Reaper Cave Troll 77004

A really quick paint.  Not a whole lot of texture.  I used this one to test if Bones could be painted without primer.  While painting the only thing I noticed was that the paint flowed onto the mini differently.  Not sure if this was bad or not but I didn't like it.  After painting I noticed a small seem on the arm like the paint had split and when the arm moved you could see white.  I ended up flaking off the loose paint and touching it up before I sealed the mini.

Reaper Minotaur 77013

This is another Bones Mini from Reaper.  Really makes me think of a World of Warcraft Tauren dual wielding.  I don't have a planned use for him but decided to paint him up for maybe future use in a game of pathfinder.

Reaper Gnoll Warrior 77012

This was my favorite bones mini so far.  Lots of cool textures and I think it came out well for me.  I look forward to throwing it into battle in a game of pathfinder.  Might use him as part of a warlord army as a proxy.

This is the first of the Reptus faction snakes that I've painted.  I wanted him to look like a grass snake with black armor since he is an assassin.

Reaper Werewolf 77009

At Reapercon I picked up 2 of the new Werewolves made out of the bones material.  I'm looking to start a Koborlas army and these will be the first ones I paint.  Since the werewolves will be pups I'm going to paint them browns with no gray in the fur.  I'm thinking that as they go up the hierarchy(older) the units should get more grey

Reaper River Trolls 14944/14455/14008

A Few months ago I painted the 3 troll figures for my Reptus army.  The Group consists of 14944 Uru, the River Troll Chief, 14455 Uszkuluz Greyhide Troll Shaman, and 14008 River Troll.  I like them visually as they look like some serious muscle.  I've only used them in a few games but what I remember is that they do good against light infantry.  All have regerneration 4 so if they are only taking light wounds they can stay in the game for a long time.  Add in the shamans healing ability and the group has some staying power.  thinking about adding another River Troll for a true wall of green muscle.

Mantic Ghouls

A few years ago Mantic gave away 2 free Ghouls if you joined their mailing list.  So basically they have been sitting around ever since.  However since I'm painting my dwarf kings hold minis I decided to go ahead and paint the ghouls.  Might be fun to throw them into a game somehow
