Bones 4 Miniatures in Yellow

Yellow can be one of the loudest colors, but also very soothing in the form of beiges and earth tones.  Yellow is also a fragile color, in that it can very easily veer into green or orange, or otherwise get dirty or turn gray. 

The Dungeon Aplhabet reports that yellow can be a bizarre, unearthly color, and that finding yellow creatures or features in a dungeon denotes something unsettlingly weird. 

Stephen King's "Hearts in Atlantis" describes unearthly secret agents with psychic powers disguised as human "Low Men in Yellow Coats."  Do these 'yellow coats' refer to khaki trenchcoats?  Or are they some poor cartoonish alien attempt to duplicate khaki, which appears yellow to human eyes? 

On to the miniatures.  These are all rewards from the Reaper Miniatures Bones 4 Kickstarter.

Bringing up the rear, we have a wizard, clad in arcane and mystical greenish yellow; and a witch or druid (Andowyn Thrushmoor by Bobby Jackson) in a more naturalistic yellowish green.  I don't play with the shapes of these models much, but I CAN choose what colors they are, and I want to improve the ethnic diversity of my miniatures.  When I saw the marvelous cloud of curly hair around Andowyn Thrushmoor's head, I decided to recognize it as African hair, like she's Whitney Houston as a witch.  I was hit hard by the vibrant and talented Whitney Houston's passing.  What a tragedy that we will never get to see Whitney Houston play a witch in a fantasy movie. 

Moving on, we have a whip-wielding rogue or cleric (Amrielle); and a grizzled veteran ranger (Jakob Knochengard by Bobby Jackson), both in muted naturalistic yellows.  Now that I think of it, Kevin Costner is good at playing grizzled veterans, and he did a movie with Whitney Houston... 

But leading the charge is a heavily-armored lady (Ava Justinia) with a proud yellow shield; and a heavily-muscled barbarian with what appears to be a golden fleece.  I almost feel sorry for the monsters. 

Maggots used to creep me out as a kid, especially when I saw their wet translucent wriggling bodies gorging on scraps of rotting meat in our poorly-sealed trash cans.  And the stench!  Yech!  I guess they still creep me out; I don't regret going vegetarian right now.  Anyway, here are 2 giant maggots, ready to eat some adventurers, and then grow into some even more terrifying bugs. 

Or maybe those larvae can be used as bait to hook these terrifying fish.  The yellowy fish (Razormouth by Chris Lewis) reminded me of a piranha, and the greenish fish (Terror Fish by Chris Lewis) reminded me of a "Green Terror" aquarium fish.

The 6-legged wolf sculpted by Sandra Garrity is called a "Bloodwolf," or maybe that's just the name for this particular 6-legged wolf.  I don't know where this creature comes from; I can't find it in any of my D&D books.  I imagined a wolf spattered with blood, with blood pouring out of its mouth, and scary glowing red eyes; or maybe its just a blood-like liquid, like betel nut juice. 

The Displacer (Phase Cat by Geoff Valley) is a classic D&D monster; this was cast in translucent purple to allude to its hard-to-visually-pin-down nature.  I decided to leave it mostly translucent, except for its eyes, mouth, and claws.  I was somewhat inspired by the Cheshire Cat,
