After the skimping out by painting the Battleguard and Stone Golems I wanted to practice painting some miniatures that had a lot of details. I decided to go with Barnabus Frost and Almaran the Gold from the original Bones Kickstarter. I can’t say that I was pleased with how either turned out. For both miniatures I was…

All four miniatures were from the first Reaper Bones Kickstarter which…
