One Miniature, Two Color Schemes, Part 2
OK, here is the second Asurmen figure. What a difference an alternate color scheme can make. I realize that this is stating the obvious, but sometimes seeing it in this manner can make you more interested in pushing the boundaries of color when considering a scheme for an army.
No doubt, this will be the theme for my someday Eldar army! :-)

One miniature, two color schemes: Part One
OK, I have 2 Asurmen figures that I have painted in the last few years. This vesrion is a very traditional color scheme, pretty much straight out of the book. In 3-4 hours, I will post the same character again, but painted in an entirely different set of colors.
It is always fun so try the same miniature in such radically different ways!
Now for the 'traditional' Asurmen:

Dark Elves by Gamezone
Here are the infantry versions of the Gamezone Dark Elves. I think I have already posted images of the cold one riders (will have to check). There are crossbowmen as well.
More Pre Heresy Imperial Fists
This batch is from the third tactical squad of Pre Heresy Imperial Fists marines:
What happens when the lights go out...
Since it is pushing 5am and I am still painting, I decided it was time to post these images.
As recently as a few years ago, it was quite common for our electricity cut out, sometimes for days. Storms would really be bad for keeping the lights on!
That caused a bit of an issue in keeping the line moving on painting. There were a number of occasions when I painted 2D art by candle or lamp light.
Here is an example of doing the same thing with miniatures!
It got pretty toasty, to be sure, since it was the dead of summer, with not even a fan to move the air. Surrounded by candles was less helpful for keeping cool as well.
For those who are familiar with our Road Show, they are used to seeing me hauling case after case into a given location to set up the mobile studio. This is my set up in the hotel room at Adepticon last year.
I have been asked many times how I get such a horrific number of minis painted in such little time. This hidden camera photo is from a Chuck Goudy ABC news probe investigation...
