Who let the dogs out? And why are they so darned shiny?

I've been having a bloomin nightmare recently with my matt spray varnish.  It is proving to be anything but matt.  This is shown off really well by my latest canine additions. 

They're not new, I found them in a random box of old lead in the garage with the remnants of an old paint job on them.  I think that they're from the Lord of the Rings range by Games Workshop, something to do with the Shire if I recall correctly.

I reckon that these will make a fun addition to my VBCW collection, either for use by dog handlers or as a GM controlled inject to liven up the game a little.

Down Boy!

I'm sure, well I hope, that I'm not the only one that sees a beautiful miniature and buys it with out really thinking about how it will be employed or whether I can actually afford it.  This chap is rather lovely and is from the Wulfen SS set by Warlord.  I'm still working on Frau Growler who is just not looking right yet.  I had various plans to spend ages on the Werewolf but after an intense 15 minutes I realised that it was looking alright and I'd probably only make a mess of it if I spent longer on it.  Anyway, enough rambling, I'd not like to run into this chap on a dark night.
