Reaper Miniatures Beastman Warrior 1 - 77252

 

Beastman, Goatman, Ibixian (3rd Edition of Dungeons and Dragons) - it's surprising this creature hasn't made it into 5e.  In the Path of Exile video game the goatman shaman has red horns and is able to throw fireballs - so I used that for inspiration.

I did most of the painting Sunday night on twitch - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1126807279

Reaper Miniatures Charnel Grub - 77226

 

Enough with dipping experiments - back to straight up layer painting from a base coat to a highlight coat.  The carrion crawler has gone through a few changes from 1st edition through 5th edition of Dungeons and Dragons.  This is Reaper's representation of the 3.x edition of the carrion crawler.  Here's my fifth edition carrion crawler by wizkids. Therefore I used the 3.5 monster manual as my reference material / source of inspiration for my painting.

Because of how the model's feet sit on the base, I actually painted this inverse or from the ground up.  I did the base first, then the feet, then the body, and finished the tentacles last.  For a short time you can catch my second half of painting this classic monster on my twitch channel - https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1123805940
