Feralgeist

Enthused with painting motivation I tackled this Feralgeist: an undead mini for Hordes and Warmachine that has sat part-painted for far, far too long (looking back the model was part-painted as long ago as April this year!). I am not sure why it took me so long to get it finished, but whatever the cause, something did cause procrastination.

So definitely not a Zombie (more like some ghostly 'thing'), but finishing this was entirely down to a desire to clear something from the backlog while motivation lasted.

The Feralgeist adds another point to my Circle Orboros force, not much, but every little helps! Since my gaming buddy Rob has a few painted Khador minis, maybe next year we can try a game or two?

Since I started tracking my monthly, quarterly and annual painting output, this has been the most successful month of all, so even finishing a simple mini like this is nice for me just to make a dent in the dread lead mountain.

    Interesting and slightly odd figure - like the ghost of a werewolf. It's always nice to get figures completed from the painting queue. Indulging in specific monthly projects has helped me clear quite a few figures that I wouldn't have normally painted. Although some projects have resulted in buying more figures...

      Thanks. :)

      For me, 'project' deadlines have helped over the years, be it on-line like Zomtober or painting forces for tournaments. :)

    That's a bit different, not seen one of those before.

      Yeah; I had it in the minis pile from a project that never came to fruition, long before I was thinking of doing anything for Warmachine/Hordes, and since I had not used it, it went back to its original purpose! :)

    I love how you've painted that. Top stuff.
    Luckily my lead mountain has just had a chunk taken out of it - I sold some stuff that I'll never get around to using.

      Thanks very much Roy. :)

      There are bits of my lead mountain that certainly need disposal of...

    I love the green you used as a base, which colour is it? Far better than the green I used for my ghosts.

      Hi Wouter, thanks for the very kind words. :)

      The base colour is Army Painter (AP) Army Green.

      The recesses has a thin wash of AP Army Green mixed with Vallejo Model Color (VMC) Deep Green.

      Then highlight on the main body were done with AP Army Green with increasing amounts of VMC Pastel Green added.

    Thats certainly a different miniature & could be used for so many systems! Nice paint choices as well!

    Any mini completed is a success worth celebrating no matter how simple. This one looks great in a limited palette, the very type of colour scheme I'm contemplating for part of my ode to nurgle.
