One of the things I find fun about these kinds of big fig kickstarters is I end up with a bunch of stuff that I might not have ever considered but that I might try really hard to work in somewhere. Notably, last week's offering
wasn't this kind of thing. Also like last week, links seem to be few and far between despite how many levers and dials the Reaper site has. If I give the figure a "name" it means "I have no idea what this guy is so here's a silly name for it."
First up we have Night Cloak, "angry dagger worm", and Dire Cabbage. The first and last are the best kind of paint jobs: high drama, low effort. In both cases, the sculpt is doing most of the work and both were painted as successive sets of drybrush and transparent paints. The angry dagger worm guy took way more effort since he wasn't all one color. I had a rough time getting the fleshtones on his underbelly to look OK and, well, they still don't. I was done with him, tho, so that's where he landed.
Next up we have
Young Fire Dragon who I might have painted in red if I'd known that before looking up the link and "frogmouth wing guy". These are two more high drama, low effort works. Probably the dragon could use a little more variation top to bottom and/or picking out the wing membranes which I normally do. Still, I don't think either are terrible but neither is particularly good.
