Super Spreader Center
Stopped at Walmart in Delmont, PA to grab a few things on the way home today. About a dozen people not wearing masks in the store. People crowding in aisles, not social distancing. I asked to see a manager and was told there was none on duty. Won't spend another dime in a Walmart again. With over 219,000 Americans dead from Covid-19, this is unacceptable. Obviously Walmart doesn't give a rat's a$$ about public health and safety.

Getting a Little Chilly
Meet Boerogg Blackrime, Frost Giant. This miniature is from the Reaper Bones Miniatures line. I tried to keep true to what a Frost Giant should look like as far as hair, skin, etc. I wanted a pale pallet for the furs, leathers, bones, and what not. I stayed with grays and tans for the most part. There are a couple of spots I went with a dark brown where I thought the leather would be thicker. The ice sword was painted with a white-blue metallic finish. I then gave it a coat of high gloss as well as the crown. Lastly, it got iridescent glitter highlights. I am super pleased with this little giant.

Riding High Again
I got a great deal on this D&D Skyjek Roc. My original idea was to turn it into Tzeentch, a Chaos God from WH40K. When I got it, I noticed that it had a saddle on its back. I quickly came up with a Plan B. I got out my old friendly neighborhood bitz box. I found a body of a Nurgle Fell Beast Rider. The head is from a HorrorClix figure. The shield was from a dollar store bag of knights.
I cobbled a rider together out of the parts. I gave it a paint job that I thought looked good. With some Sculpey, I modified the saddle some. When everything dried, I put it all together. Check out the final product.
