Army green just doesn't stick, no matter what. Time for some fucked up eye imagery loosely inspired by soviet anti-war rock song.

Wizards & Warfare, fantasy miniature wargame by Peter Irving of the Leicester Wargames and Model Soldier Society (undated 1st ed, 1976 2nd ed and 1978 3rd ed shown). Earlier printings reference many names from Tolkien's Lord of the Rings -- Ents, Nazgul, Hobbits, Riders of Rohan -- later replaced with more generic terms, similar to early and later versions of Dungeons & Dragons.

Ok, one day I will see a cool beholder mini and not be consumed by the need to paint it.
That day clearly isn't today though, and I'm not sorry.
Really happy with how this guy turned out, especially the eyes. Doing a sort of fade from the pupil rather than a hard edge to the iris worked really well with the black I think.
I took two tries to get the base colours of the skin down, my first attempt was more purple than pink/red in the recesses. I think the red version makes it much more fleshy in all the worst (best) ways.
This mini is Eye Tyrant 02 by Daybreak Miniatures

Prince George of Wales, a Protestant royal and heir to the English throne (and later King George IV), found himself enchanted with Maria Anne Fitzherbert, a twice-widowed devout Catholic, six years his senior. George sent to his beloved a tiny treasure, called an "eye jewel". Its origins are rooted in miniature painting and they were a Georgian fashion rage.

They were once tokens of romantic love. They were also mourning pieces; the eye of the deceased represented within a tiny, ornate frame. In this case, the pearls around the frame represent tears and the clouds, the passage to heaven.

Painted some barrels!
Some said painting yellow is hard but for whatever reason the grey ones gave me much more trouble to look good. Primed them in Wraithbone then i used 2 coats of Averland Sunset and a extra tinned coat of Reikland Fleshshade and the yellow looked fine! The grey too 4 coats of Eshin Grey before i said you're gonna be Skavenblight Dinge instead and that did cover properly. Paints are weird mkay :)
Also an oil wash to grime them up like the containers had
the radioactive leakage is done with Moot Green with any white paint and then a layer or 2 of Vallejo green fluorescent paint.
