Ral Partha Legacy Troglodyte Sorcerer, sculpted by Tom Meier

[72moonglum]

Hello everybody on the penultimate day of the Reaper Bones 6 Kickstarter!

 

So here's another figure I've been sitting on for a while, painted it I think already a couple years back but never posted or showed it off because he wasn't yet available.  Well he was recently released over at Ral Partha Legacy, so it's time to show him off!

 

 

 

Back in the eighties, if I recall correctly, Tom Meier sculpted a whole bunch of troglodytes, I think with the Ral Partha/Citadel collaboration back then, and when Ral Partha Legacy had one of their Kickstarters, they re-released those older figures.  A little bit later Tom Meier sculpted this little fellow up, a sorcerer/priest/leader for whatever group of trogs you might end up gathering.  He has a pretty long base so he got stuck on one of their mount bases.  

 

and kind of funny, now that I start thinking about it, I've been using the only other Partha Troglodyte that I've painted as my avatar:

 

 

I might want to change that, I don't feel like an ugly lizard.......

Great job...the robe, in particular, is absolutely amazing. Excellent job transitioning between the darker and lighter skins, too.

Thanks Grand Slam, still trying to figure out how I actually do this. I'm working with some minis right now where most of the skin is grey, but the stomach and understide is more white. We'll have to see if my technique keeps working!

Very nice. I like the way you utilized the lighter under belly color to make the orange pop.

Thanks KruleBear!  Trying to make them look a little more natural instead of just a single color. I was watching Anne work on Chaarandor on the Reaper Twitch channel, and she was doing some great stuff mixing different colors and making it look really natural, greens and blues.

What a dynamic sculpt with excellent scale patterning! Love how you've painted the sussurous sorcerous saurus. 

I think the profile pic trog looks great too fwiw, but sometimes the time for change comes around.

Great job!

Great job on the old lizard!

I particularly like the different skin (scale?) tones.

Just need to figure out what to update it to! I remember it was extremely hard to update years ago. Maybe this time it will be easier.

Thanks Chaoswolf!  Hopefully more than one skin color makes it a little more natural.

Inspiring! Really like the sculpt and you've brought it to life with the color patterning on the skin and the wonderful grey of the robe

72Moonglum,

 

I love the piece.  You said you thought you Avartar and this piece were from  Ral Partha/Citadel.  I may have to track them down.  As always your paint job on these classics are impressive.
