Two More Majestic 13 Monsters

 Not much to show volume-wise this week; I've painted two additional monsters for my roster of Majestic 13 enemies. As usual, these are 3D prints purchased from TableTopTradesman on Etsy.

First up we have a tall, gangly humanoid with long arms ending in tentacles, and an eyeless (?) face made up of squirming tentacles. All very Cthulhu-y, I built up the main body color via a base coat of Reaper "Cloudy Gray," followed by a wash with thinned down "Nighthaunt Gloom" from Games Workshop. Once that was dry, a heavy drybrush of Reaper "Aircraft Gray" (a very pale blue-gray), and a final drybrush of 70:30 White/Aircraft Gray. The hands were gone over with GW "Baal Red" Contrast paint, then drybrushed with Vallejo "Fire Orange" before getting a red glaze that I ran further up the arms than the Baal Red. I hope I've successfully conveyed "the pigment on the creature's arms fades from red to gray" versus "this guy's wrist-deep in gore."

The next figure was marketed as a "Dire Bat" but those sure ain't bat wings! The frills running down the arms looked more like fish fins to me, and that design choice was why I bought it; if it had been a standard issue giant bat, I probably would have skipped over it while shopping for M13 boogums. I took inspiration from the kaiju Gyaos, a batlike monster as well, from the 1995 movie "Gamera, Guardian of the Universe," and went with a reddish brown palette.

The inside of the mouth was undetailed, and I painted it with a yellow-orange glow to suggest a breath-weapon ability. 

Overall, these were fast, easy paint jobs that only took a few minutes at  time to work on. I've got maybe two more of these 3D printed figures to tackle at some point, and I've received the "Zombicide: Invader" monsters I'd bought off a friend on BlueSky:

These guys have so many nooks and crannies that they're absolutely going to need to wait and get spray-primed on a warmer day. I do have them assigned to profiles in Majestic 13, however, so if need be I might talk to a buddy of mine with an airbrush and see if he'll airbrush some primer on to these for me. These figures are already accounted for on my tracker, but it's time to updated the painted side:
