Hordes: Minions project.

I was asked to paint some Hordes Minions for a local gaming store.
Here are the results.

First up a Wrastler. One of the more maligned models in the range, its actually not that bad in the flesh. A slight tweak of the pose wouldn't go amiss, but on the whole he turned out well. 

Secondly, Bloody Barnabus the Warlock. I gave him a nice thematic scenic base, trying out some new materials. Custom bases are available on commissions, although it will add to the total cost a little depending on what is required.

I also added some nice realistic gore (no blood red daubed on these models). Using Tamiya clear red mixed with a little black and brown, some convincing gore can be created. If you leave the paint to dry slightly, then stipple it with an old brush, you get some good texture. It dries to a glossy finish for that wet look.

I'm going to try this on some zombies in the future and see if it works for open wounds as well as bloody snouts and weapons.
