What are the odds one of the 100 minis in the dark souls board game fits this description?
I would say pretty good.

Do you have the fabled iron king?
idle plinth
I don’t think so. I have the iron keep expansion but that’s Sir Alonne and Smelter Demon for bosses.
ruby roost
Asylum demon has a crown on bone but its more a body feature.
Sir alonne was a right hand man of a king
If you have the character expansions the brass armor has a crown kinda built into it if i rember correctly
ruby roost
Oh you have the four kings?
idle plinth
I do indeed
ruby roost
That would defs work. Also fucking lucky lol
idle plinth
One of them had broken off the base when I got it. Mailed steam forged about it and got completely ignored.
But it glued on easily enough.
ruby roost
I think you could order the dnd one as a replacement if they have it. I know theyve got the gaurdian dragon
idle plinth
But it has taught me not to support steamforged on kickstarter anymore.
It was fine with a bit of glue.
But annoyed with shitty customer support.
ruby roost
But the elden ring kickstarter.

I'll have to see if I've got a crowned mini. I assume I do somewhere.
broken edge
Is miniature. Has 'crown'. This counts, right?
(I'm in for an actual crowned mini, not the recently elevated mammoth)
past vale
Ohhhh I think faceless king would work too
past vale

Lmao this is great print a crown for him and do that 😂😂
misty rock

Yes
broken edge
Oh, heck. Y'all went for it.
Now I actually have to paint that monstrosity 😓
ruby roost
Just skulpt a small crown and glue it on.
broken edge
Oh, aye. I've just been avoiding that model most of the year.
misty rock
Oh, aye. I've just been avoiding that model most of the year.
Airbrush and drybrush fur and spend 10 hours on crown

Airbrush and drybrush fur and spend 10 hours on crown
Apart from the airbrush part, this is my plan for Sif from Dark Souls. Spend all time on sword and face.
Think it could be good practice for doing sword whenever I get to it.

I'll join in.
ruby roost
I'll join in.
Oooh what mini is that?
hazy sun
Oooh what mini is that?
I'm not sure what the name is. I'm at work so I don't have access to all my files. I'll take a look and see if I can track it down.
ruby roost
Your printer seems very well tuned in
hazy sun
It's a Mars 3 running default settings believe it or not. I believe that one was anycubic grey resin.
ruby roost
Huh. Nice
hidden kestrel
I should have one spare queen figure after I finish my chess set. The least flashy of the three but she has a crown.
hazy sun
Oooh what mini is that?
https://www.artstation.com/artwork/8wO4Eq Found it. It's called "Lady Enya"
ruby roost
Doit
misty rock
It is purfect

I was rummaging through some unpainted models, and found that this reaper bones skeleton pirate is wearing a crown.
past vale
Omg I have this one saved too!!

Are completed PALs still posted on request points or the individual threads now?

Request points still

You can post your finished pal pieces here but for points that still follows old rules of the points channel as Wolfy mentioned 😎
restive gale
Have had adherence issues with all previous Wildspire minis. Brushed with toothpaste to hopefully rough up the surface of this one 🤞

Think this is royal/crowny enough?
misty rock
Think this is royal/crowny enough?
Looks like there is a crown so yes welcome!
old salmon
Is she crowny enough?
misty rock
Is she crowny enough?
Yup!
old salmon
Sick cuz I love her and I wanted to paint her next
misty rock

She's very cool I'm excited. Don't forget your daily post it you haven't done it yet
vagrant citrus

This is a frigging cool model
deep trail
imma start this
misty rock
Heck yeah
ruby roost
imma start this
What is thay mini it looks awsome
deep trail
reaper bone frost giant princess/queen i think?
it's from the first Bones kickstarter iirc
anyway basically finished it. Just gotta base her
idle plinth
Reminds me of maliketh from Elden Ring
ruby roost
Oh wait we are having crown along go right now lol.
I gotta get my mini built and juggle it with three others
broken edge
That is far too accurate..
misty rock
That's how I work 😂😂
idle plinth
I just accept that my completion rate for PALs is going to be abysmal.
Otherwise I don’t have time to paint shit outside of them 😛
misty rock
You must finish them all 🤨.. or else 🫠😂jk
Yeah it's going to be a rough next 2 months lol
broken edge
PAL's are pretty much the only thing I do on the regular. I just try to choose minis that fit whatever campaign is coming up/in progress
It mostly works, if a bit haphazardly
I could be a bit more regular if the PC's would just pick a damn direction already
misty rock
I could be a bit more regular if the PC's would just pick a damn direction alrea...
Ah you play with those born of chaos 😂
broken edge
ruby roost
Got my crown along assembled
past vale
Yasss
ruby roost
A bit of a pain to assemble. She is not glued to the base yet and the front cloth isnt glued on yet for painting. I feel those being seperate will be easier to paint
misty rock
So I realized I had this crown ghost so here we are.. painting scrooge 🫠. I think I did his hair and beard a bit too bright / so I'll fix it up as I go later on. Mind you it's under a Hella bright shop light 😂 so who knows
ruby roost
Thats the lord of the rings ghost king isnt it?
misty rock

