Quick and easy win today – though it still took awhile longer than it should have to get them done, even after I started them – but here’s a trio of Giant Bats from Reaper’s Bones Black line of models, though I got these from whichever Kickstarter they dropped in. I know including them in the D&D series is kinda borderline, but Giant Bats are very much a D&D thing, and we all know that Reaper’s biggest thing is off-brand D&D models, so…
These are destined to maybe used in a D&D boardgame if needed, but otherwise will work as swarm models for Marouda’s Undead Kings of War army, and possibly as somethingorother in Vampire Counts …I mean “Soulblight Gravelords” for AoS.

Very nice! 🙂 I’m sure they’d be eligible for Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery challenge as “gravestones with bats”!

Cheers mate – they’re pretty well priced if you decide to pick some up at some stage. Certainly compared to the metals!

Thanks Alex – that’s actually what got me motivated to get them painted – Cursed City practise. But then I haven’t managed to follow it up with any actual Cursed City stuff…

Yeah, I hear you there. I’m trying to get Brimstone playable, not to mention finish a ton more Zombicide survivors and zombies…

Those are great- I love bats anyway but I love how you’ve shaded them but still kept them looking dark.
Cheers,
Pete.

Yeah, the camera really captured the sheen on the second photo, but they’re a little more like the first pic overall – though to be fair, those ones are more shaded due to the lighting angles. 🙂

Excellent work mate, I would say you could count them in the scenery, as I would count gravestones

I like them, from their dark wings to the glowy eyes!

Nice work on these! They’re Bones Black, the darker, harder plastic? I saw them last year at my old hobby store in CA but they were the older white stuff, and the wings were badly bent so I didn’t bother getting them. If Reaper’s redone them in the new plastic I might give them a shot. Also, how do you keep churning out minis at such a rate?

Very nice paint job on these. As others said, good contrast, while being suitably dark. I honestly don’t like the sculpts, but you really made them shine. And the sculpts are much better than the old GW giant bats.

I love a good bat sculpt and good on Marouda for picking the undead army in Kings of War. I really gravitate towards those in the traditional fantasy wargames too. I agree that these are versatile minis and I like how these are on gravestones. That makes them seem perfectly aligned with vampires!
