The Gangs of Maudeheim, Part I 01/06/19

The old Crucible line had some too. Plus there's a Big Guy pumpkin monster thingy from Reaper. A guy I used to work at the LGS for used to send me one or two a year (which is how I got Jack in the first place). I got several of the little GW pumpkinhead familiars around somewhere...

The last one I received was Patch from Reaper. I think a Possessed band would be a good use for them.

The new whatever on the block: The Faceless Horror Garbage Removal Service:








This a fine example of what happens when you don't know when to stop adding details.  

The Purple People Eater! Great colors man.

The "IT" that came from darkest Ohio in this instance is one of several cool thingies I received in a surprise package from a L.A.Forumite. IT was in retaliation for a package of Mushrooms I sent off awhile ago. This Floating Tentacled Whatever was made & cast by ZeroTwentthree & seen here with an old Citadel Leprechaun:

 

 
...the ruff below the orb reminded me of a clown's neck ruff...Circus Music started playing through my mind. AND two eyes appeared almost of their own volition:

 
...followed by a face:

 

 
...now IT's ready for some paint; & the Leprechaun has distanced himself from the whole affair.


I could used this as another example of how easy it is to get carried away with just the hint of an idea, but I'd prefer to just say the Devil made me do it...sounds plausible. 

It was a treat to see your shrooms show up in 023's posts, and now to see your whimsy added to his.

He make a GREAT collaborator if he didn't live so far away. Be that as it may, I'm glad you like the Beasty.  

That poor leprechaun! Being surrounded by such depravity!! Although hes probably not safe anywhere. To many faces and shrooms. The purple monstrosity is absolutely terrifying.

"Chaos is afoot, steel yourselves lads, this is gonna be a long night!" - My Witch Hunter Captain shortly before being swallowed whole.

See look at what you did Deaf, you create monsters, and I create short sad stories of how my warbands would be wiped out in quick order. Maudeheim is a dangerous place.

Great work!!

Thanks for the reply, Chief Tugboat. I'm glad you like/are disturbed by my stuff.  
The various pieces seem to be giving a fair number of Folks on a few fora fits of story telling. That the pieces stimulate a need to do narration I consider a success in modeling/painting.  

IT is complete & the base is coming along quite nicely:






...photos of the finished piece should be posted later today...hopefully.  

...later today:








AND there you have IT; whatever IT may be.  

Are you sure? A small bowler hat...perhaps with a flower.

It is terrific!

...I think I might have a bowler hat lying around somewhere or other. Until then...I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the reply, Jim!  

.....saw this guy at the last Juggalo festival in illinois

Thanks, Ben! Folks over at Reaper think IT looks like Pennywise The Dancing Clown from It:



...there is a resemblance, although Pennywise can't float & doesn't have tentacles.

...thats true al, BUT he can fly, we all fly down here!

Once more distracted, I started om the Leprechaun last seen edging away fro the W.I.P. IT:


Yesterday I based the Little Rogue, painted the base, & had to wait until the Internet was more cooperative to post the progress:










I finished his flesh & hair last night between innings. Hopefully, weather & Internet permitting, I'll have some more progress photos to post later today...or not.  

Baseball, baseball, baseball! I got home just in time to see the Twins win in the 12th, or maybe the 13th. Either way their third win.

Great little miniature, too.

The Twins & the Braves both started off 0-9; then swept the weekend series. I think this is going to an interesting season.

Thanks, Jim. It's an old Citadel...maybe for Talisman. He's a little shorter than the Reaper Leprechauns I have, but goes nicely with them, or will once they are all painted. They'll be operatives for S, White's Crime Syndicate.  

AND later the same day finds the Little Rogue & Friend are done:










...there are benefits to being an insomniac & coffee addict.  

Wow! You had a productive day. Great work!

I did not accomplish much of anything. Naps. Twins won!

Thanks, Jim. I do seem to be more productive lately...not up to army building speed, but more productive nonetheless.  

I think the Twins are going to surprise a lot of Folks this year.  

What a mischievous looking little guy!! I agree you have been super productive, and everything your making looks fantastic!! Keep up the hard work!

Thanks, C.T.! I'm glad you like him...he does look like he has been up to no good.
One of the productivity factors is that all the stuff is a pure joy to do...quite a change from my old day jobs.  

With only a couple of Stitched Monsters inhabiting the Work Table, it was time to add some...plus I just got some cool minis fro SerialMom AND I'm SO weak.
Here's an overview of The Stuff:


...a closer view:


...L.A.M.'s Desperate Housewives:


...L.A.M's Knight & Henchman plus a Goblin Bomber for Von Kurst:


...L.A.M's Steam Robots:


...a Mystery Rider & Fairy Meat Faerie from ZeroTwentthree:


...the aforementioned Stitch Thingies with one of ZeroTwentythree's Vulture Guys:


...some ideas I'm working on for The Swamp Thing:




...that's what I've been up to...more or less.  

Man, you are a busy fella. Da Bomma has some great company there on the painting table.