Anyone know the price of this year's GW Boxing Day mini? It has a crown, that's why I'm asking here.
vagrant citrus
@past vale did you send me the stl for that blob king or am I mixing stuff up?
nvm
you did
and I found it again 🆒
past vale
Lol okay good!

old salmon
WIP
past vale
Damn that texture
old salmon
The texture is native to the sculpt. I'm trying to not paint too thick so the texture still shows through and not add any extra texture myself so just working on getting the highlights right and proper
It's really a fantastic sculpt
past vale
Wow that’s a beautiful sculpt holy shit
hollow socket
Seeking an easier way to carry some of the loot, Dead 'arold, unusually inspired, crowned himself ruler of this island by the simple act of placing the Crown upon his otherwise empty skull.
old salmon
Done!
old salmon
Thanks! Her skin tone was hard to hit and I think I did an ok enough job on it
past vale
You crushed it
ruby roost
I need to get mine started. Probably going to be the first mini of the year
hidden kestrel
About to start mine. Probably the last mini for the year.
hidden kestrel
Quite a quick paint job. This figure is tiny.
That's a 20mm base.
I'm really happy with how it has turned out - especially the face.
hazy sun
Started the queen. Already can see I'm going to have to rework the face and change the hip color, but at least there's paint on it now.
past vale
He’s getting some work
ruby roost
I think ill prime and start my crown along tomorroe
vagrant citrus
I'm waiting for print guy :(
rugged elm
I just realized I got a crown mini with Arcadia quest. I can now do this PAL!

So good! I clumsily dropped mine and they broke off lol
vagrant citrus
Damn yours looks good!!!!
Thanks 
yours looks phenomenal!
And I still gotta do the little raised areas with a brush
I was crazily thinking about going for Gold NMM on the crown
Am I gonna hate myself for that? Hell yeah
Am I still gonna try? Bet on it 😂
past vale
I was crazily thinking about going for Gold NMM on the crown
Do NMM
So I can see it!!
I love doing the same minis lol I learn so much
vagrant citrus
I love doing the same minis lol I learn so much
I'm not sure you will learn a lot from my NMM 😂 but I will give it my best!
vagrant citrus
Haha It's really interesting how different the approaches can be
past vale
I know!! It’s why I love seeing the princess of samesies alongs!
vagrant citrus
Yeah I also learned sooo much stuff just by doing the Paintalongs
they are basically a painting bootcamp :D
lol Drill Seargeant Dorka :D
rugged elm
And Lord Croc is done! First time doing gem too!
First time using AK ultra matt varnish and I must say I am most impressed!
ruby roost
Proof i am working on my mini lol. (Pinup)
ruby roost
Little more skin progress. Gunna try to finish the whole thing by the end of the week
vagrant citrus
Enough work for one day
past vale
Enough work for one day
Omg how did you get the slime to be so shiny?!?!
vagrant citrus
Omg how did you get the slime to be so shiny?!?!
haha I think that's the Inks fault
past vale
Like it actually looks like slime lol
past vale
Damn
vagrant citrus
But I think I'm going to go over it with a gloss varnish in the ende
that should make it pop even more
vagrant citrus
I'm unsure if I should hit the crown and scepter too though
but thats easy to avoid
I think I still got a few hours of trying NMM before me 🫠
past vale
I think I still got a few hours of trying NMM before me 🫠
You can do it!
vagrant citrus
Starting with glazing, we're getting somewhere
Definitely needs more shadows though in the front lol
ruby roost
So with gold i start with a brown?
vagrant citrus
I would rather start with the midtone, then draw the brown in, cause its a pain the other way around
I'm still a total beginner with this stuff, but I tried following that came with the paintset just to see how it works
vagrant citrus
So with gold i start with a brown?
ruby roost
I might buy that kit. Its the ak one right?
vagrant citrus
Yeah, got it as a gift in the secret Santa and so far it's awesome
It's probably also smarter to do this on simpler geometries first, but I'm dumb and a crown is gold soooo i went for it
ruby roost
Eeeh never learn if you dont try
ruby roost
It does. Its a completely different look than metalics
vagrant citrus
Finished, time for pictures
vagrant citrus
past vale
The slime and NMM came out so good!!!!
vagrant citrus

Big Thanks 
past vale
Was it a struggle?
vagrant citrus
Was it a struggle?
Yeah kinda, but mostly because it was such a big area!
I learned tons though
past vale
I think I’m gonna try it on the belt buckle of my bone dude
vagrant citrus
You can teach me lol
hahaha I can give it my best, but I also had lots of help lol
past vale
Lol all the best painters do!
vagrant citrus
the only part that's really hard is knowing where to put the highlights and shadows
that's what sells the effect
everything else is basically normal painting
you don't even need to blend tbh
ruby roost
Im almost done with my crown along
misty rock
Im almost done with my crown along

Here it is. My crown along.
She looks amazing. And that orange yellow is gorgeous
ruby roost
Thank you. Im happy with it now. I had to stop touching the skin cause i kept messing it up. Which paint along should i focus next? Kdm along, or dragon along?
ruby roost
