Gareson Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Cobb is joining my Fulumbar and Halbarad in my small but growing collection of painted Reaper minis(I have too many unpainted ones to think about!). At first I leaned towards replacing the giant shield with something that didn't conceal so much of the mini but in the end I decided I liked the unique look it gave him(and I would have felt guilty deviating from the great vision of the likes of Jason Wiebe). I hope you like him... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beowulfthehunter Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The crystals on the base are a nice touch. I like what you did with this guy. My only issue is the holes in his shield. They look too perfect, perhaps scorring them out might work a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferox Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Nice job! The crystals on the base and the hint of OSL on the sword are great little details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercius Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Love it...always love a Wiebe dwarf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareson Posted September 14, 2011 Author Share Posted September 14, 2011 always love a Wiebe dwarf! Same here. Recently I've moved beyond just painting Privateer Press stuff to Reaper and other fantasy minis. I've noticed that a lot of the dwarves(such as by Red Box, Hasselfree, Valiant) are a lot smaller than Reaper's...I much prefer the bigger ones(especially for painting faces!!!).

GwydionGreen Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Great Job on Cobb :) the big shield, of course, is intended to block almost an entire mining tunnel from hideous underground foes. When on the surface, it provides an extra measure of shade for the dark-adapted miner's eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
