Been on a monster tear lately

That makes 1819!

So there’s the scorpion men I already covered; a black pudding made from Sculpy:

Just Sculpy that had a couple of pens pressed against it, baked, glued to a washer, and painted.

A MegaMinis harpy (originally Metal Magic?)

And a flesh golem — a repainted MageKnight mini:

As much as I love some of the henchmen and men-at-arms I’ve started, I’ve been motivated to paint monster lately, under the assumption that I could conceivably finish them all this year. Monsters are A LOT easier to paint than people & humanoids, IMO, since they have less stuff. Also, I find that about 5% of the adventurer minis ever get used; everyone always likes the same bitchin’ elf or fighter. I should post my favorite “benchwarmers” some time — the minis I love but who always sit out on game night. 🙂

But monsters pretty much always get a chance to shine, at least once.

I second the benchwarmers!! I always took weird or unuseful-looking minis while everyone too the overbalanced greatsword wielding hero. Would love to see what you have.
