Dollar Tree "Tombstone Corner" Gargoyles Painted
I had time this week to paint the Gargoyles I recently purchased from the Dollar Tree's new line of Halloween scenery. See my post here for more details. I bought two sets, one to use for 28mm gaming, and one to use with my 10mm armies.
For the 28mm ones, I mounted them individually on washers, and painted them in a stone-like paint scheme.
They are shown below with a Reaper Paladin for a sense of scale.
The ones for 10mm, I painted as demons in a red color scheme.
Below they are shown with some 10mm skeletons for a sense of scale.
Overalll, they are not too bad. The sculpting is a little rough, but hey, they were only a $1 so I can't complain. The other problem is that their facial expressions tend towards the "cute", which I found hard to disguise with paint.

Cute? People kill cuddly bunnies, goats, lambs, cows, ducks, etc... everyday. Maybe, your hero is a villain. Maybe these innocent gargoyle was eating their freshly cooked porridge and having a family time meal when all of a sudden this brute burst down their door demanding treasure. Bet you did not think of that.
