dks Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Here are the three Dwarf Shieldmaidens (Warlord figures) that I recently painted. I sculpted them last summer, starting at ReaperCon, and Cheryl (ladystorm) gave me advice and encouragement along the way. She asked for a helmet on one, for example, so I added it. The painted figures were commissioned for her birthday (yesterday), as a gift from her very thoughtful husband. Paints were all Reaper Master Series. The colors were inspired by a painting in the "Art of Star Wars Episode II" book. The shields and weapons are cast as separate pieces, allowing some variation within a unit, so I sculpted straps and handles after I attached the shields. Ladystorm said she likes them a lot. Hope you do too. Derek 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decado Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Those are some awesome looking minis. These are the first painted versions I have seen and they have changed the really poor opinion I had of the sculpts. Maybe my Freja wont have to lead a unit of swiftaxes afterall.
