I remember not liking these much at the time, but upon painting them, I've discovered they have real character.

Nurgle army #13 - Citadel 28mm Converted Great unclean one
A totally unintentional paintjob, I'm pretty happy with the results. He came to me from my friend Hugh Fottrell, who had converted him to a bud swilling baseball cap wearing ruffian, but sadly the work had deteriorated and broken, so I set about restoring it. I was a little overzealous when removing some of the milliput additions and lost some detail on the face. This mostly had to be painted in freehand.
The swampy base was made with GOLDEN coarse pumice texture gel, some twigs, tufts and leaves, and repeated coats of Tamiya XF19 Smoke for the 'wet bits'

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.
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.
