In the spirit of completion, I would like to offer up my final 'Heresy Miniatures' Ghoul - the Ghoul King himself! There are two versions of this reassuringly large miniature available for purchase on the company's webstore, a shy retiring type and this one, who is happy to just let everything hang out.
Again expect a little construction, but given this model's larger size there wasn't anything too taxing to overcome. The paint scheme followed the the rest of the tribe and had to go through that uncomfortable 'blue' period, but ultimately holds together with the others. The rat familiar is a nice touch on this model, but I wasn't overly enamoured with a large, scarab like beetle on his right thigh so this was removed.
Basing was again carefully matched to tie them all together and a slathering of gore completes the look. The fearsome Noctelinger are now a force to be reckoned with, but will their Master make an appearance before the end of the summer?
Oooh, practice for all those zombicide zombies coming at Christmas?
ReplyDeleteWhich reminds me that I still need to confess that little indiscretion to the Saintly Mrs. Awdry!
DeleteWonderful job as usual, those shades are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Luca although they look better when seen from a distance.
DeleteA splendid addition to the nastiness!
ReplyDeleteThere seems to be a lot of it about at the moment!

ReplyDeleteThe truth is just as each knife is different, each person is different and what survival knife is the best for you may not be the best for someone else. By the end of this review you should have an idea on which survival knives suit you best.
Curiouser and curiouser!
DeleteExellent work , love the blood :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Tamiya Clear red to the rescue!
DeleteBrilliant! Very nice work once again Michael. Now when will we see a game in which Solomon Awdry sends these fiends back to the hell pit which spawned them?
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark and I'm definitely running out of excuses regarding a game; must try and get something sorted out.
DeleteAnother excellent piece and a fitting addition to the ghouls.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe, that should be them done for a while now.
DeleteFantastic details Michael! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThank you Rodger.
DeleteNow, this is the stuff of nightmares.... scary & digusting!!! Congratulations on yet another amazing mini!
ReplyDeleteThank you, this one was great fun to work on with so many wonderful details.
DeleteThe attention to the details you've painted on the model really make it something special. How many other paintjobs feature a mucky backside?!
ReplyDeleteTop work!
Thank you Roy, he was certainly a blast to work on.
Deleteinteresante mini si señor
ReplyDeleteun saludo
j.d.
Thank you J.D.
DeleteTop drawer, Michael.
ReplyDelete"...but will their Master make an appearance before the end of the summer?"
Consider me intrigued.
Thank you Mr. Finch, I shall have to double my efforts to reveal the overlord!
DeleteWhat a splendid looking chap he is Michael. Lovely painting again :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Tamsin.
DeleteLovely job Sir Michael! Beautiful skintones. You've gotta rock out with your cock out especially if your the king.
ReplyDeleteWell when you put it like that, what more can I say? :)
DeleteThat is just brilliant...in a disgustingly vile sort of way. Love the colour and the horrific details!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Gordon, the brilliant sculpt makes the whole job so much easier.
DeleteWonderful brushwork, Michael. You turn any canvass into a work of art.
ReplyDeleteThat is incredibly kind Dean, thank you.
DeleteLovely job - great ghoulish colour.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Dan.
DeleteAmazing job Michael!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil.
DeleteFiendishly disturbing stuff once again, Sir. That wouldn't look out of place in the game "The Evil Within"; an especially terrifying game for over-forties which is currently keeping me awake at night :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, just googled the Evil Within and it looks absolutely terrifying!
DeleteGreat job on the skin tones Michael ... they look like the skin tone for your ghouls in which you mentioned the colours you used in the comments section. I think it involves London Grey ... if I remember correctly that is.
ReplyDeleteThank you and I really should have mentioned the colours in the post, but just as a recap: based with French Mirage, to this was added some Deep Yellow. The details were washed with Blue Shade to pick out details like the spine. A little Pale Sand was added to the original mix before another wash of AP strong tone. Final details were picked out by adding some Sky Grey to the highlight mix.
DeleteLovely work and i really like the ghoul skin colour. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, just posted the recipe in the above comment if it is of any use.
DeleteGhouls are ghoulish (yuk). However, with the bluish color you have captured their yukkishness quite well, Michael.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jay, pleased the 'yukkishness' is winning through. ;)
DeleteJust ace! Like with your previous ghouls I really like the skin tone. He's certainly some very unpleasant bugger to deal with.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nick, great fun to work on too, especially with all the gruesome details to pick out.
DeleteNow that put s different spin on "a little spade work"...
ReplyDeleteHe does look a bit handy with his shovel doesn't he!
DeleteGreat work on the ghoul! A gruesome looking fella for sure!
ReplyDeleteThat is very kind of you Jonas, thank you.
DeleteFantastic work Michael. Your collection of ghouls grows ever grizzlier looking with every addition to it. Awesome Sauce indeed :)
ReplyDeleteVery impressive work on the King. The pale blueish skin colour is excellent.
