Barden Barrelstrap (77383) & Thain Grimthron (77213) Dwarf Clerics (Bones)

[Chris Palmer]

 This week I finished up two of the Bones 2 Kickstarter dwarf cleric figures: Barden Barrelstrap from the Dragons Don't Share set, and Thain Grimthorn from the Original Core set.   I paired them up as being ideal to fill the roles of a Thaumaturge wizard and his Apprentice for my Frostgrave collection.  And, since I wanted them to be dressed similarly, I figured I would paint them both at the same time. 

     I had the idea that they would be followers of the twin gods of metal: Argent and Aur.  So, I decided to paint them in yellow and white as the symbolic colors of their gods.  Nothing fancy, just tabletop paint jobs.

 

As always, C & C welcome.

Oh wow, I love these. They look perfectly at home in the snow. Lots of personality!

[Glitterwolf]

Well painted!

 

I like the golds.

very nice,  the colors clearly tie them togeaher 

but the white cloak could use more blending

[Skrill]

Gold, Steel and Snow look great together.

Nice job!

They look like they belong together.  They should make for a very unique wizard and apprentice in your Frostgrave games.  Well done!  Are you going to have all dwarves for this group?

The Vertically Challenged Ones look TERRIFIC...GREAT brushwork, bases, & choice of colors. OUTSTANDING WORK!

Yes, you're right; though in my defense, it doesn't look that bad in person. Its incredible how the camera finds all problems. :)  Since it's just for tabletop use, and will seldom be viewed from closer than 3 or 4 feet, I'm content to let it pass.

Thats a good question.  I haven't really gone for one-race or matching-color-clothes types of warbands before, so this is a new direction for me.   It might be fun to do all dwarf, the problem being I don't think I have enough suitable dwarf figures left to paint! :(

Something about all that gold. I like it!

Until I go to the online store and order more!

FTFY!

 

Dang Ub3r really is rubbing off on me....

Excellent dwarves!  I think a dwarven warband would be quite fantastic, and since you don't tend to go with all of your warband figures in matching attire, maybe you actually don't need more dwarven minis, you just need to peruse what you already have?

[Chaoswolf]

Excellent job on them! I think they look very good in lighter colors.

Well painted!

 

I like the golds.

And I like the white!
