WIP - Skeleton Snake Men

Doing some work on these wonderful skeleton snake men sculpted by Tim Prow from Die Hard Miniatures. They produce four separate snake men, which will eventually appear in my undead lizard man contingent, but because I can't stay away from my armies of antiquity - I got a few extra to convert into figures for my undead Classical Greek army, starting with an undead Cecrops I.

Here are the individual figs out of the pack:

After zenithal priming:

Basecoated in Thar Brown and Decayed Metal by Scale Colour:

Bone parts washed with GW's Agrax Earthshade:

Verdigris effect created using GW's Nihilakh Oxide technical paint. I love that stuff!

And here is the progression of Cecrops I. Cecrops was the mythical first king of Athens who is portrayed as half man and half snake. This is a simple head swap using the helmed skull from the (recently defunct) Spartan Games Heroes of Myth & Legend Skeletons. It was fortuitous that I had some extra blisters of these skeletons, because the snake men are ogre sized and a 28mm skull is too small, while a 54mm skull is too big. The Spartan Games minis were in an unusual 40mm size - which actually made a perfect match with the snake men!

WIP - Undead Minotaur

Another addition to my Undead Classical Greek army - an undead minotaur from the new company Die Hard Miniatures owned by veteran sculptor Tim Prow.

Prow has produced work for a whole ton of companies, most notably the now defunct Heartbreaker Miniatures. Lately, he's been a driving force behind the Oldhammer movement, producing models in the GW style from the 80's & 90's. Sadly, I was around for the originals myself.

This figure was first made available in their initial 2015 Kickstarter. They have put out some nice undead models since, including four skeletal snake men. Plus they'll be running an undead Kickstarter in October. October! I can't wait that long!

A nice ogre-size minotaur, he's now tearing up the field in my Undead Classical Greek army.

Various parts.

Primed black and zenithal highlighted. The flesh is a mix of Reaper Olive and Pure Grey. The muscle and guts are based with GW's Blood for the Blood God technical paint. The bone is Aged Bone by Vallejo Air. Flesh and bone washed with GW's Agrax Earthshade.

Fully assembled. The axe has been painted with Gunmetal from Vallejo and then textured using GW's Typhus Corrosion technical paint and then dry-brushed with some of the GW technical Ryza Rust to do the rust effect. The armor is painted using GW's Warplock Bronze and then coated with GW technical Nihilakh Oxide for the verdigris effect.
