Wolfhounds and hound with two heads

I haven't had much time for painting but I've gotten in a little brush time Since Huzzah and these are some of the results. A two headed dog from Reaper Miniatures and 4 Gripping Beast wolfhounds.
One of many pieces from the Bones collection. I have no idea what he'll be used for but I'm very happy with how he came out. 
I did him in a very dark gray with two layers of lighter gray the last one being almost white. The fur look great, the model had great texture to work with 
As the picture at the top shows he's a very large dog towering over the wolfhounds.
Years ago I got a full set of wolfhounds but traded away some of them, I've regretted doing it since I started playing Saga (I had originally bought them as War hounds for Frostgrave)
I've painted them in similar fashion to the two haded dog except that the middle layer is light brown rather than a medium gray.  They should match my existing wolfhounds I should get a picture of them all together once I get rid of the snow basing on the original wolfhounds.

Masumi, Demon Hunter

Another example Bones miniature I'm finally getting off by table.  I'm very happy with the shading on her skin but the cloth came out less well.
The Flash washes out some of the dept especially on the yellow.
The more distant shot doesn't look as washed out. I need to find a new place to get photos as the lighting here seems to washout the miniatures some.

A Few Random Bones Minatures.

First up an archer or perhaps a ranger.  Not a historical out fit but not too far off (at least as good as some popular TV shows) So I might use her with some of the Bad Squiddo archers.
I think the fur lined cloak came out fairly well.
I am very happy with how the colors for this lady worked out.  Clearly a well born woman (or a successful one).  She seems to either be in the act of raising or lowering her hood.
She could work as a wizard or cleric and she's another good candidate for a woman who needs to be rescued or escorted in a scenario.
This miniature will be handy for Frostgrave or other fantasy games.  I suspect it will see some play in an undead army for Dragon Rampant (or Fantasy Saga)
I tried to shade the black and I think I did OK though it is hard to see in this picture.  I'm not sure how I feel about the scythe it seems to solid for to be this aperitions weapon... any Ideas how to fix that?

Bones Hobgoblins

These guys were a lot of fun to paint 4 Hobgoblins done in the Early monster manual "Asian" style. a
I wanted these gusy to look like a unit of elite soldiers. I'll use these for Dragon Rampant.  These will make a fine unit of Elite Unit of Infantry.  The three on the left will stand for the first three hits and the big fellow on the left will stand in for the last three hits.

Bones Mausoleum

 This was one of the pieces that got me to take part in the Reaper Kickstarter Bones III.  Its a great light weight plastic building that will go well on many tables.
 I chose to make mine look weathered but well preserved (suspiciously well preserved)
 The roof came out great I did it in bronze because the sculpting looked metallic to me.  I then created a yellow green wash to make it look tarnished.
 The sides I did in Black, gold and silver bright and shiny
The floor is done with a darker wash and less dry brushing. I did the circle with red to make it a bit spookier.
The opening door works great I wish they had put similar thought it the roof.  It slots into place well enough but it doesn't lift out easily which will be a bit of a pain on the table.  The large number of sculls gives this a bit of Game Workshop look but that's a minor flaw.
