Hallowe'en special: Jack-o-bear lair

This was mostly created for a scenario in my DnD campaign this week, but a competition on the excellent Old School Miniatures group on Facebook spurred me on too.





The individual components are;
Decopatch pumpkin. This was 99p from my local art shop, the excellent Lawrence's. I liked the imperfections in the paper covering, suggesting roots and vines.

Have a spooky one!




Asgard 25mm FM71 Bugbear a.k.a. Jack-o-bear (first version)

This is a real monster sized Jack-o-bear, and a pretty early sculpt from Asgard, I suspect one of Bryan Ansell's.
Look into my eyes!






Citadel 25mm Runequest Box 4: Beastmen - Jack-o-bears

I loved this creature when it came out and remember adding an extra one to a shop order to go with the one from my boxed set. A fairly dark and simple scheme to really make the pumpkin heads stand out. Although they're the same model, I bent the arms to make them sufficiently different.

Citadel 25mm FF17 Minotaur (repaint)

My original paintjob was beginning to look a lot weary, so I took it upon myself to repaint him. I think it's an improvement.







Citadel 28mm Plastic Space Ork (2000 release)

Another inherited Ork with a quick repaint that will become one of the contingent of larger Boyz in my army.

Iron Claw 28mm 500301 Goblin stone thrower and crew

I painted the crew up for this 1988 Bob Olley release when I needed some random goblinoids for my DnD game, so I thought I had better paint up the war engine too. I wanted something different for the shields at the front, so chose coffin-shaped ones and attempted to replicate the look in an angry goblin's eyes. Not sure if I caught it really, but it's always worth trying new things out.











Citadel 28mm JD3 The Angel gang - Judge Child

I agonised about the colour of the birthmark for a while, but the majority I have seen in real life are red.
