Monday Miniatures: Flesh Golem

It’s alive, alive!! This week we paint a reanimated monstrosity, which is not to be confused with a plain old zombie.

Ater – this mini project has some interesting sculpts at least.

I spent a lot of time this week focusing on the details – the stiches held wash especially well.

Jo went straight monster this week.

Jes has a great multi-tone monster this week. I thought about going this way, but it seemed like too much work; fortunately Jes made it look easy.

Arjen’s beast looks like it was skinned. Seriously, he was intending to paint it to just a table top level, but the result is pretty gruesome.

Tallghost’s mini looks like a classic out of a monster film. I really like this color scheme.

Dirk went all out, painting each segment a different color, with all attendant highlighting and shading.

Newcomer Jarrod added a skull to the offhand, and really played up the more gruesome aspects of this model.

Update:

The Gleeful Grognard sends in a late, but beautiful mini.

I was emailed a couple of suggestions last week – but the reaper website was down. Please continue to send me your suggestions. I’d like to keep these posted at least a month out.

Great work, and a surprising amount of variety on what might otherwise be a very straightforward figure!

I actually painted this figure up many months ago and didn’t feel it was quite as good as my more recent figures, so I didn’t send in a submission for this week. Dirk has a much better version of what I did (the “patchwork” style).

  I finally got the time to paint up a figure, and didn’t get it submitted in time -sighs-
  
  Not sure what I am going to do with the blacksmith but I am sure the simpler miniature style will be much appreciated 😛

Really awefully scary minis this week. Congrats to all!
My favourite this time is David’s bcause of the scars on the chest.

And a big welcome to Jarrod! I hope you stay. And I like your base, the footprints are a good detail. Did you use crackle medium for the earth?

I did use Citadel’s cracked earth paint, whatever it’s actual name is, I don’t remember right now. I love the inspiration this group gives.
