Hedge Witches, Goblins, and a Plinth

 
This week, I finished up the Hedge Witches from Conquest Games. They were a good couple of miniatures to get my vibe back for painting. They're good options for Frostgrave, too.


I've also been plugging on with the Aenor Miniatures goblins. I got started on them ages ago with a sepia wash over off white, and they've been sitting for absolutely ages. I was very pleased with how a little drybrush really brought out the details on the cloak.


Three of the five are now finished and waiting for photography. I'm going to finish the last two before I count them all as "done". I'm also pondering the Steel Legion Drab base rim - maybe I should change it to black?


My big purchase that arrived this week was this 5" x 5" plinth from Fenris Games. I've picked it up for miniature photography so I've got an alternative way of raising miniatures up to the hills I'm currently using. It'll need washing and cleaning up before I get started on painting it, but I'm going to finish a few bits and pieces first.

  1. Nice wirk on the witches!

    I must admit I'd not heard of Aenor before and may have to have a peruse.

    Looking forward to seeing what your plinth turns out like as I'm really keen on trying to make a proper diorama for photographing figures.

    1. Aenor do some really nice stuff.

      I'm using the Handiwork Games backdrops and a guide written by Annie from Bad Squiddo as a basis for my mini photography at the moment, and it's really helping.

  2. Sweet job, I really like these. I'd love to see the plynth once displayed with a backdrop, I'm trying to learn how to do that stuff!

    1. It's going to be a while, sadly, as life is getting in the way.

      Have you seen Annie's photo guide?
