Wolves

After wrapping up the Dark Angels space marines, I went back to painting the miniatures from the Castle Ravenloft game.  What I've not mentioned before was that part of the reason I started this new hobby of painting miniatures is because I've been playing the Castle Ravenloft board game with some friends.

I actually bought the Citadel Starter Pack (which contained the marines I posted before as well as a brush and some paint) as it was a good way to get some basic tools and instructions on how to paint minis.

So with the Dark Angels space marines done, it was time to get back to the board game.*

This is meant to be a wolf in a ghostly blue colour

Three wolves (duh)

A werewolf - done in the same blue as the wolves

While I'm reasonably happy with the wolves considering that this is the first time I went "off instruction" to paint a mini, I have to say that I'm really not very happy with the werewolf.  What I was trying to do was to highlight the werewolf to show light bouncing off the fur - which I failed miserably at.

Still, the bright side is that under dark lighting, it doesn't look too bad.

* Actually, I tried to paint some of the rats in the board game after doing one of the Space Marines.  However, that failed so miserably that their horrible visage shall never haunt the halls of this blog!
