Warjacks and Trolls July 25, 2010 at 1:57 pm

A collection of my latest mini projects.  A couple warjacks and a troll.  The trollup is just there for scale.  The blue warjack is my wife’s eidolon for her summoner character.  I imagine Warmachine purists will cringe seeing how I used non-standard colors…  I have my own ideas of colors though.

Troll Repose March 22, 2010 at 10:45 pm

Did a bit of work with the dremel, some green stuff, and re-posed both of my trolls.  The first is a pretty big change with the stance, the second is just a more subtle tweak of the one hand to turn it sideways.  

Gnome Sorcerer Mini – Fofix March 7, 2010 at 12:53 am

Hope you enjoy Fofix, my latest and maybe best mini paint yet. He is a gnome sorcerer if you can’t tell.

Now that I’m done painting him I see all the flaws under the critical eye of the macro lens. I like the way the hair came out and I am reasonably content with the eyes. The little tiny details like that are tough for me; maybe I should invest in some finer brushes. The flames look reasonably cool and were one of the appeals of this particular mini but there is some wonkiness in the way the paint came out. Probably the biggest issue with him is the fact that I didn’t clean the mold lines before painting.

Expirimenting with a New Technique February 19, 2010 at 3:48 pm

A friend suggested that using a light primer with a darker wash would provide some good contrast to help bring out details early in the painting process. Most of my minis I’ve painted using a dark green, gray or black base so this is a bit of an experiment. Here are the results.

Overall I have to say it looks like it’s going to be a lot easier to grab the details out. I picked the green because I’m going to try and keep that color in the dark parts of the mini for a sort of sickly look.

Wulf Minis February 18, 2010 at 3:08 pm

A set of wolves which I traded for. I showed two previously, this is the rest of the set and a group shot. The idea is to have 5 wolves, 3 I can use as Winter Wolves, 3 I can use as hell hounds, and 3 I can use as normal (dire) wolves, so the normal ones get triple duty :)

Hell HoundI just finished a big batch of minis the other day.  They were done in a big batch so none of them are super high quality but they will be a nice addition to the table.  This guy here was one of my favorites, my attempt at a Hell Hound.  Check out the whole batch…
