Let's Get Familiar

Well, I was intending to paint some Night Goblins or maybe some random barbarians, but instead I remembered I had a bunch of familiars (or constructs, or similar) which I had originally picked up largely for a Demon World game I'd been thinking about. So I've spent the day painting them all up!

Two little mini-knights, one of whom (on the left) has a little whistle on its helmet), and a wizard imp wearing Mickey Mouse's wizard hat from the Sorceror's Apprentice

On the back of the little bronze one is what looks like a pull-string, which is fun, and the little imp has a rolled up magic scroll in its pocket

I decided to split them into a few groups - the first three (above) are based for Frostgrave, and then I did some for 40K, which can be used either for Inquisitorial warbands or for Chaos Sorcerors:

The artist's mannequin had actually been painted years ago and just never based, but the little Tzeentchian bird-familiar and the blue imp were done today

Purity seals on the bag the imp's carrying, which suggests either that it's working with a Radical Inquisitor or it just stole something

Finally the last three included a small frog that I got from a Dunkledorf Miniatures Kickstarter, which I based on a square base and will stick in my Bretonnian army as an homage to the 5th Edition Fay Enchantress miniature's toad.

The Keeper of Secrets is an old Epic miniature, and in 6mm would be terrifyingly large; the frog is just cute, and the classic Moonface looks really good in a red and black jester's outfit

I really like how the Slaaneshi familiar - the mini-Keeper - turned out

A productive day, all things considered! Nine completed figures for three seperate games systems.
