Reaper Miniatures Stone Lurker - 77227





Back to the Bones pile... this one is the Stone Lurker which is just a ball of fun to put together and paint.  It's these monster figures where once again the Bones line delivers terrific value - the bigger monster models look great (you can't tell the difference) and it's about a quarter of the price at $3.99 versus $14.49 for the metal version.

I added a bit of smaller stalagmites to the base to show "legs" on the model.

Painting instructions for Stone Lurker (used my Vallejo Game Color)...

Step 1: I'm using Stynylrez primer on the bones models - just slop it on and cover everything - it works great!
Step 2: Use Bronze Flesh on the stalagmite bits
Step 3: Mix Dead White with Bronze Flesh and drybrush on the stalagmite bits
Step 4: Mix more Dead White with Bronze Flesh and drybrush highlights on stalagmite bits
Step 5: Use watered down Scarlett Red and add the final Bronze Flesh highlight as a watered down mix - dab around the creases and the nodules where the tentacles attach to the main stalagmite
Step 6: Use Scarlett Red on the eyeball
Step 7: Use Hot Orange and cover 80% of eyeball
Step 8: Use Gold Yellow and cover 80% of the previous orange
Step 9: Use Black to generate a cat's eye pupil
Step 10: Use Black on base and rock
Step 11: Drybrush Cold Grey on rock
Step 12: Drybrush Stonewall Grey on rock
Step 13: Drybrush Dead White on rock

Kickstarter paint total: 125 + 1 Stone Lurker = 126
