Crooked Dice Lady Winterly, Corndolls and Murder of Crows

Well this week has been quite a productive one hobby wise. I have continued with getting up early and doing a bit of hobby before the household awakens. A few evenings of painting has let me get a considerable chunk done.

 The four corndolls that came as part of my Kickstarter pledge. With the Classic Lady Winterly which is now over at Beast in the Broch.

 I do plan to pick up the new Crooked Dice version especially the mounted version of Lady Winterly. Then I will demote this model to either a Goodewife, Cultist Leader or similar character.



 The Crows (Murder of Crows in the game) were rather speedy to paint to be honest. Black base, Drybrush ultramarine blue, then two dark tone washes and then just pick put claws, beaks and dotted in red eyes. They accompany the Crow king nicely as he comes with one for free as part of his cost.

The next group of WIP figures are the cultists and the Sinister Mystic model who will most likely be used as a Cultist leader in this cast.

      Thanks very much Dave. They will be green like Lady Winterly with white rope belts. I am unsure whether to add a white trim of some sort but that will be decided more by time to paint them.

    A coherent force is taking shape. Love the "Scare crows" and the cord doll held by the lady. All in all an exciting project is taking shape.

      Thanks Suber. I have managed to make good progress on the cultists. They will hopefully expand the cast nicely.

    Corking stuff, Simon. You're really in the zone at present, and making me order a lot of "Crooked Dice" minis I would otherwise have resisted - curse you ;-)

      Thanks very much mate. Yay go for it they will look great in many of your games and make good baddies for Doctor Who to thwart.

    The corndolls are great figures, they have a very English Countryside Folkhorror feel to them. I need to look further are the setting, but this promises to be very interesting.
    Lady Winterly is a lovely figure, simple but alluring, you've captured the feel well with you're colour choices. I do agree with Joe, the crows are a marvelous addition.

      Thanks very much sir. I am enthused by it all at the minute. It never really interested me much beyond a passing interest. It certainly has me looking at some of the ideas behind the figures that have been released.

    Those crows are sweet sculpts! Never thought to paint crows with your recipe, think I'll try it out on some I have.

      Thanks Dai it was a lazy way tbh. It perhaps needs refining more but I am pleased with the results.

    Lovely work Simon. And as to getting hobby-related work done before the household awakens ... nothing like the peaceful quiet of the morning to get the creative juices flowing.
