Blazing Skeletons and Gargoyles

Some more pictures of painted minis from the Castle Ravenloft board game.

The first one is the Blazing Skeleton - basically, a skeleton that's on fire and throws out fireballs for its attack. This model was actually made out of a clear plastic which gave me quite a quandary.  On one hand, I wanted to try painting the fire but on the other hand, I didn't want to paint over the clear plastic and lose the transparent effect of the clear plastic.

In the end, I only painted the skeleton portion of the min and left the fire unpainted.  Looking at the results now, I'm not sure it was the right choice.  Humm.


Kamehameha!

That is a fireball between its hand - believe it or not...
The Gargoyle was a super simple paint job as I wanted to try and get a dirty stone effect.  All I did was, after priming it white, to hit it with a wash then give it red eyes.  The plinth the Gargoyle is standing on was done with several layers of gray and actually took more time than the Gargoyle itself!

Check out the red beady eyes

Might have gone a bit heavy on the wash :)
