Speed-painted giant orc

 Here's a boardgame figure (from Massive Darkness, I think) speed-painted to act as some sort of giant orc or undernourished ogre in my 25mm megadungeon project. He was painted using contrast paints initially, which is why he's a bit glossy in the recesses. A coat of matt varnish should fix that. 

More Minfigs gnolls

 Here are a couple more Minifigs gnolls to go with the one I painted up last week. The new ones are from the 80s (?) Greyhawk range rather than the 70s D&D range and are somewhat more hyena-like. But I like the look of both types together - some more manlike, others bearing more heavily the Mark of the Beast.

A Minifigs gnoll

 

Here's an old Minifigs gnoll. This range is clearly based on the Tom Wham illustration from the Basic D&D set:

And the Wham drawing is based on Dave Sutherland's illustration in the Monster Manual, though the former seems to have lost some of the more hyena-ish elements along the way:

A later range of Minfigs gnolls (World of Greyhawk, below) make the creatures more hyena-like, but they still retain some similarities to the original range - especially in stature. 

I'll be fielding the two types together in games: it would be odd to expect creatures of chaos (which is what gnolls are in early D&D) to lack variety!
