Khorne Slaughterpriest
I thought I had posted this one earlier, but I had not. I finished this version of the Khorne Slaughterpriest in December, mere minutes before the beginning of the new year. He is slightly modified as I swapped out the original head with one from the old Khorne Dreadnought champion.

Dejah Thoris
Nerah from Kabuki Models painted as Dejah Thoris from the Edgar Rice Burroughs Martian novels. She sat unpainted for a long time as I tried to find a skin recipe I liked (in the books and many paintings she's depicted as having "reddish" skin). I based her with Bright Skin Shadow, shaded with Rust Brown and highlighted with Rosy Highlight up to Linen White (all Reaper).

Sheila Heidmarch
Here's Sheila Heidmarch, a character from the
Pathfinder system.The freehand on her skirt was challenging. I'm also
not completely pleased with her skin, which underwent a number of
versions. But I bought her at a game convention from a very good painter
who was clearing out her own backlog and made me promise to paint her.
So promise kept!

Gladiator Ywain
Ywain from Arena Rex. I used a new recipe for NMM that I will not be using again because it was too labor intensive. But I am generally pleased with the result.

OG Necron Lord
The original Necron Lord from GW. I turned his right hand around and added a small ball to stand in for a control orb. The cloak of gold panels in NMM drove me slightly insane. I also carved the crystals on his base out of old sprue.

Vampire Countess
This is Freebooter Miniatures' "Queen of Shadows," painted as a vampire countess, with pale skin and her dress in red and black and with a gold mask. I initially included the goblin hiding under her dress but found he got in the way.

Slaine the Barbarian
I got this barbarian figure out of a bargain bin loose so I initially didn't know who makes it. The good folks on Facebook helped me find he was the "barbarian king" of a three-figure set for the old Kev White Harlequin fantasy line (sort of related to the old Celtos line). I decided to paint him as the Celtic hero Slaine from the 2000 AD series in Britain. Unfortunately, his skirt is chain mail instead of cloth so I had to forgo Slaine's normal tartan.

Artificer Space Marine
This was a repaint of an old OOP Space Marine variant from the mid-1990s. I liked it for the Judge Dredd look. And then I remembered why I fell out of love of painting Space Marines. All the flat panels. It didn't help that I hacked up the right shoulder pad at one time or another for some reason so had to paint around that. The funny thing is, he's supposed to be an Ultramarine. When I finished him, I realized I had forgotten to paint the Ultramarine badge, instead using a unit marking because I liked the red contrast. He's the highly awarded but self-hating Ultramarine.
