Dwarf Fence #2

2016-10-07
On: 2016-10-07

Tagged: Dwarfs, Scenery, Warhammer

Since I wasn’t able to prime the minis I want to next paint, I had this primed from long ago and went ahead & painted it. It’s the same fence model as I’ve previously done, only this time I’ve got more skill and more techniques under my belt. This time, it came out a lot better; at least, it’s much more evocative of the look & feel I was going for originally. The posts look much more like concrete/stone, the toppers are a more weather-worn bronze look, I cleaned up details on the mug, shield, pouch, and pipe… Overall a much better looking fence, inRead More →

Dwarf Slayer – Then & Now: A Comparison

Tagged: Dwarfs, Painting, Slayer, Warhammer

Now that I have two of an identical model, painted over a year apart – I thought it would be neat to do a side-by-side comparison of the two and evaluate how my painting skills are progressing (or not). In both April of 2015, and August of 2016 I painted this version of the Dwarf Slayer. Old one on the left, new one on the right: For some reason, the left eye on both of them are a bit wonky… Other observations — The skin looks a bit better now. The contrast on the metal is better & clearer. The hair is significantly brighter andRead More →

Dwarf Slayers – Group Photo

And here is the group of three Dwarf Slayers I painted together. Groups of three are nice – Enough time for paint to dry between colors, but no so much painting at once that I burn out on the models or colors during the process. Yes, I know this isn’t a “full” Unit, but now with the already-painted Slayers I have enough for a full unit of them!Read More →

Dwarf Slayer #5 – Duplicate Slayer

2016-08-24
On: 2016-08-24

Tagged: Dwarfs, Slayer, Warhammer

This is another copy of the Dwarf Slayer #1, from the Battle for Skull Pass box set. Tomorrow will be a post on this recent set of 3 completed Slayers.For this slayer I used a Yellow wash instead of an Orange wash on the hair, so it’s slightly brighter than the other two Slayers in the set. This is a plastic model, whereas the other two Slayers in this set are the older metal Slayer models. I bought a slew of the Dwarf Slayers in metal from another player at the local game store back when I started playing Warhammer, thinking I might do a Slayer-focusedRead More →

Dwarf Slayer #3 – Slayer Musician

Back to the Dwarfs, I did some Slayers. This is a Musician for the Slayer unit(s). These Slayer paint jobs (that will be posed over the next few days) came together surprisingly quickly!Read More →

Dwarf Thunderers Unit – Santa Shooters!

Tagged: Dwarfs, Thunderer, Unit, Warhammer

And here are all of the Santa Shooters I completed in this most recent batch! You can probably see why I got tired of doing this massive set of dwarfs. So here they are, finally, complete (or rather, as complete as I’m going go with them). Finally, on to something new!Read More →

Dwarf Thunderer #16 – Veteran Santa B

2016-08-13
On: 2016-08-13

Tagged: Command, Dwarfs, Thunderer, Veteran, Warhammer

And, FINALLY, the LAST — yes, the very last — of the single-model Dwarf Santa Shooter posts! Phew. And just to reiterate, this is the last time I’ll do a batch of this many of the same model/type at the same time. It was trying to get through them all, and trying to get through posting them all. All around a poor experience for me. So — In the future, I really think I’m going to limit myself to a maximum of 5 at a time. This will get hard when I get into the Skaven clanrat masses, but it’ll probably still work as I’llRead More →

Dwarf Thunderer #15 – Veteran Santa A

Only the veterans and the completed unit remain! Here’s the Salt & Pepper Bearded Veteran. Would look pretty good with some pupils, probably…Read More →

Dwarf Thunderer #14 – Blonde Bearer

2016-08-11
On: 2016-08-11

Tagged: Command, Dwarfs, Standard, Thunderer, Warhammer

Here’s the other Standard Bearer for the Santa Shooters! I meant to do the alternate color on the shield & shield graphic, but didn’t realize I’d duplicated it until I was on the 2nd or 3rd layer… So they are the same except for the beards. *shrug*Read More →

Dwarf Thunderer #13 – Salt & Pepper Bearer

2016-08-10
On: 2016-08-10
In: Dwarfs, Models
Tagged: Command, Dwarfs, Standard, Thunderer, Warhammer

Here is the salt & pepper bearded Standard Bearer for the Santa Shooters. I have one blonde bearded Command group and one grey/salt & pepper bearded Command group. I could have done much better with the details & highlighting on these guys, but in making the mistake of trying to do over 15 at once I burnt myself out on the models and the color scheme. By the time I got to the edging/highlighting layers, I was toast and missed a lot of areas that could have made these models look a lot better. Lesson learned, don’t do more than 5-10 models at once. ThoughRead More →
