As the title suggests, I painted a dwarf.
A single,
lonely,
plain 'ol dwarf.
|
The finished dwarf. |
This is odd since I had no true desire to paint any other dwarves, just had the urge to do this one. And more for a reference guide for myself I took pics of every stage of the painting. In case I actually do get the urge to do the whole army, I can look back on this post in case I forget what color-scheme I used.
|
Stage one. Base Coat. Dark Brown, Dark Angels Green, Tin Bitz, Delta Creamcoat Metallic Pewter ( I love this color!) |
|
Stage two: Dwarf flesh, a dark green from the original Epic paint set, Hammered Copper from Game Color, and Calthan Brown Citadel Foundation (beard). |
|
Stage three: Original Citadel Woodland Green, Ral Partha Copper Metallic (amazing that this is still good), and bronzed flesh. |
|
Stage four: Burnished Gold highlights, bleached bone and white for the eyes, and brown ink to pick out the beard , |
|
Final stage: Bolt gun metal on axe edge, Khemri brown foundation paint on the beard, a bit more burnished gold., |
Any to not keep out fella from feeling totally purposeless while I take the next while here contemplating whether or not I want to paint any more dwaves, I decided to give him a piece of the King's Wall (It should've been called the
King's Rope Fence or something as it is hardly a wall).
|
Tin bitz on the metals, the darkest grey I could find in my collection for the stone. |
|
A lighter gray. And a thinned Patina by Folk Art on the metal. |
|
Tin Bitz mixed with shining gold for highlights on the helms, |
|
Add flock, and done with both miniatures. |
Honestly, I must confess to you, I really only painted these two models as a study for
these guys!:
I didn't want to just
randomly paint all that dwarf debris, now did I?
...Stay tuned!
Can I have him? He'll go with the 2-3 dwarves that I already have for my skaven slaves regiment!
ReplyDeleteHa! You'll have to take him in battle!
ReplyDeleteSo...considering the odds of him ever seeing battle, I'm taking that as a 'No'.
