Bathalian D'Khul - Reaper Dark Heaven Bones Miniature #77020 Sculpted by Sandra Garrity
Here's the thing about painting metal miniatures: You have to prime them before you can paint them, because by its very nature acrylic paint doesn't adhere well to metal. I use a spray automotive primer I picked up at Home Depot. Works great!
But here's the thing about the Bones line of miniatures: You don't have to prime them! They're made out of polymer, so you just start painting.
Unless, like me, about two thirds of the way done you realize you've chosen badly in terms of color scheme. I took the horrible looking mess I'd made and sprayed over it with primer. Then I started over with better results. The base is made of oak, crushed rock, sand, and sea shells.
