Dwarf Lord Morlik

Scibor's Dwarf Lord Morlik, or as we call him, Horlik, is done.

Scibor's Dwarf, Lord Morlik

This was the first figure where I really tried had to mix NMM and TMM in the same part of the figure.

Combining NMM with TMM?

Does this happen when you try NMM?

Fear not, for you are not alone.

Nothing like starting out a project only to realize that you managed to assemble the model "wrong". Especially when said model only consists of 4 pieces! One could argue that you screwed up 50% of it, which is pretty Proctor. Carefully examine the picture below and see if you can spot the difference between it and the one that follows.

Here he is, Dwarf Lord Thaldar (Scibor part number 28FM0271).

Scibor Dwarf, WIP

Sometimes in order to move forward you have to look to the past. Here's what I mean. I painted my first Scibor Dwarf a while ago, and since I want them, (all the Dwarfs), to look like a group, it's important to examine the old while considering the new.

I knew I was going to keep the metallic gold, and I knew that the cloak colors should be vibrant. I also knew that the armor should be deep blacks, and mottled up all the way to bright steel. One of the things I wanted to change was how the gold is offset from the "enamel". Here the enamel is a strong blue, which matches the tone of the cloak, I got this wrong the first time. The brown enamel doesn't show off the gold enough, in fact it just looks like gold.

He's only shorter because he needs a base.

Mixed non/metallic metal on cloak

The furs look very similar.

I dont know how I got the furs to match so well; I didnt take notes the first time.

Fur recipe (current): Rhinox Hide, Mournfang Brown, Tallarn Sand (maybe Zandri Dust), White Scar (mixed with the final tan-sand). That's the list of required paint. Method: base with Rhinox, layer with Mournfang, drybrush the final highlights.

On the Workbench

There's always things going on behind the scenes and this weeks mid-week (it started mid-week) update is just to show what's on deck. In no particular order, some GW cultists, some Scibor Dwarves (plus gross zombie) and a gigantic Cockatrice!

Games Workshop Cultists

I really like these guys, I'm thinking of doing a Star Wars "Sand People" kind of look with them. Particularly since they have all the right kind of masks and such.

Sand People?

 The next batch of Scibor Monstrous Miniatures is also coming along. The Dwarf Lords are pretty cool, they just need more cleaning and tome green stuff before priming.

Sibor Dwarf Lords

Two weeks ago I was at a local shop and all the Games Workshop stuff was on for 50% off! I guess they're dropping it. Anyhow I did buy this giant Cockatrice. It's Citadel "Finecast", that everyone likes to hate, but it seems fine in this case, and at 50% off...

Giant Cockatrice

 The cockitrice needs a lot more green stuff, and I'm not totally stoked that it's staring at the ground, but I think that with some creative base work it might turn out alright.

I do have some actual painting work in progress, but it's a surprise.

Hack

Scibor Dwarf Lord

A couple of months ago, (maybe a year?), I dunno, I picked up a bunch of dwarf lords from Scibor Monstrous Miniatures. The shipping was slow, but Poland is pretty far from California. Anyhow, I finally got around to painting one of them.

As an experiment of sorts, I went nuts with the metallic paint. I was trying to do lots on NMM Gold and iron and steel and whatever, but really I don't have the chops for that yet. With that in mind I tried to paint this dude with all the metallic paint I had on hand. I mostly used Gehenna's Gold, with mixes of that and Runefang Steel for the highlights. Most of the gold shading was done with Reikland Fleshshade (see the hammer).

 

I wish my last cloak turned out this good.

The other golds were more experimental, I actually watered down Golden Griffon, which is designed for drybrushing, but it's actually a pretty cool color. This was used on the shoulder pad decorations, it's alright.

Time for a bowl!

 Well that about covers it for now. Upcoming posts will be WIP (brood lord) and showing off this epic Boar that I picked up while on holiday.

Yeah he's got a pipe 

Blood Bowl Dwarf Team

So... everyone go numbers! The Blood Bowl team is really coming together. As soon as I get a new lamp I'm going to finish off the edge highlights and some gems and trinkets and things.

Linemen wear their numbers on the front right shoulder, and their left side. On their backs they wear the team crest.

Linemen

Blitzers have a large number on their back and a small number on the front left shoulder pad.

Blitzers

Troll slayers wear their digits on their back, and their left shoulder. With number 13 wearing his upside-down for luck...

Slayers in the back

Runners display their numbers on their left shoulder and their back, while their right shoulder carries the team crest. 

Runner with horns

Some of the pictures are a little shaky, must be time for a drink... Also gotta start thinking about the DEATHROLLER!!! hahaha.
