Painting some of my backlog of Reaper miniatures, in preparation for the Bones release in March.

Just starting on Kaladrax, waiting on some resin terrain from England that I m using for the base.

I was originally planning on painting the metal Kaladrax, then selling it off. Now... I am growing attached.



The original Kaladrax does not have an exciting pose, but between the long skinny tail and the well defined bones, it will be easy to convert and customize - I will likely take the hind legs apart at the knees and ankles, reposition and pin them into a completely different pose.

This is the building that I am using as the base -


He will be coming up the side, tail wrapped around the building.

The scenic base of the new model was inspirational - and made me realize how I could pose the metal one to better effect.

I still yhink that the new Kaladrax is a more impressive figure....

The Auld Grump

found a nice page of kickstarter with roll-over close ups of entire hoard.

I'm super excited for March as well. I went in at the Vampire level. I got a little impatient waiting so I bought a few Bones minis from Auggies to practice on...

I wasn't sure what to base them with (round, round w/lip, or square), but I finally settled on square Citadel bases like those from Warhammer Fantasy. 20mm for the Kobolds, 25mm for the regulars, and 40mm for the large ones like the Troll and Chieftain. I left their molded bases on and puttied on the base to make it transition. I'm still touching them up, but I think they came out OK. I'll post some pics when I get them done.
