Werewolves & Ogre.

A couple of miniatures I have had for an eternity but finally got around to painting...

First up, a couple of mighty Werewolves from Reaper miniatures. These are both lovely models, full of character and animation. I am sure I can squeeze them into many settings!

"Grrrowl..."

Above is the "Male Werewolf" by James van Schaik. A really lovely figure and, in my opinion, one of the best Werewolf sculpts on the market. A pleasure to paint, basically several layers of drybrushed greys.

"Howl..."

This is "Jean Paul Duchamps, Werewolf" by Ben Siens. Another great figure but as I have mentioned before, the right arm was a bit of a devil to fit and it took plenty of green stuff and superglue until I was happy with it.

Next, the excellent 'Ogre Bodyguard' for Mordheim.

Well, it only took me a year to finish the base on this chap and it was hardly the most complicated thing but hey, I got there eventually.

Ogre Bodyguards 80 gold crowns to hire +30 gold crowns upkeep

Ogres are large, brutish creatures, standing some ten feet tall, and all of it bone and muscle. For this reason they are much in demand as bodyguards and mercenaries, despite their lack of brains. A warband backed up by an Ogre makes a fearsome enemy, since Ogres are extremely dangerous fighters and a terrifying sight to behold when enraged. They happily accept any employer, as they are notoriously unbothered about who they fight for.May be Hired: Any warband except Skaven may hire an Ogre Bodyguard.
Rating: An Ogre Bodyguard increases the warband’s rating by +25 points, plus 1 point for each Experience point he has.

Weapons/Armor: Either two swords, axes or clubs (or any mix of them), or a double-handed weapon (you may choose which). Ogres wear light armor.
Skills: An Ogre may choose from Combat and Strength skills when he gains new skills.
Special Rules:

• Fear: Ogres are large, threatening creatures that cause fear. See the Psychology section for details.
• Large Target: Ogres are Large Targets as defined in the shooting rules.

Figures are from Reaper and the 'Evil Empire'.

Reaper Minis.

Recently picked up three lovely figures from Reaper Miniatures and looking forward to getting them painted. Got them all from Tim at Miniature Heroes.

First up is the "Male Werewolf" sculpted by James van Schaik -

Lovely sculpt with seperate arms and tail that didn't need too much work to fit, in my humble opinion!

Next is "Jean Paul Duchamps, Werewolf" by Ben Siens -

Another nice model - this guy looks like he needs a little more work (maybe pinning on the right arm) and perhaps a bit of the old green stuff to fill in a few gaps. Great aggressive pose though!

Both these chaps are around the 40mm mark, so pretty big and intimidating when up close to an average 28mm figure. They are probably two of the best werewolves I have come across.

Finally is the "Lord of the Jungle and Familiar" by Julie Guthrie -

Basically this is Tarzan and Cheetah in metal form. Yet again, great sculpts but I have to admit I was drawn more by the Cheetah / chimpanzee figure after spotting it on Carmen's Fun Painty Time blog and could not resist picking them up!

Will try to post some pics when these guys are based or painted.
