Urian, Human Fighter Reaper DHL Metal 03104

[Nial ap Morai]

Super fun to paint, all Reaper Paints, the base is Vallejo- Sandy Paste with a Reaper sandy tan base coat and Minotaur hide wash.   The shoulder armor is powderburn brown with powderburn brown+drops of leather brown for highlights.   Really liked the armors color, I have been wanting to use that color.  Really happy with the eyes first mini in about 2 dozen whose eyes don’t looked like the guy was kicked in the side of the head by a horse. Shield looked spiffy too, which is key to any self respecting spartan

Very nice work! This fella is going on the wishlist for sure.

Thanks.  I’m gonna see if there are others that are similar.  I pinned the shield/hand to the arm. Superglue wouldn’t last by itself.  He’ll be on the table top in a week or so.   I didn’t pin the scabbard, hopefully it won’t handled

Nice. I like that powder burn brown armor.

Good job, the armor looks great!

He will return with his shield, not on it.

This is Sparta! Kicking A-holes down wells since 480BC…

He looks great!

Yeah...nice eyes. Painting eyes in those deep helmets is always extra-tricky. You did well. The armor and skin-tone also look great.
