Beautiful skin on the goblins. Is the Elf's skin inspired by D&D drow art? It has this prurplebrownish tinge to it, if much lighter. I love his tunic.

I'm finished up Giant Wolves (Wargs/Chaos Hounds), Harpies (Gargoyle/Vampire bat beasties), Ghouls,
and am close to finishing my Nightgoblins (spearmen & archers), Ungors (skirmishers, brutes, and champion), Gors.

Also attempting to touch up pre-painted DDM orcs, see how that turns out.

No, I'm not rushing, I've just been using every free minute.

I've been prepping my Space Crusade minis. Got around half safely put on detailed resin bases. I'm using Basicks "Tech"-bases.
I find them really cool, but some of them are a little hard to work with in regard to placing actual minis.

Tasoe, depending on your WH gaming surface and other terrain pieces of course, I think the forest floor could use a little work.
I used to use sand painted brown with grass glued on top i spread out patches. It's super easy and looks really good.
Not my picture, but same basic gist. A warmer brown and greener grass will make it look more summer'y:

These look good. I might have to take a closer look into these when I start on my copy of Space Crusade |_P

I really think they match the style of the board really well.
Other similar bases are either too "alien" or too detailed. I looked around lot, and these were the best I found.
I got some of the classic plastic Tyranid Warriors (from the WD expansion) - They look awesome on the big 40mm round bases.

Thanks! No, nothing about dnd came up, just regular elf flesh colour, highlighted.

Thanks for the info. My surface is plain so far. I haven't added anything to it. I'll be sure to add some texture stuff on the forest floor once I get accustomed to those things. I have never used any grass, sand, small rocks or anything of this sort yet. My floor is just milliput painted green, dark washed, with some lighter green and yellow highlights.
In the future, the look in the picture you posted is something I'd like to recreate. Maybe not too detailed, no logs, big rocks and snow effects, but the same brownish sand.

Yeah, they went in full in that picture! But just sand and grass is really easy and looks great!
But heck! Even rocks, logs or mushrooms shouldn't be too hard to do. Rocks and logs can just be actual rocks and twigs. Mushrooms made from greenstuff. And perhaps a couple of shrubberies made from moss to top it off.

Oh my! Now I went overboard! :lol:

Finally got around to photographing these:
Image
I based an Oswald the Overladen bones mini, an Olivia, Mercenaries Cleric and an Alfred Redlute, Bard, all on Seb bases.

Image
I added a shield from WFB Ogre Kingdoms Ironguts Arm Shields Bits to toughen him up a bit.

Image
The three orcs in front were missing weapons or hands before I added bits from WFB O&G Goblins Spear Arms Bits and
WFB O&G Black Orc Hand Weapon Arm Bits. The shield is from the WFB Ogre Kingdoms Ironguts Arm Shields Bits.
The mace-wielder and the goblin each have a twin (not pictured.)

Image
The Warhammer Fantasy Beastman came from a set of 10, and the grizzly fellow is a WFB Warriors of Chaos Warrior Single Figure Bits, both Seb-based. He's a special encounter I'm saving for my Heroes :twisted:

You guys are amazing. I would end up hanging myself if I even attempted to do any of this here.
