Shield 'n Sword

Yes, another Reaper mini, which was just instant purchased on Ebay moments ago... that was cool! :-)

Just like the previous miniature, I did the 'light glaze' technique, which is basically an opaque light colored glaze into midtones and even shadow areas.

The idea is to create a greyed down shade that is semi-transparent.  I do this a lot on the Kickstarter videos... especially those concerning skin tones!

I also did something similar on the metals as well.  This created some nice muted reflections in some areas.

It Takes a Thief

Here's a fun mini from Reaper that I have painted three times, I think.

This time around, it was not too elaborate.  I just wanted to test out a few little techniques on the flesh tones, using 'light washes' of glaze colors mixed with what would be considered highlight colors.

I like doing these light washes, since they give the skin a different feel than the surrounding surfaces such as the hair, etc.

Time for Elevenzies!

Another member of the Ratling squad!  This time, he's on one of the conduit style bases that I made years ago for my original Demonhunter's army.

Looks like he's just had himself some KFC.

He's on ebay right now, along with the rest of the gang:

Hungry for second breakfast?

Here's the second little guy.  Little guys with big guns.

I was soooo tempted to make his cloak one of those checkered red tablecloths! :-)

Aw Rats...

Sorry this is late, folks.  Dead computers, Lots of craziness.  Had to fin d a machine that would let me install Photoshop 7.0, etc.

These guys have been waiting for a while for paint, and now they have it!

This is the first from a unit of 5 Ratlings.  They really do have a lot of character for little guys.

It was a little difficult to prep these guys, since they were one big hunk of metal.  In way I am glad that they are, since it makes the little buggers very strong!!!!

Hand into fist

One more time!  I think you can see the weathering a little better on this guy.  It had to be done, since there were so many casting issues!

Even with lots of resculpting, there was just too much to attempt a 'pristine' painting job on these terminators.

That priest is a beast

I have not painted many Beastmen at all over the years, with the exception of some Blood Bowl minis.  Heck, I have painted many more Gnolls than beastmen. :-)

So, this was a fun piece to try.

I wanted to juxtapose a little hint of muted reds against some greyed down, blueish greens.  That is a little more evident in the back views.
