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

Now Von Kurst, Himself, is finished & ready to lead his minion on to random acts of hooliganism:

 

 

 

 
...AND The Gang to date:





 
...who knows what new thingies may appear in the Gang...The Shadow might!  

Great brush work Al!

Whoohoo!  Spooky woods!  The best place for the gang to hang...out.

Thanks, Jim. I'm glad you like your namesake. Your Gang does seem to be more woodsy/rural than the Witch's Hunters.
I have the Von Kurst Witches underway...one to accompany the Gang & the other involved in "recruiting". They should be the next ones up. I have some Hounds on the way as well:




...they could be used by either Gang...they're silly enough.  

Good things from the Garden, Garden in the Graveyard...the latest of W.I.P. pieces:

 

 

 

 
...disproving the notion that Pumpkin Heads grew on trees.  

Trees?  That's ridiculous!  Everybody knows they grow on vines!

Nice vignette

...which explains why Isaac Newton, being hit by an apple from the apple tree he was sitting under, discovered gravity. If he had been hit by the falling fruit of the facetious pumpkin tree, he would have discovered the concussion.  

There is a plus side to insomnia. Today I did the ground work on the "Good Things From The Garden" piece:

 

 

 

 
...AND finished the Von Kurst Gang's Witch, name forthcoming...some thing don't work well with insomnia:

 

 

 

 
...The Von Kurst Gang to date:

 

 
...there you have it.  

I finished another Witch earlier today. This one was sitting close to finished since sometime in 2012. She was for my friend Suzy, but old Suzy moved away before I finished her Witch:









...the day wasn't a total waste.  

So many witches...

The gang is looking good, or perhaps that is good looking

I do have a weakness for Witches, &, at this stage, painting what I like seems to be the thing.
I'm glad you like the Girls.

I have the witch you gave me that hasn't been hired yet, AND I have one coven of witches painted (from some defunct company or other.) AND I have a few individual witches who can also be Amazons or shamans.

Then I have lots of unpainted Reaper/War Gods that were perfect for some warband when I bought them...

There you go! It's that Great Minds Thingy again.  

I received my Hounds today. They were due yesterday, but the Post Office went strange on me. They shipped from Dallas; then it was in transit for most of Thursday. That evening instead of being accepted in Austin; the package was back in Denton. Then it went to Austin...insert B SciFi/Horror mood music here: BOOOO-OOOH-OOOH. 
I also finished the "good Things From The Garden" piece:

 

 

 

 

 

 
...Group Photos to follow...eventually.  

As threatened here are The Group Photos. There are a couple of things to add, but the Von Kust Gang is largely done.
Here's the Von Kurst Gang on the Work Table:

 

 
AND in The Spooky Woods:

 
...zooming in...I LOVE zooming in:

 
...the Shaman:

 
...the Lads with the point things up front:

 
...followed by a Seedy Little Guy & Long Scythe Guy:

 
...the Long Scythe Guy:

 
...Von Kurst & Witch:

 
...Von Kurst alone:

 
...meanwhile off the the side, a second Witch is doing some recruiting:

 

 

 
...there you have it...so to speak.  

OH BABY!!!

Spendillyifous!

Its not done though, there aren't twenty of them.... or thirty even.

Thanks for the reply, Jim...glad you like them! There will be some of those Reaper Hounds & maybe a few more odd things to add, but I thought the Gang need a few Group Photos.

AND what I did today. I had received in a round about fashion two packs of Hell Hounds. The older & somewhat more cartoony ones I removed the intrical base & base in my usual fashion for Von Kurst's Gang:

 
...next a couple of mushrooms & a base coating were added:

 

 

 
...THEN I scoured the Vault of Pack Rattiness for a quartet of Dire Rats that I had done some time ago...'08 to be precise...to serve a Hounds for The Witch's Hunters. These got some touch up & some new grass & a new matt finishing spray:

 

 

 

 
...seen here with one of the Witch's Pumpkin Heads:

 
...for comparison size & compatibility checks:
 

 
...not too bad for an Old Man.  

Wow! Great work (rework?) on the Dire Rats

Thanks, Jim. All I did was a little touch up...only the lips needed attention. Then I added some of the grass tufts. The Hounds were a pain with those thick intrinsic bases.  

Today was a less than a flurry of activity...more like an ooze of productivity. I did manage to paint some bases for the Pumpkin Heads Gangs.
The Witch's Hunters: Witch & Pistol Packing Persons:

 

 
...AND Von Kurst's Hounds:

 

 

 
...I have great hopes for tomorrow & the weekend...I have a lot of silly notions.  

TADA! Spooky Old Alice is done or at least as done as she is going to get. I took a bunch of photos as is my wont; AND, being unable to decide which ones to leave out, I'll infict them all on you:
 
 

 

 

 

 
...with a couple of closeups of The Mushroom:

 

 
...who will be in her entourage is still in question. Dontcha love suspense?  " />

While I was at it I took a Group Portrait of the Witchy Girls I have so far. Witches are favorite characters (& real girls as well) with me; SO there will be more:

 

Oh Baby!

Alice has an attitude.

Thanks, Jim. I'll glad you like her.
She definitely does have an attitude.  

ANNOUNCEMENT: if you enjoy my painting style AND Night Goblins, I have an Army of them being posted here:

...after a couple days without a single comment I thought I'd light a flare.
