Bakalla Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I think that this is a beautiful sculpt and I've always liked this miniature. I've had him for a long time though without painting him, but now I finally have gotten around to painting him. He's kind of the kind of warrior I would regularly imagine myself playing when I was younger and still played RPG fantasy games. I always liked to wear plate mail armour and wield two handed swords (don't ask me why, perhaps I was making up for something! ) I've used vallejo game colours for everything except the metals, where I used Citadel Chain mail. I don't particularly like Vallejos metal colours, and I don't particularly like NMM either, especially not on a miniature like this one! I wanted to paint him in an autumn theme, that's why I've been using red, green, orange and a bit of yellow.. I hope you like him!

Painting Raven Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I like him, especially the face. He looks older, haggard, and just righteous against evil! The armor has a good "lived in" look to it as well. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Froggy the Great Posted March 8, 2005 Moderator Share Posted March 8, 2005 Quite nifty. Post him on Reapergames? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelcore Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Really cool, Bakalla! He look's haggard, and his battle-worn armor is particularly cool. He's one of my favorite minis too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixminis Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Good detail to the eyes!!! I like the worn look he's got... sure hope he cleans his armour on a regular basis!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital M@ Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 Yep, love the feel of this guy. I can picture him leaning on his sword overlooking a field of fallen opponents, feeling conflicted from the joy of victory and the waste of life.

Ler Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 I'm a big fan of this sculpt too, it looks really cool, especially the unclean look on the armour, Never really liked seeing "film set factory finished" armour on everything. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourningcloud Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 you know dude, ive never been a fan of this mini; perhaps because ive never really liked any of the dozens of paint jobs ive seen on it: mostly either semi-expert nmm or (at the opposite end of the skill spectrum) strait out of the bottle metallics. i can honestly say that you have given it the treatment it deserves, and all of a sudden the character came to life for me. bravo-your well shaded and weathered metallics are awesome. 10 times than any of the nmm ive seen on him (and it was really good nmm, but in my humble opinion that just detracts from the characterfulness of the mini.)

mkh Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 I will add my comments to the hat. Very nice work on the metallics. I like a mini that is painted up well with metallic paints. Overall the mini looks very well done. Small critique would be to highlight your leather straps a bit more. They get a little lost in the weathering of the armor. Take this one for what its worth as I am more into the cartoony look of painting, but a little more black/brown lining of the armor and such would really make the individual pieces stand out more. Having said that if you do not do anything else to the mini, it looks very good on as it is now. Great job. Keep 'em coming. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
