I have painted up a Reaper Bones Yeti Shredder to be used as a white gorilla in the game of Frostgrave. I found the mold lines very difficult to remove completely, but overall I like the quality of this miniature. This was the first time that I painted one of these plastic miniatures. They look and feel a bit weird at first, but they look great when painted up.
I went for a warm palette of colors for this one so he wouldn’t blend in completely with the snow on the base. The base color is Vallejo Green Ochre and I highlighted up from there with som minor shading added as well. I try not to rely on drybrushing when painting fur because I think much of the definition of the miniature is lost with that approach. Instead I try to build up the highlights like I would do with any other surface so you are still able to pick out the muscles.
I went for a dark skin tone so it would contrast nicely with the fur. It also makes him resemble a gorilla more.
This is the very start of my bestiary for Frostgrave. Next, I will be working on some skeletons and zombies to give my necromancer some more enemies to fight.
