Beware the Thee Headed Dog

This statue to the fearsome Cerberus is a clear warning to those who would trespass into the forbidden (to the living that is) "Land of the Dead."

For those who pass this warning forfeit their mortal lives as they enter the Realm of Hades.

This is a plastic piece I finished today.

Cloud Dream Dragons

Hokage (Firelight), Hoshiakari (Moonlight) and Usuakaiki (Twilight) are three sibling cloud dragons.

Their specialty is to appear in the dreams of humans a warn them of future dangers.

Although most of the people they visit ignore these portents, those that do are rewarded with good luck.

These three pieces are plastic, and I finished they yesterday.

Shieldmaidens Come in All Sizes

Lurre, Murre and Zurre are three dwarf sisters who have joined the male clan warriors. 

No stranger to combat, the three sisters have gained a powerful reputation for their fearlessness and deadly skills in combat.

With their family totem to protect them, this fearsome trio of Shieldmaidens have never known defeat.

These Dwarf Shieldmaidens are plastic pieces I painted this week.

Dwarf leader Norro Biggorbb of the Clan Sonn O'orbb was my last piece I finished in 2024. All told I painted 906 pieces in 2024 ranging in size from 1/285 (about 2.5mm) scale World War Two infantry to a 110mm (4.33 inches) Greek Titan Atlas.

When Death Goes to WAR

The nightmare sight no one wants to see, "Death" in his most "War-like" visage.

Death in his war-gear is a plastic piece I painted this week.

Ghost-Spider is Here

Ghost-Spider (aka Gwendolyne "Grace" Maxine Stacy, Spider-Woman and Spider-Gwen) has all the standard powers of spider-man as well as the gliding skill and the ability to use a multiverse travel device.

As a native of Earth-65, Gwen was bitten by a radioactive spider and turned into the female version of the more famous Spider-Man. While some see her as a criminal and others a hero, she is actually just a conflicted youth trying to make the World a better place.

Ghost-Spicer is a plastic piece from Crisis Protocol that I painted this month.

You Cook's What's You Find's

Master cook and tribal leader of the "Haf Emppte Pot Clan, Skrtch'M Cleen is heading to the clan nest for dinner.

His pot is full of spice sauces to juice up the soup. 

The venom from the 125mm fangs of his pet cave spider, "Sloo Dth," adds a real extra kick to the soup.

Which it really needs as it's mostly toads, slime and fungus for the clan tonight, if only he could scrounge a little meat...

Ah,"we'r in luck thinks Skrtch'M Cleen" for here comes some "Long Pork" in a can, just in time for dinner. Brave and cursed Hiktos Nuluk only thought is "Here we go again-engage the foul creature!"  (see World Historyprof: The Continued Adventures of Brave Hiktos Nuluk for his back story)

Skrtch'M Cleen is a plastic piece I painted over the weekend.

Fire Drake

When we say "Fire Drake" we mean a true beast of fire dreaded throughout the land.

Immune to normal blades and bolts, the Fire Drake can only be harmed by weapons of cold and water spells.

As the Fire Drake is fire, he does not breath fire, rather his bite literally injects fire into his victim's bodies.

Luckly for all, the Fire Drake is as rare as it is deadly, even so wore upon those that stumble upon one.

The Fire Drake is a plastic piece I painted earlier this month.

Monsters, Monsters Everywhere

Brave Hoplite Hiktos Nuluk has found himself in a most unusual situation-surrounded by monster from the future.

Actually, facing off against a horrible beast, god or demi-god is very common for our poor cursed hoplite. (see World Historyprof: The Continued Adventures of Brave Hiktos Nuluk for his back story)  Engaged by four at a time seems a bit over kill.

Brave Hiktos Nuluk mus battle the beasties Frankenstein's Monster and the Wolfman... 

the Undead Imhotep Mummy...

and Undead Count Dracula the vampire...what's a brave hoplite to do!

The "Horror Monsters" are a special pack from Crisis Protocol by Atomic Mass Games, I painted them within the last month. Brave Hiktos Nuluk, who I use to show the size of creatures, is a metal 25mm piece I painted in the 1970's.

Dracula some stages of painting.

Glued and ready for priming.

I hand prime all my pieces. In Drac's case I used a charcoal black.

Next comes the first dry brushing of metal, an antique gold in this case.

Unfortunately, the photos of the painting steps of red, black, grey and white where lost when I got my new phone.

Here Dracula is ready for highlights.

Now I am ready for the game board, my opponents will tremble in the power of the King of the Night.

This Dracula is a plastic piece from Atomic Mass Games for Crisis Protocol. I finished him yesterday.
