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.

25th Anniversary Grim Reaper

This is Reaper Miniatures 25th Sliver Anniversary Grim Reaper 01600. I did him up as a gift. Things went just OK, the cloak is really big (a dominant feature), and I'm not 100% sure I did my best, but sometimes these things happen.

While I'm not stoked on the cloak, I really like the skull, the wraps on the scythe, and the patina around the bolts on the copper. I also think I didn't bugger up the hourglass too much. :P

Age of Sigmar, Sigmarite Mausoleum

It's official (well no, not really), but the Age of Sigmar, Sigmarite Mausoleum, is pretty sweet terrain for Frostgrave. The evidence I have is as follows:

Exhibit A (for Awesome)

Take note of the sweet looking patina on the roof.

Exhibit B (for Badass)

Note the overall composition.

Exhibit C (for Crazy paint job)

I'd love to take credit for this work, but sadly I can't. What I can tell you is that the Sigmar stuff made for a pretty sweet game of Frostgrave. Also, if you're looking for a sweet copper roof aged to perfection I can let you in on a little secret; Games Workshop Screaming Bell. You can have your own sweet looking copper roof in a flash.
