was fun, so I got stuck into another undead Underworlds warband immediately afterwards.

Seven skeletons painted primarily for Warhammer Underworlds, but really to be used in any game where I want to get my Harryhausen on.

A mystical stone circle proves no deterrent to some evil hyena-pig-dogs.
Stonehenge, where demons dwell and cats meow, is an icon of the mythical race of druids and a recurring symbol of the faux mysticism of ROCK. Having a miniature stone circle/henge to send my tiny pretend people into, in order to summon demons/drink cider/ingest hallucinogens/tell lies in order to get laid [DELETE AS APPLICABLE] has been on my to do list since I was a kid.
The end result looks a little more like a series of carefully balanced Milky Way bars than I had hoped, but it’s fun all the same.
Although miniature stone circles are one of the easier terrain projects for a hobbyist to make from cheap/free and easily available materials, I bought this set. It was difficult to argue with the price.
I quite enjoy painting large Reaper Bones items. They are rugged and indelicate, which means that I tend to be quite happy working on them in a clumsy, slapdash fashion, similar to my lovemaking.
I spent a day in the sun painting this from start to finish… back in 2018. Being Reaper Bones, it had to be brush undercoated, but the warm, dry Irish summer’s day (yeah, really) made drying times rapid.
Witch Hunter Byron Maiden leads the faithful in search of pagans to burn.
I didn’t do anything particularly clever when painting it, just a fairly simple application of browns, greys and a little bit of green here and there.
I took a little bit of inspiration from this Warhammer TV tutorial, but diverged from it a fair bit. The principles and main approach used were the same though.

Citadel Chaos Warhounds
I quite like the (relatively) modern Citadel Miniatures “chaos warhound” designs. The consistent body shape – some sort of hyena-pig-dog – with minor differences in horns/tail/ears/etc appeals to me more than the random conglomeration of animal features that other Citadel chaos hounds often had. I like my beastmen to largely look like satyr for similar reasons: I like my chaos, organised. So I painted a box worth of these guys.
The idea was to paint them to look like pale skinned mutants, as suited for running around the Cursed Earth or the Harman Visitation Zone as the Mortal Realms, to make them as genre cross compatible as possible without diluting the look too much. With that I mind I went for a pale morlock/The Descent/radiation scorched style, pinkish and sore looking skin tone.
Witch Hunter Byron Maiden and his retinue hold the wild things of the forest at bay.

Byron Maiden is too old for this shiiiiddddd.
A group of us are planning to play Rangers of Shadowdeep soon, and the plan is to go for a Witch Hunter theme. Byron here will be my hard drinking, jaded example of the trope. He will always, without fail, refer to priests as “padre”.

The Adeptus Mechanicus Biologis dig site on Memphis IIX-4 : live to work, don’t work to live.
I painted a few Adeptus Mechanicus pieces for a game last year.
