Once more into the Frozen City!

My minor demons are a frames worth of mantic succubi I’ve put on round bases. They were great models and when I first saw them they reminded me of the succubi from warcraft. Well if someone one going to be summoning a minor demon I thought they would be great for that and the painted up well. I didnt fancy them being uniform, demons are unifrom. Different skin tones were used. I did find them a little brittle, but that could be my heavy handed nature when dry brushing parts.

For my minor constructs, as I’ve said before , I pictured dwarven enchanters in mind for all constructs. Well I’d bought wargods aegyptus totanem Regiment and harbinger years and years ago when I first saw them this side of the pond, mid 2000’s. Well centred around the dwarven aesthetic i saw some of the regimented totanem as minor constructs. Plus a few images of Mr pump from disc world novels and the idea was set in my mind. A colour scheme of stone was chosen and my go at a clay like Mr pump. I’ll probably do like a sandstone if I do a few more down the road.

With the wraiths I’ve got quite a few nighthaunt because of the mortal realms magazine. The choice was an easy one though as the glaivewraiths are my favourite look, plus painting them up like the Mari Lwyd to impress the kids. I went with a lighter grey/ white for these with bone colours for the skull and arms. I like the idea of a red scheme for the rest of my wraiths in a sort of red like crimson peak.

My favourite troll is the lotr, not been a fan of most, although avatars of wars new plastics look nice. But yeh, took the lotr troll and went with the main colour scheme from the film just a little darker. Looks great done up. But just before I posted this I realised there an option for 2 trolls on the list. Ill pull out my metal one and paint him up now.

For the bear option , i fancied something more ehimsical/D&D style and went eith a hook horror. Ive got pleanty of bears for my old west and dead mans hand games, including an undead bear. The choice was made a good while ago when i grabbed the nolzurs hook horror. With hooks like those you picture him bear hugging someone to death. Ive always liked hook horrors since readings Drizzt Exile years ago. I wasnt sure how i wanted it to look , so my wife chose the colour scheme for me.

With the leopard i new I wanted something a bit more brutal looking and degrees sabretooth did the job. It fit that leopard look and I’ve seen quite a few images and things of the sabretooth with a snow leopard type patterning on their fur. I thought mid try to emulate that and so how it goes. Pretty happy with how it turned out. Wouldn’t like to be pounced on by that’n!
