Dark Tower: Church Militant Spellcasters and Hellhound

Here's a few more miniatures for my Dark Tower Frostgrave campaigns, two Cleric-like spellcasters, and an extra-dimensional stalker.

 First up is a bishop for the Church Militant, a vestige of the old order in the plague-ridden, anarchic city where Dark Tower takes place. It's a really nice model with a lot of detail, and a very serene look to it, which I tried to bring out in the face. He holds a medallion, with another around his neck. I painted these as the sun and moon... perhaps he can bring day or night by using the proper image...

Around his neck is a scarf, embroidered with dots arranged in triangles, a Celtic symbol of holiness. He also has a good bit of magical gear, a rod of healing, and two wands - well equipped to fight the many demons and sorcerers he shall face.

Here's his apprentice, clad in the same, although less embroidered colors as the Bishop. This, along with the Illusionist and Plague Doctor in my previous post, are three of my favorite miniatures I've painted. The colors on the clothes, and the smooth tones on the face, really turned out well. I actually left a bit of flash on the model, which forms the lowest finger. I liked how it looked with the one hanging down!

Like her master, she carries a good bit of magic items, fitting in well with the rest of the well-equipped Church Militant. These two spellcasters will be supported by some recently purchased Frostgrave soldiers, mostly men at arms and crossbowmen, painted in the same gray, yellow and turquoise livery.

 Lastly, a Hellhound to stalk those unfortunate enough to violate its hiding place. I've taken my inspiration more from Hound of the Baskervilles and H. P. Lovecraft's short story The Hound rather than the Hellhounds of modern gaming, using it in Frostgrave as a personal demon trap from Into the Breeding Pits with will-based bay attacks.

It has a very distinctive color, which is actually one half from a separated Vallejo Prussian Blue! It reminds me of another Lovecraft's story, The Color from Space, appearing black, blue, or an iridescent purple under different lights. Perfect for extraplanar life, whose strange dimensions possess colors, and senses unknown to man...
