Madzerker Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I actually painted something, although I am no Angorak. This is a copplestone Grenadier barbarian that I am using for my Vaniir in my world. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
demonelf3 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I am not a fan of the sculpt, but you did a nice job of it. It's very clean, though I have to say the axe blends are a bit rough. Good work all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whizard Hlavaz Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Nice clean paint, indeed. Nice work. Though I don't understand the sculpt's face. I like that base, too. What is the rock made of? Rock? Plaster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Wizard Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Hey, I'm lovin' that base. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixminis Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Found another picture of an inked figure that should clear up the face perspective: http://campaign-game-miniatures.0catch.com/gr-ba005.jpg ***edit*** perhaps some more woad like freehand? It took a few looks at the picture to catch that the eyes had woad/warpaint... (that is I had the same problem Whiz had until I found the figure out on the interweb) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good work all around. Weedhopper is still a fledgling in the nmm department...lol. I'm still trying to coerce him into using a wet pallet..hehe.

dargrin Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Though I don't understand the sculpt's face. Looks like the figure has a flesh turtleneck pulled over his face. Ya, I'm going to go with that. Base work is cool though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madzerker Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Yeah, I agree on the blade, it needs better blending, I will try to work on it some more, I was so worried about highlighting in the right spots I didn't spend enough time blending. This mini is kind of a wierd sculpt. I chose it because it looked the easiest of the barbarians and I have not painted for a while, but the anatomy on the chest/neck seems off. His face is facing up and to the side and his hair covers most of his eyes, so that is why it looks so wierd in the picture. The base is just a micro-art pre sculpted base, so I can not take any credit for that. I have gotten lazy on bases and been buying more and more presculpted ones. I prolly will add some more woad to the model as well, I decided to give them woad just to add some color to the models, otherwise they will get pretty blah once I have units painted up. I have always liked these sculpts and had not painted them since the 80's so it is fun to paint them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stink Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Difficult angle! I see it now though, the grey scale version helped. I saw a cyclops with no mouth and a blue sweat band at first....figured it was some weird race from some role playing game. Well done.

primeval Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Great to see a classic! Copplestone did a few figures in that line that had rather oafish features like this one, they were never my favorites but I appreciated the variety! Nice painting!
