Astoran Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 When I did my presentation someone asked me to post some pictures of my minis. I have now taken some pictures of my almost finished Grey Hunters and a Rhino. First of all the bases is obviously not done. I'm waiting for the turf stuff to be delivered. Then I need to varnish them with anti-shine. Second: my camera aint that hot so I'm having problems getting the minis in focus. These are the first minis I have painted in over 15 years so I am a bit rusty. Now feel free to tear me a new one with your criticism =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262193-first-done-models/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reichfaust Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 Looks like you haven't lost your charm in your 15-year hiatus. Good stuff! ;) What kind of bases are you going to be giving them?

Blacksad Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 booo!!! they're too beautifully done! honestly, focus and lightling isn't all that, but it seems like they're well prepared and nicely painted. Flesh to me seems a bit pale, and I'd have done the searchlight in a different color; (more yellow) but other than that, it seems legit.

Astoran Posted October 2, 2012 Author Share Posted October 2, 2012 What kind of bases are you going to be giving them? I'm going for a desert theme with sand, some small rocks and dead grass. Thanks for watching and your opinions guys =) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262193-first-done-models/#findComment-3193568 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for watching and your opinions guys =) Sand Wolves? Never heard or seen that done before, but definitely interesting. Reminds me of a fluff idea I had for a company of Space Wolves fighting in a 3rd Crusade style occupation of a desert Imperial holy world, like in Kingdom of Heaven. But definitely out of their comfort zone, though. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262193-first-done-models/#findComment-3194382 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beef Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Have these been dipped? If so they have come out rather well Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262193-first-done-models/#findComment-3197045 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forté Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Have these been dipped? If so they have come out rather well Was thinking the same. Never been a fan of dipping personally but do understand its merits. My only wonder is how are you going to bring the Rhino to the same standard? It looks to be sulking in the background saying quietly "what about me" Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262193-first-done-models/#findComment-3197187 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astoran Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 They have indeed been dipped and I have not forgotten about the rhino. This is the first time I have used dipping and I am rather satisfied with the result. It wont win any painting prices but I was going for minis that look good on a battlefield. And it saved me alot of time. It took me a hour for each model this way.

Freakiq Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 How are you going to shade the Rhino, whill that be dipped too? Turned out quite good for being dipped but they could use a matte coat as right now they look like they're covered in soy sauce. :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/262193-first-done-models/#findComment-3197493 Share on other sites More sharing options...
