I got a job lot of Mage Knight figures super cheap a while back to repaint as statues for scenery. There were also a few that I thought would work well repainted as either 15mm monsters or as HeroQuest monsters.
It's behind you! |
This Crypt Worm was a dull greeny black colour to start but I removed it from the base, glued to a 2p piece, textured with soil/tile grout and resprayed it with Wilkinson's grey primer.
"Don't come any closer or I'll shoot!" |
Eyes in the back of it's... er... back. Hmm. |
Some details not particularly visible until I repainted were the eye-like protuberances all over the back of the creature. These were all painted bright white with a black pupil and a yellow ink glaze. They didn't turn out quite as bright as I'd hoped, even with a black ink line around them, but they look OK.
It will be a suitably disturbing creature to appear unexpectedly during a game to terrorise both sides when they least expect it...
Awesome repaint!
ReplyDeleteSome of the old Mage Knight and D&D plastics are pretty decent when they get a fresh coat of paint and make for properly looming monsters in 15mm scale!
Yes, they are rather variable in quality but some are great!
DeleteDamn, that worm is great!
