So I intended to get some pictures of my older stuff this weekend, but remembered that I'd already photographed these vintage Dwarf Thunderers:

Thunderers.jpg


Eight of them are the old Marauder thunderers, the Musician is from the Marauder MB1 regiment, I'm not sure where the Champion is from, but I love the model, and the Standard Bearer and one more are the current plastics.

I'll have more to come soon, including some close ups of these guys.

Excellent work! 8-) those are some great looking thunderers. Some of the best marauder sculpts IMO.

Cheers,

Here are some close ups of the Thunderers and an old Hammerer (How I hate the "new" hammerers!) and an old Iron Breaker;

Here is an old school Keeper of Secrets and Champion of Slaanesh I painted about a decade ago. I had a bunch of the champions but I appear to have traded them off as I can't find them.

And finally, here are some old metal Night Goblins. I'm not really sure if these came out in 3rd or 4th edition, but either way, I think they are such great sculpts:

I love the Slaaneshi stuff. I've always had a soft spot for the original KoS. And mightily impressive dwarven beards too!

Finished this Ogre Captain last week:

I used pigments to do the mud at the base, not entirely happy with the way it came out. My idea was an Ogre Captain looking across the battlefield after victory and surveying the carnage. The pics are a bit washed out, but I think I might should have taken the highlights on the flesh further.

Great mini, great paint job.
I don't think it would hurt to give another highlight to the flesh.
But then the words 'gilding' and 'lily' spring to mind. :grin:

I do like that Ogre mini. You've done a really cool paint job on him there.

He has to be one of the two best Ogres citadel ever produced IMHO. The other being the original Skragg.

Re: Various Painted Stuff

Thanks, guys! It is amazing how the quality of the sculpt affects the paint job. I think that when they are this good, it just brings out your best work.

Re: Various Painted Stuff

You did that ogre justice! He's one I had wanted, but wasn't willing to fork over big $ for. Then he dropped into my lap in a lot of random figs! So he's on my to paint list.

BTW, move the camera back from the figure a little (increase the focal distance). You are getting a fish-eye effect. Also, as much as possible shine the light on the figure from the front to avoid backlighting. If you have to rely on overhead lights be sure they are above and in front, rather than directly above or above and behind.

He fell into my lap as well, I found him in the $1 used bin at my FLGS in undergrad.

I know all about the photo problems, used to be semi-pro ;) Unfortunately, I no longer have the equipment (stolen), the space (living in a major metro area), or the time (little kids) to have my photo area as I would like. Now, I mostly just have to grab two painting lamps that have long enough cords, slide stuff out of the way, and get a quick shot in a tiny lightbox. Excuses, excuses, amiright?
