I bet IKEA is terrible in Faerun…

 So, brief diversion from the Firefly project - I painted a mimic!

I stuck fairly close to the pictures in the Monster Manual for this one, and it came out pretty nice.

Why paint a mimic now? Well, I attacked my family with one last year, and to my shame had to use an undercoated mini, so we’re unlikely to need one again soon in this campaign. On the other hand, we have vague plans to play Strixhaven Curriculum of Chaos once this campaign ends (so, probably in 2 or 3 years) and flicking through the book the other day I spotted that the first couple of combats need a Mimic and an Owlbear. An Owlbear I have already, so the Mimic got bumped up the painting queue so that when we do eventually start that campaign that’s one less mini that I have to scramble to get ready.

Painting him brings the Tally to:

5 vs 2 = +3

And also adds another entry to the Monstrous Alphabet

A is for
B is for Bullywug
C is for Carrion Crawler
D is for
E is for Elemental (More than one)
F is for Flameskull
G is for Goblin
H is for
I is for Intellect Devourer
J is for
K is for
L is for Lich
M is for Mind Flayer, Myconid, Mummy, Manticore, Mimic
N is for
O is for Owlbear, Ooze
P is for Purple Worm
Q is for

S is for Shambling Mound, Scarecrow, Skeleton
T is for Thri-Kreen
U is for
V is for
W is for Wraith
X is for
Y is for
Z is for Zombie

I should probably see about filling in some other letters rather than just keeping adding to M though… on the other hand, I do have two other Mimics undercoated, so we’ll see…
