Metalchaos Noir Art

During his long walk down the Abyss.
With the weight of a thousand souls on his shoulders.
Near the howling Crypt of Rays.

Talarand met with a Beast at the Gates of Abandonment, down the deep voids of emptiness. He first thought it was a Cerberus but he soon realized that the abomination was a Chimeric Cù-Sìth. It had three heads, all incarnations of evil. The head of a vulture attacking with a giant beak was extending from its right side. At the center was the head of a rat face wolf with sharp teeth. On its left flank it had a praying mantis head with all seeing eyes and huge mandibles.

The fearless warrior knew that the aberration was weakened by a toady foot and atrophied wings. That brood of chaos should have been keep chained with magical metal, he mumbled. Reaching for a scroll, he adjured a spell of magic circle against chaos upon his armor.

As magical silver lights began to dance around him, he hammered his tower shield on the ground and crouched to avoid the sharp vulture beak. He could see the madness in the eyes of the bull size hound. In a swift move, he plunged his sword deep in the toothy maw.

Snakeman Champion WereAnaconda

Here's some pictures of the Snakeman Champion "WereAnaconda" I painted this month for Reaper Miniatures Winter Challenge.









This one was entered in the scenic base category, so I took time to elaborate a jungle scene. All the plants are plastic aquarium plants that I repainted.

Holiday Mouslings Winter Wonderland

Well, it's been some time I didn't post anything. So, here is a WIP of the project I'm currently working on. It's a small Holiday Mousling Winter Wonderland diorama.
These adorable Reaper Miniatures models were sculpted by Gene Van Horne.

The Mouslings are already painted, so this WIP will focus on creating a basic snow effect.







I'm using a 5 x 50 x 50 mm aluminum plate for the base. I glued coins under the models to create some height and allow me to make an embossed terrain.




I've filled the gaps with Milliput two part epoxy putty and then glued the models over it.



I added more putty to integrate the Mouslings base in the ground.




I painted the base to get a frozen ground aspect.




I poured Army Painter artificial snow flock over white glue.



And, completed the scene by adding dry herbs.
