My shipment from Reaper Miniatures' Bones 4 Kickstarter arrived on Saturday, and digging through my new goodies I quickly felt the rising urge to get some painting in. I decided on the "Ape Attack!" set - two ferocious-looking gorillas and one dressed in armor and carrying a sword.
Not having yet painted any "White Gorillas" for my Frostgrave bestiary, I decided they would serve admirably. I originally thought I'd do all three in different shades of "white" but ultimately ended up with the two feral gorillas having blue-white fur and a warmer, brown-shaded fur on the gladiator-ape. Seeing as the Frostgrave apes are magical snow gorillas, the blue-shaded fur struck me as perfectly appropriate.
Bare skin was picked out in Reaper's "Golden Skin Triad," the gums and inner mouths based in "Old West Rose" followed by a wash of Reikland Flesh Shade, and the teeth picked out in "Stained Ivory." Eyes were painted "Viper Green" just to do something different.
Just bases left to be painted and I can get some varnish on them. I'm definitely feeling a serious hankering for some Frostgrave action again some time soon.
Very, very nice!
