FreeFall Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I promised all those going to Nukecon a sneak peek at the minis I painted for tournament prizes. The winner of the Warlord tournament at the Con takes ll six of these babies home with em. Believe me, I'm parting with them with a great gnashing of teeth, and the winner may have to pry them from my fingers. This is the Lupine Lord... This is the Lupine Shaman...

FreeFall Posted September 22, 2005 Author Share Posted September 22, 2005 I just moved em to my site. Try again. These are the Ragers... And Finally, one big happy family... All this can be yours, if you can win the tournament, knock me over the head, and run fast enough so I don't catch you and take them back!

Frankthedm Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Cool, me likey! Those paintjobs make me want to howl with delight. I especially like the leader's metal armour plates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubilee Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Lovely work! I would have a hard time parting with them all, too. /ali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Uh oh, I feel shiny object syndrome kicking in. Nice work on all that fur. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawgiver Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 The variety in fur is cool. Helps keep track of minis on the table. I really like the Lupine Lord Good flocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dewen Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 I love the gold and silver plates on the Lupine Lord. The variety if fur color is neat too. Makes we want to get mine primed and painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep_sashelas Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Those are six beautiful werewolves (hem, I mean, lupines). And they look even cooler all together. Nice job on the furs and the arm posture of the ragers, they look distinct but united in color scheme, and would work really well for a merc lupine company. ...Rowwwr, now I definitely feel shiny object syndrome myself too.

Dancin'Debby Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 That is an AWESOME prize package you've painted up there! Makes me want to come play in your tourney (not that I'd have a chance of ever winning) debby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stubbdog Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Very nice prize package there. Wish I stood a chance of winning them. I am playing in the tourney, but realistically with my level of experience, I will just be happy to make a good game of it for my opponents.

Darkstar Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Nice looking group. I forgot that Reaper makes these very "Rackhamesque" minis. The winner should definately be pretty stoked, that's a great prize package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The muscles and cleavage of the wolfen are fine for furverts, but give me Reaper's Lupines anyday. Truely a wonderful set of minis to use for a Werewolf:Dark Ages game.

Makes me want to come play in your tourney (not that I'd have a chance of ever winning) debby Well that was the general idea. Seriously, this isn't something you'll see me doing every convention. Since Matt is coming up as a Guest of Honor though, we wanted to do something special. And believe me, the thought of passing off the tournament to one of the other Black Lighting guys to run so I can play for keeps has crossed my mind, but no I have to unselfish. Thanks for all the comments folks, I appreciate them. Even with the time crunch I was under, these minis were an absolute joy to paint. I guess parting with them is a little easier becasue I have no qualms about painting these figures again. The detail on them is awesome, but it's not so over crowded as to be tedious. A few of you mentioned the variations int he fur. When I started looking at wolf photos I noticed a wide variety of coloration, even amongst members of the same pack, and that no two were a like and rarely all one color. So I tried to make them all unique. There are two that look the same in the picture, but they are actually very different. The coloration is subtle because they are the same base color scheme, but one is primarily dark, the other primarily light. The back photos show this more prominently. If you've never painted these figs, do it. They are a blast to work on because you can do so much with them without killing yourself. As a side note, each Rager has between 20-24 different MSP's used on each one. Most of the furs used 6 different colors in layers and blends. The armor is layered metalics: Shadowed Steel Base, Blue Liner wash/glaze, Layers of Shadowed Steel, Honed Steel, Polished Silver, studes done Ancient Bronze with New Gold Highlights. The armor is what I used to make them all look like a unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
