Small request...next update could you include a picture from further away? If it looks amazing this close up, it'd be interesting to see how it looks at arm's length

A very neat dwarf, even if the axe is pure Warhammer...
So, becoming a mod on O-R is bad for the back? Terrible.... :roll:

Really great job on him so far, I particularly like the leather armour, you managed to achieve a very realistic effect there.

Hope your back is better, cheers!

Awesome leather effect

Maybe add just another tiny highlight to imitate wear of he material oand it will be top notch

Thanks guys.

I worked the leather just a wee bit more. I know I could try to make it better but, at the moment, I just want to get rid of this little bugger so I'll call it done.

Again, the pictures are not great. For some reason the setup I always used isnt really working for this mini and sunny days seem to be on strike. Best I could do, sorry guys.

The snow I used is a product from Andrea miniatures and it looks pretty good and very easy to use. You just need to do a 50:50 PVA/water mix and add this stuff, and then apply on the model with a brush or a toothpick. Good stuff.

The mini turned out great, I really like the way the shades of colours you chose work together. The base is also excellent - what did you use for the snow?

MacGothmog · **Posted:** Sat Apr 03, 2010 4:01 pm

Oh yeah... I forgot about you Anduril.

Didn't really take notes but the handle was painted starting with a mix of Dark Flesh and Red Gore, adding some Basic Red (Andrea) to highlight, and then some yellowish/orangy mix I had around from the gold NMM. I know that I used some blue too to darken the mix for the shades too. Sorry if I'm not too specific but like I said, don't have any notes.

Further away pics? Sure.

@Viruk: The snow is a product from Andrea miniatures. They call it crystal mineral powder... here's a link.

That is a very nice interpretation of this mini. Well done mate.

Haldir_pl · **Posted:** Sat Apr 03, 2010 6:17 pm

Base completed well painted mini. NMM was a good idea in context of this particular interpretation.

Thanks Mac! Using blue for shading is an interesting idea...I've heard of it before, now I'll have to try it

Awesome awesome work Mac....by the way, I'll send you my address and expect it in the mail within the week

The snowy base really completed it, and was a nice contrast to the colors used on the dwarf...well done :yay:

Been a while since I last updated this thread... about time I guess.

I finally picked the (free

) Mantic ghouls and started painting them. Overall, I'm really impressed by the quality of the details and sculpt. It really is top notch and I don't have any problem recommending these. I wasnt that impressed with the elfs, but these are great! And cheap!

If you are not familiar with the Mantic ranges, check their stuff in the Mantic Games website.

Anyway, I did some work on one of the two ghouls I got in the free sprue and this is how it is looking so far:

See you soon!

Very nicely done! That model looks neat. Great painting.

MacGothmog · **Posted:** Thu Aug 19, 2010 10:08 pm

Update time! Freddie's claw is now painted, and so is the satchel with the extra feet and hand.

Not investing too much time on these so I'll move forward to the other ghoul and then make some sort of scenic base for them.

Catch you later!

The face on this bugger looks awesome Mac, nice job

Ranger of Gondor · **Posted:** Sun Aug 22, 2010 8:41 pm

Indeed, very well done :yay:

IMO, it looks a lot like a zombie... but maybe that's just because I watched 28 Days Later ^^
