A couple more fantasy models painted this weekend

A couple of models were completed this weekend. The first model was a wraith. It was quick and easy to construct, but took a bit longer to paint as getting the cloak right took a while.

The second model was vortex, quite a big model. The painting was quite straightforward followed by a lot of dry brushing.

While on the tabletop there have been some samurai games to test out a some rules and try out some scenario options for a remote game this coming week.

    1. The fantasy painting is moving along at a haphazard pace finding old kits and newly purchased ones.

  2. "Big" would appear to be a bit of an understatement when it comes to that Vortex! :-)

  4. I never thought of a Vortex as a unit, but if I ever did that would be pretty close to what would come to mind. fantasy miniatures are just crazy these days. Nice job though. 😁

    1. The vortex has lots are character for a vortex (assuming a vortex can have character). Anyway, fun to paint.

    1. Single models like these are almost always fun to paint compared to units of multiple figures.

  7. Both the fantasy figures are great Peter but I particularly like the wraith! Are you hosting Mr Freitag to a remote Samurai game?

  8. Nice painting Peter. Thirty odd years ago for our GW Fantasy Battles we used a simple cardboard printed disc as the VORTEX- very powerful indeed. Your elaborate model Vortex is a beaut- well done.

    1. I picked the vortex up a few years back as it looked interesting and have finally painted it. Thanks.
