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

Gremlins

I saw these on the new release rack at reaper and had to pick up a pack.  First thought is look at the cute little gremlin right before they slide their wicked knives into you.   Or that's what I think of them anyway.

I think the key to these is going to be skin tone.  I'm thinking of using the same color as on the goblin commando but I think I want to stay away from them looking like goblin children.  Maybe I should go with more green based skin since my goblin was grey/blue.

Goblin Commando

Next up is a Goblin Commando.  The mini is from Reaper's Pathfinder range.  I really like the artwork associated to pathfinder and they seem to go with a grey skin tone for goblins rather then the traditional green.  I think I'm going to stick with this and see where it goes.
