The Headless Horseman!
28mm scale
In the dark shadow of the grove, on the margin of the brook, he beheld something huge, misshapen, black, and towering. It stirred not, but seemed gathered up in the gloom, like some gigantic monster ready to spring upon the traveller.
The ghostly Hessian rides through Sleepy Hollow again, seeking a replacement for his head, shot off in battle!
This was painted as a gift for a horror- and Halloween-loving friend. I don't do mounted figures very often, but this was a pleasure. The dark, glossy black coat of the horse came together surprisingly easily, and it's just such a dramatic figure overall. Dark undercoating did a lot of work towards the mood here too.
I have no idea where the figure itself is from, I received it in an exchange many years ago.
Skeleton Warband
28mm
Do this rattling squad of undead freebooters obey the foul will of some evil overlord? Or do they roam of their own accord, seeking to pillage and kill? They may be "lowly skeletons" but don't ever underestimate their menace...
A fun assortment of Reaper figures, led by Rictus the Undying. The three mooks were modified for character with the addition of various items, and a weapon swap. I especially like the axeman with the afro, he's inspired by "Brook" from the anime One Piece 😁
Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI particularly like the painting on the horseman. It's exactly what I would want from painting that character.
I'm pretty happy with it! I tend to cut a lot fewer corners with gifts, but this one still came together pretty quickly, by my standards anyway. Glad you like!
