Plodding Along on The Gaming Table, Part I: Updated: 06/05/116

That is an awesome piece.

Who needs a chair when you can sit on the floor!

WOW! Are these two going to be in the forest ( ) or are you making a crazy bar for the table? The work is amazing (as usual)... the ONLY critique, and is minor at best... it would have been nice if one of the mugs had some foamy beer. Anyways... it looks amazing! Love to see the pics in this thread (my fav of all time!)

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the kind comments, Guys...I see I'm not the only insomniac around here.
There's going to be (eventually) a tavern & some work sheds up on the cliff at Heep's Place; these two should be part of the regular crowd.

This is what's underway for the Spooky Forest Project (from HELL!):

West Wind's Pumpkin Head Jones:









AND his W.I.P. Friends:







As always, you commentary, positive or not, is most welcome.

DIVINE!!!

Although I really liked the last pumkin-head people... this ones I REALLY like. This ones look spooky!

Pumpkin Head Jones looks great too!

Thanks, Mord! Jones & his Gang are all from the West Wind Gothic Horror range. There should be quite a few more showing up here including some Circus Folks.

Ok... when did I got unsubscribed from this awesome topic?
I didn't receive any mails lately and now I noticed a new post while browsing the forum!
Many cool stuff I didn't had seen!! Argh!! Good thing I still have my lurking skills!
Great work Deaf as always! Keep them up!
(btw is that drunk Snorri before he became a Slayer?)

...this might be the last moments before Snorri had those nails pounded into his skull. Thanks for the kind commentary, Gatlag...glad you liked the new developments.

Here's the first group of completed minis:

Pumpkin Head Jones (West Wind's name):







AND the Sack Head Killers:

















AND The Group Photo:



These Guys will be joined by Yet More Pumpkin Heads from West Wind & Moi. In the mean time, your comments & critiques would be hardily appreciated...for the most part.

Deaf the standard and prolific nature of your work puts me to shame!

Loving the new sackhead killers - makes me want to break out a Mordheim warband or two.

Laney:D

Thanks, Laney...I'm delighted you like them. As far as prolific goes, you have to figure that this about the only thing I do...the joys of disability.

That reminds me though I have these Pumpkin Head W.I.P. pieces...I got the idea for these ones from a Rackham piece I saw on C.M.o.N.:

YES!!!! Updates! I was wondering if your senility had finally gotten your brain and made your forget your adoring fans (me!) who love pics! These are the same heads you had for that commission? AWESOME! They fit your table! The bases are not 'practical' for gaming but they sure are beautiful!

Spookie (2nd model) has a great pose... kindda like "C'mon you veggie heads... follow me!" and the reaper (last model) is very intimidating looking! Great job... thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Mord...glad you like them. As far as the bases go, they're pretty much usable in any game that doesn't have line of sight rules. That is pretty much any non G.W. game.
Did you catch the first group I posted today, the Sack Head Killers?

Deafnala

Wow!

Those are great. Keep up the good work!

Thanks, Amigo! I'm glad you like them...positive feedback is SO motivating.

Wow! Quite an update after some time of "radio silence".
Great work (again) Deaf!

Thanks MUCHO, Gatlag! I've been lacking the motivation to paint/post photos for a couple of weeks...could be Spring Fever.

Looking good. I like how you always take the time to finish all of the little details like interesting basing on your models. It really gives a nice finished look.

Thanks, Narcissus! Doing the bases really is my thing; it sets the mini in a place & time creating a bit of narrative....glad you noticed/liked the result.

This is so true. The models are just 'primed' (DeafNala style... which means that they look better than any statue we try to make!) but the base is so cool the models look done. HAHA!

As advertised, the first of the latest batch (from the patch) is done. SO without further ado, here he is:





Once more your comments would be GREATLY appreciated...for the most part.

I really like this one. I think it is because the highest highlights are a little more muted. The model itself looks very well blended and highlighted without having extreme highlights. Lots of character. I really love the pose and expression on the face. Is this one of your sculpts or is it from another company?

Thanks, Narcissus...this one is my favorite in the Group. Glad you like him.
He's a joint effort; i.e., his torso & legs are G.W.'s Night Goblin with Zombie arms, a Reaper Jack O' Lantern head & modified (G.S.) shoes & a wire belt.

LOVE HIM!

He looks very psychotic... ready to leap and carve YOU! Excellent color palette with the basing. It is perfect!

Great conversion. I really thought he was a single piece metal cast model. That is a sign of a great conversion!
