Daemon's on the beach.

Bought and based coated these minis a long time ago, got the bug to finish them off the other day. They're the complete range of daemon's from Eureka miniatures. Not sure what else to say, so here, have a look see:










BEACH PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Like I said, I had these dude's base coated for years, but they were done in a lot of different colours. So much so that in the end, just didn't look right. Like a bunch of demonic rainbow warriors.....not a convincing look. So the other day I thought of an idea of how to "fix" them. I picked two ink washes, bar the red mini, and bathed them in it. Then I limited myself to just three colours to highlight them with, yellow, goblin green and turquoise.

Restricting myself to a few colours rectified my original error of kaleidoscope painting. They look like a pretty unified bunch to me now. A good learning experience for me I think, ala, you can save poorly painted mini's from the stripping jar.......sometimes :)

p.s. I added some gore effects with a few Tamiya clear colours after I'd varnish the bastards too. Job done!



Till next time fellas.

  2. Wow, I didn't know these minis, they are terrifying. Pretty nice work on them. But now I cannot but think of a Caribbean-like setting for them. A voodoo ceremony really gone bad, some dark powers or elderly gods summoned... or well, they might as well be just on holidays, why shouldn't they?

    1. Everyone likes tone in the sun, daemons as well :)

      They're a great, detailed bunch of mini's. Glad I bought them all those years ago.

      Cheers Suber :)

  3. They, more than anyone, need a holiday from the horrors of the warp. Well done - they do look like a unified bunch.

    1. Slaughtering from dusk till dawn, and everthing in between I surmise, must be start to wear down the motivation levels after a while. A change of scenery is just what the doctor ordered....a change of location to slaughter in that is :P

      Thanks Anthony :)

    1. Well, after they've bathed themselves in the other suntanning inhabitants blood I suppose they feel completely rehydrated.

      Cheers mate :)

    1. Yeah, he must have been having one killa headache to have deemed that course of action necessary.
