Ral Partha Thumper Standard Bearer

[72moonglum]

Hello all you Reaper Acolytes!

 

So painted this one as a gift for a friend, now that she's got it, can finally show it off:

 

 

A Thumper Standard Bearer,  I think sculpted by Richard Kerr.  

 

It was so hard not go go all crazy Easter Bunny on this one, so added a few Easter eggs, quite literally.  Hopefully his banner is legible!

 

After listening quite often and watching Anne Forester's Twitch channel, one great tip she gave was to start with your free hand using a white base instead of black.  I did so this time, so hopefully the banner text and the belt are a bit brighter than they otherwise would have been had I used a black base color.  

 

Anyhoos, enjoy and a premature Happy Easter to all!

Lovely, vibrant colors on this piece! And that banner is just great, the freehand especially.

Thanks! But can you read the banner?

Yay! It’s legible! I was kind of worried. I can read it, but I wrote it. Thanks for confirming!

Hop to it! Your browns are perfect. And the free hand is nice and sharp.

Fantastic paint job! As mentioned, the banner is quite legible; I saw it right away.

Very cool figure, too. I had several of these minis back in the day, but i foolishly traded them away for some other minis.

Probably traded away for some new-fangled mini from the 21st century….

Yeah, my recent figures have been a little bit on the bizarre side, whales, squids, chickenasaurus….
