I actually got out the airbrush, some brushes and the paints on Sunday to whip out a couple of Stonehouse Miniatures resin sphinxes for use in Wargods of Aegyptus.

My previous "zombie sphinx" got sold when I had it on display at their table in August, but I let it go for twice my cost and bought two more.

Since my one painted army (so far) is Khemru the choice of the ram-headed sphinx was a no-brainer and I painted him to match the colors (gold/yellow and green) that I'd given to the Khemru:

The "rocks" are from Allen Rockwell and his Game Craft Miniatures.

a closer look at the sphinx by its lonesome here:

My only gripe with this is that some of the details are poorly rendered and the hieroglyphs weren't inscribed deeply enough – especially compared to the other sphinx.

Of course, I had to replace the zombie sphinx, so here it is rising from the desert sands:

Now, if I could just paint up more miniatures…

I love that zombie sphynx man, it looks great! The ram-sphynx looks good, too (criosphynx, right?), but I like the zombie one best.

What are you going to paint next?

With luck, I'll finish off the Khemru harbinger and some of the other characters here shortly. I'm trying to decide whether to do Eater of the Dead (undead) or Basti next but I'll probably wait on the latter since I have some figures coming from Germany for that army.

I couldn't remember "criosphynx." I kept thinking "hieracosphinx" which is the hawk-headed version.

Very cool khemru. I'd like to see the rest of your Wargods miniatures.
