He looks bloody good! I might have to try out this method. It can't be as simple as you make it look!

No man, it IS that simple. =) Between the previous post and the last I did:whiskey priest":1hj5tzzi said:
- drybrush Vallejo Tinny Tin on all metal
- drybrush Vallejo Boltgun Metal
- drybrush Citadel Mithril Metal
- wash the whole miniature in ample amounts of Devlan Mud
- drybrush metals with a little Mithril Metal
- highlight skin with flat base colour, then base colour + bleached bone
- highlight tunic with base colour and bleached bone
- pick out the eyes and teeth with bleached bone, dot with black.
- highlight black and grey pieces with black and bleached bone (one level)
And cheers Thants, you really should have a look at getting some. The details are soft (where are this guy's ears?!) at times, but good enough for the price. =)

Yeah mate, I'm glad to finally repay you with a painted example displayed on the internets! =) And once again, many thanks for the kind contribution to my attempts of ruining my son's chances with the ladies by grooming him to become a complete nerd.cheetor":29h3yt0f said:
I haven't decided where to go with the basing. My WHFB-based minis are a totally discrete sub-project so I won't use my ordinary basing recipe. I did the dwarfs with a light earth tone, black rims and a little static grass:
Since the hobgobs will go into a pool for creating direct opposition to the "good guys army" I want to do the base different enough for them to stand apart. I'm thinking dark gray with white highlights. Will see how that works out.

Oops - those Dwarves have just reminded me I haven't posted the ones I've had set aside for you for ages! There's also a spare Heroquest Dwarf if you wanted him for a champion.

Nice work Phreedh. I have been familiar with those models since I started playing WHFB in the early 90's and I ain't never in all that time seen one painted that well!

Id say that you would have managed fine at that by yourself Mattias. You arent pinning that one on me
Oh yeah, I meant to tell you that there was a copy of this and a receipt for a three year subscription in that last box of miniatures that you sent me. Ill get it in the post ASAP:
Meanwhile, Im off to sort my spare slotta bases by year of manufacture.
Aaaaanyway, those perfectly synchronised dwarfs still look good. I hope to see some Stilburg batreps again soon. I dont think that I ever saw that nice little roadsign before.

Cheers OVB, all too kind! It's funny what happens when one tries to be as quick about it as possible, eh? To tell the truth, I fantasized about painting other miniatures whilst painting these.theottovonbismark":1weforq9 said:
All too true... and part of that is probably my frame of reference. For instance, whenever I hear or see the word "anorak" my mind shouts "Dwayne Dibbley!".cheetor":1weforq9 said:Id say that you would have managed fine at that by yourself Mattias. You arent pinning that one on me
Ha, yes - me too! We haven't played a game in two years or something - unless we count the drunken stupor attempt a few months ago. I'll bug my cousin to see if he's up for it.cheetor":1weforq9 said:
The road sign have been around for ages btw, it's part of a forest stand. It can probably be spotted in several of my LPL entries or other scenic shots on the blog.

if someone can tell me how to post 'photo's (that aren't on the interweb), i`ll share my original idea for this, and the subsequent change of plan.

You'll need to upload your pics to a hosting website like photobucket or something similar. That'll allow you to copy the URL for the picture. When you make a post click on the image icon and it'll ask you to paste the URL in between the tags. You can also host the images on a blog if you've got one and do the same. Hope that helps.

I've now got my hands on the hobgoblins for this project (shown with Harboth and a C36 Hobgoblin for size reference) -
More waffling over on my blog.
I'm looking forward to getting started on these, although a bit unsure whether I can bring to life what's in my head. At least a week until I can get started on them, as I've orcs to finish first, so don't expect to see WIP any time soon

Agree with Chico (now I have to go scrub myself clean), but those are some awesome old school conversions. I especially love the marine in the back left corner!

Well apologies to the lovers of original form,
Spot the parts time

You have the body (scorpion with marine on top) and head (on top of Sergeant Centurius I believe) of a fiend there if you wanted to reunite them.
