Monster Mash Continued

Happy Halloween!  As promised, here are some pics of some monsters I painted over the summer while up in NYC.

First up in the Cockatrice.  This was a fun model to paint.  Something different and the reason why the left wing droops is that I left this model at Newark Airport on a 105 degree weekend in the sun.  I was late for my plane and forgot to cover him.  So anyone who says Finecast warps is right, but the temp in my truck was probably 120 degrees all during a 3 day weekend.  According to all those whiners, this should have been a puddle.

 Next I always wanted to paint up a giant.  I painted him so I can use him for both my Chaos Army and my Ogre Kingdoms Army.

 Then I painted up the Lord on Manticore.  Anyone who has assembled this will understand how GW did a fantastic job designing the head of this piece. I think there were 3 or 4 layers just to the mane.  The model is pretty worthless in game, but my goal to have all the non-SC units in the book is almost complete.  I think all I lack are Chaos Trolls, a Chaos Dragon, and the new releases.

 My friend Rufus bought me the Avatars of War Chaos Lord while he was out and about down in SC a few months ago.  Last week I finally painted him up while painting the Soul Grinder.  I didn't like the sword or shield so I converted the sword with a Mace from a Chaos Knight and the shield from the Manticore kit above.  I have been using him as my Level 4 Death Sorcerer.  My WoC Army has always been my Word Bearers of Fantasy, so it is only fitting I have a Dark Apostle to lead them.  Looking at these pics I think I might do another highlight on white to bring out the bone a bit more.

Hope you Enjoy!  Next up is a scenery piece and more Daemons!
