Another treat in the spirit of the Halloween season! The Spirit (77098) is the first mini of the Bones “Haunts” Set from Kickstarter. All figures in this set are made of translucent green plastic and are looking really really good.
Today, I have another pair of Zombies (Reaper Product Number 77014) from the “Undead Horde” Set for you. Reaper sells them in a set of three miniatures. These are the malformed cousins of the zombies I posted last.
John from 1000 Foot General had the great idea to celebrate the Halloween season by painting spooky Bones. I totally agree and lined up all my unpainted undead Bones , and chose to start with some Zombies from the “Undead Horde” set!
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Since the last minis I painted were skeletons, I wanted to practice some more with them. When I bought all my paints, I also bought some nice “Armoured Skeletons I” from Otherworld Miniatures. There are three classic metal miniatures in the box, and they come without a base. I wanted to try out different things with these minis: How do they look, using white primer instead of black primer? How can I make a more realistic looking base? How do I make nice looking cloth robes?
Finally, I had some time and finished my first Reaper Bones figures. So, today I’m posting the first finished figures: 6 skeletons from the Bones Undead Horde Set. Sadly, I didn’t take pictures in between for every step.
Just to give you an impression of the sheer size of this thing: This is Kaladrax, the undead skeletal dragon. The tiny guy standing on his skull is a standard-sized Reaper miniature. It’s one of my old minis painted with oil paints from back in the day.
On August 25th 2012, I participated in the now legendary Reaper Bones Kickstarter and pledged a Vampire Level Package. It was the last day, the package included over 240 miniatures. A few months later, I upgraded my order
