What is the Opposite of Grimdark?

The Giant Rainbow Frogs of Lustria!

Finished off the last two giant frogs. I am particularly pleased with the orange one. Which is one of those colours I struggle to get a really bright colour. They were great fun to paint  and I may need to  get a couple more to make a hunting pack for Slann animal handlers. 

Once I painted a red, green and blue ones, I sort of had paint the other ones to complete the colour spectrum. 

'Slann trappers find their prize, the Giant Rainbow frog. 

Considered a real delicacy by Slann nobles.' 

One in every colour!

Slann Animal Handlers

 Lustrian Giant Pond Frog

So, while technically Slann can't have giant frogs as animals in WFB 3rd Ed. It seems a bit of a daft omission.  They are listed in the 3rd Ed. rules  and in the army book but only as part of a monstrous host. But this feels like it fits the army, so I am including it. 

Anyway Alternative Armies were having a sale and the recast Vintage Asgard miniatures giant frogs seemed a good fit. Another three to paint which makes a nice little unit. 

Lustrian Giant Pond Frog - (Giant lacum Rana lustrian)

'The giant Lustrian poison frog is the preferred choice for Slann animal handlers because of its aggressive nature and highly potent skin toxin.  Which makes them very difficult to engage in  close combat. And whatever you do don't let them lick you!'

Not Just Another Duck Hunt

Ok - Maybe Just a Duck Hunt

A quick and simple paint job to finish off these ducks from Warbases. Again some small prey for Paleo-Hunt.  The set comes with five ducks but I managed to lose one until finished painting the other four. 

The ducks were painted based on Mallard ducks. Each stand painted as a male and a female. 

Minotaurs Finished

Didn't take long to finish the final rank and file minotaur. 

Morgana - The Dread Queen of the Fae

Work continues on the army commander for the Fae. This one has taken a bit of thinking time to work how to paint  to take advantage of the zenithal highlights.

Back to the Hunt

I Painted Something Real!

I picked these deer a up at Salute when I went to the Warbases stand. They weren't on the list but I saw them and thought Paleo-hunt. And at £3 for the pair it it didn't take long to decide to buy them. 

As they are real world animals, I decided I would have a go at painting them following the actual animal patterns. After a quick search of the internet, the European fallow deer was chosen. As it is a bit more than the bog-standard brown. Not quite sure I got the colour quite right (a bit more red next time) but makes an interesting change to paint to a fixed colour scheme.
