Gong Farmer Family (Dunkeldorf)

[Guyra]

A family of gong farmers(Gaerhart, Gertrud, & Gerd) from the Dunkeldorf line of minis! These were really fun to paint! 😄 (The bucket and wheelbarrow are part of the set.)

 

Painted with AP Speedpaints for the base coat and some tinting, as well as some regular AP paints and a bunch of Reaper paints. Did some experimenting with this, doing no layering outside of the skin, but instead went hard on the edge highlighting. I think it turned out well. 😄

Great colourscheme on these!

I love minis with character and these have such a lot. The paintjob is superb

[Chaoswolf]

Yes, it is; they look great!

I've often admired these Dunkeldorf minis, but haven't gotten around to picking any up yet. I agree, your paint job really helps the character of these minis shine through wonderfully. They also have a darkness to them that seems appropriate (as though they lead hard, gloomy lives). I like them!

The Dunkeldorf line has become my personal favourite miniatures line. They just check a lot of boxes with me. 😄

I try to add a little bit of my own flavour to every Dunkeldorf mini I paint, though I haven't painted that many yet. I want the personalities of these minis to be visible through my painting of them, and I'm glad to hear I succeeded in that with these. 😊

 

Thank you! 😄

Superb wretched peasants! Great photography, too.

Thank you very much! :D

These look great - I think your choice of technique worked really well with these minis, it gives them a deeply dirty look with clear highlights where the grim wore off
