Like most fantasy gamers, I occasionally find myself asking, 'do I need more snake-men in my life?'. The answer is invariably yes. In fact, I pretty much knew as soon as Reaper released these guys in bones plastic, I was going to pick some up. I got 8, in 6 different poses, and have just finished painting the first two.
As they are bones, the detail on them is a bit soft in places, but by using a limited palette, I was able to let the contrast between colours do a lot of the work. They actually stand a bit taller than most 28mm, which I like. It makes them look a bit tougher.
Once I have all 8 done, I'll have to get them on the table and see what they can do against my Ghost Archipelago warband!
Love snakemen, I need to make som snake bottom halfs for the north star snakemen, as I still have a few of them on the sprues, thinking that even I can make snake bodies! Also a shout out to the diehard minis snakemen, they are ace
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I love those figs and have been eyeballing the metal ones, which are a bit pricey. i didn't know they had them in Bones plastic, too. Ka-CHING!
ReplyDeleteI'm exactly the same when it comes to undead. I can never have enough for Frostgrave. I've discovered a great range of 3d printed skeletons and they do a pack of skeleton archers that look way nicer than the bones ones but are a tad more expensive with them being 3d printed. 15 pounds for 5!
ReplyDeleteI've got the same minis on my paint table too. My son wants to use them as his warband for ROSD. Snakemen can be rangers, right? ;)
ReplyDeleteSsssure!
DeleteSnakes have such great scale coloration, too! I had a blast painting mine up.
ReplyDeleteDiehard Miniatures sculpt some great snakemen should you feel the need to be parted from your hard earned cash https://www.facebook.com/DiehardMiniatures/photos/2445619892251480
ReplyDeleteThose are nicely beefy and well proportioned Snake Dudes. I like the way that the paint job emphasizes their underbellies.
ReplyDeleteThose look great! I have some Age of Aegyptus crocodile men I'll use for mine.
ReplyDeleteThose are some good looking snakemen! Tempting, but Im already engaged with the Ghost Archipelago ones 😀.
ReplyDeleteThis has certainly convinced me that I need more snakemen in my own life.
