First up is probably the most drab of the four miniatures, Lemuel Gaumon. I wanted to keep his robes very muted, as though they were the lowest level of aspirant robes provided to him when he began his tutelage under Ahriman. The fez? ...Fezzes are cool.

Next up is Kallista Eris (fnord) who ended up looking fairly tomb-raider-esque which I suppose is befitting her role in the book. The greatcoat in Spireguard colors worked out pretty well as well!

Camille Shivani's mini ended up being one of my favorites, if only because I got a chance to use some colors far removed from the recent palette!

Finally an old sage model to represent Mahavastu Kallimakus. I wanted to keep him looking fairly monochrome and washed out (with the exception of the power cables for the scrivener harness) as he's described as being more or less hollowed-out by his service to Magnus.

All in all I'm well pleased with how they turned out, and really feel like my painting mojo has been recharged by the quick diversion. One interesting thing that stands out to me is how much a well-sculpted face helps a model. The difference in detail to work with between the Reaper, Privateer Press and GW miniatures is significant - say what you will about GW's minis, their sculptors do amazingly detailed work!
...In other news, this is post #490! Only ten more to go to the big 500, going to have to come up with some fun giveaways to celebrate that milestone!
