Zomtober 2016/2: Making Headway


I nearly finished on time... nearly.

My contribution to this week's Zomtober festivities is Otherworld Miniatures' Penanggalan. An unusual mini and a triple threat: 1) Zomtober appropriate, 2) Sculpted by Paul Muller, 3) Found in the Fiend Folio.

The Penanggalan is from Malaysian folklore. A bizarre beastie to be sure.


This has been painted in the same scheme as last Zomtober's red ghouls. More to follow.

    1. The mini's little more than a face, lots of hair, and some dangling guts. Luckily Mr. Muller brought his A-game with the face.

  3. Corking stuff Finch. I don't know which is scarier though, the excellent paint-job or how fragile the mini looks :-)

    1. Thanks, Simon. It likely wouldn't survive a fall of any distance, that's for sure.

  4. Great work! As the others have mentioned, the face is perfect. The Penanggalan is one of my all time favourites from the FF (she must taken second place to a Son of Kyuss).

    1. I'm a flumph-man myself but the son of Kyuss definitely has its charm... disgusting, worm-riddled charm.

  5. Beautiful paintjob, but one seriously messed up mini, I love it!

    Cheers Roger.
