mjacobson Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Do you have a thread with your Ashardalon work?I posted the final result of my WofA painting here:http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/45888-ks-inspired-painting-spree/?p=653140 There is no WIP thread for that one. Wow. Nice work. Also, your Drizz't work is equally impressive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badocter Posted December 23, 2012 Author Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Drow duelist. My first attempt at NMM. Watched a couple Girlpainting youtube of how to wet blend on the blade and NMM theory, and made a stab at trying it that I am pretty happy with. The sculpt is a bit warped on the rapier, but I figure to learn that another day. If anyone has a suggestion for straightening, I have two more of these duelists that have even more warpage on the rapier and I am willing to make them a learning opportunity. The girlpainting vid is linked below. Time index 17:36 is where she demonstrates the sword NMM and wet blending.

badocter Posted December 24, 2012 Author Share Posted December 24, 2012 The drider is coming along nicely as well. Still a few steps to go, the dullcoat being at least one of them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redambrosia Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Because of you i had to put all those board games on my amazon wishlist. All those minis for that price are just too good to pass up, especially the pack with the Dracolich. Way to go 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slash's work on Castle Ravenloft is very impressive: http://www.reapermini.com/forum/index.php?/topic/46923-first-time-painter-castle-ravenloft/?p=660703 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redambrosia Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Oh yes, Ravenloft is the one with the dracolich. Curse you and Slashhamster! I don't need any help making my mini wishlist longer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erifnogard Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 I really like the purple/grey/silver palette you used on these. Might do my Bones spider centaurs similarly. At any rare great paint jobs! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badocter Posted December 25, 2012 Author Share Posted December 25, 2012 Two duelists down, one to go. Armour was base coated with darkest purple I have (Reaper deep amethyst), then dry brushed with GW necron compound (silvery "dry" paint) then washed with purple and blue depending on the area. Duelist number three will have green blades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkeySloth Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Wow that dragon looks nice. Well done. I have to say these paint up better then I thought they ever would. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badocter Posted December 27, 2012 Author Share Posted December 27, 2012 Thanks. I have been likewise surprised that they have painted up so well for both this set and Wrath of Ashardalon. The sculpts are actually pretty good. Just completed Drizzt himself. Had to do a lttle surgery to separate the sword in his left hand from the back of the cape. It was cast as a single piece, so initially there was no space between the cape and the sword. which made the sword look rediculously deep. Could have painted it to hide that from one angle, but to get it to look right from all angles require digging with an exacto knife and dentist picks to create a gap behind the sword. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badocter Posted December 31, 2012 Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Two trolls and an insect swarm now done. I painted the insect swarm and one of the trolls and my 9 year old daughter painted the other troll. My challenge to you is to identify which one of us painted each troll. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
