25/28mm North Star - Frostgrave - Candle-Jacks

I find I still have a fair amount of Pumpkin headed villains to do for the Sleepy Hollow game.  The Wars of Ozz pumpkins and scarecrows are the rank and file while this Large Candle Jack will be a monster boss to join Reaper's Rotpatch who's been already completed.  I'm adding in the lesser  Frostgrave Candle-Jacks as well to serves as something in between the expendables and the real monstrous challenge posed by this scythe waving monstrosity.

The base was a little flat and lifeless so I added a pair of pumpkins to help set the scene.

As with Rotpatch, I added a mix of my Green Stuff World leaf punch output, first gen Highland Tufts from Army Painter, some static grass and a single tuft of 12mm Spikey Beige from Gamer's Grass to give some height to the floor proceedings.

It's hard to beat the official North Star display models but I gave it a shot via slap chop, some dry-brushing and then more layered work for the heads, weapons and vines. The detail in the eyes are pretty janky and if I was a more determined modeler I probably could have reshaped them and dug out the irregular "pupils." But I'm not, so I didn't.

28mm Reaper Rotpatch, Pumpkin Golem

Another monster from the Pumpkin King's corrupted retinue! I started with a slap-chop then ended up using speed paints/contrast mostly as a base coat for the pumpkins and vines. At the end I went over it all with more opaque highlights.I spent more time rusting up the scythe - it's really rusty!This is one where I know I could do more, but I just had enough and wanted to move on. 

The base was plain and spare so I painted up a pair of  pumpkins to adorn it, adding a mix of my Green Stuff World leaf punch output, first gen Highland Tufts from Army Painter, some static grass and a single tuft of 12mm Spikey Beige from Gamer's Grass to give some height to the floor proceedings.

Watching YouTube painters have given me some ideas and I think I'm ready to step up off my plateau on new miniatures. I have much already underway so the change will be likely gradual. 

More supernatural pumpkin monsters coming in the next day or two! Stay tuned!

25/28mm - Old Glory/West Wind - Pumpkin Headed Killer Scarecrows

I bought the Candle Jacks for Frostgrave and was reminded I already have some Pumpkin Headed Scarecrow types. The regular scarecrows -  of whom I also have many - including many monstrous ones, will have to wait.

All Contrast paints over a zenithal gray. The pumpkin heads themselves looked especially lackluster so I layered over the top of them but left the rest untouched. Quick and easy!

Here they are next to the Reaper Pumpkin Horrors.

I have a lot of other scarecrow models, of which these are just a part. I'll also be adding in Old Glory's Wars of Ozzz miniatures to this - all for the planned Sleepy Hollow games.

28mm Reaper Freddie, Fritz & Three Pumpkin Horrors

The militia I finished a few years age have needed an opponent so here is the opening offering. I'm not particularly into Halloween in April, but these were near completion last October before I took a long painting break over the winter. Low hanging fruit if you will.

Enjoy! Questions, comments are welcome and encouraged.
