VERY COOL! A nice mini & well painted; in my sometimes humble opinion, this is the BEST piece you've done so far. WELL DONE!

Hi all! sorry for being silent so long

A new update has arrived! some W.I.P. here and one finished model:

From left to right: Blunderbuss + sword 'n shield/buckler Crossbow Crossbow with sword 'n shield / buckler spear 'n buckler/shield

Enjoy!

They look great. The only thing that I think might make them better is to change the size of the basing material you are using. The rocks look huge with this smaller scale. I would suggest sand with only a few rocks thrown in.

well it's supposed to be debris that is lying on the ground in mordheim. the little bits of grass are to represent mordheim being left alone for ages.

But i do see your point, and will think more careful in the future thanks

New Update! Enjoy

This one I'd like to call "Samurai" (it looks pretty much as the guy from the movie "the last samurai")

That´s a really great idea here! I can imagine myself doing a similar project.

Do you already have some inspiration about the messuring problems? Will you use the basic inches for all ranges or will you do some math to scale the ranges down to your 1:72 scale? If it´s the latter one, I quess you can make a terrain in a box style of gaming table.

Hannibal

Good work again, Paluke! I really like the shading on this one.

When can we expect to see some non-humans?

Thanks guys

@ hannibal:

The measuring will be tile-based. like a chessboard, but a little more complicated. so no need to measure, just count squares. (i know this has downsides, but it makes it all less complicated overall )

@ eliazar:

I need to paint 6 more. Then the orcs will be painted

another miniature done! Progress now @ 19/24

Enjoy:

Are you going to make a tiny board to play them with as well? I guess width/length 2-2.5, with smaller buildings and stuff?

@chad conan is nowhere near as cool as cuchulainn. If you've ever read At Swim Two Birds you'll know what I'm talking about. My favorite descriptions of Cuchulainn. Conan is the censored american version of cuchulainn, unfortunately.

Perhaps with smaller terrain but at this size instead of town square + assorted buildings to can get a nice sized town or hamlet on a standard board.
(Like when people played Inquisitor with 28mm minis)

New update! Model 20/24!

Cool model!

It's a bit on the shiny side again, though, which lets the armour and the leather (at least I guess it's both metal and non-metal stuff she's wearing?) melt into each other. Apart from that well done again! I'm looking forward to a group shot of all of them

cheers eliazar it's just one big bronze metal suit, no leather here i'm doing my last 4 guys, they are from the american civil war. they have flintlock pistol(s) and rifles !

The shinyness. dunno why it does that :O it is the wash for some reason... i don't really mind it though..

do you have or anyone else have this experience with devlan mud wash? or is it just my magically brushing technique that makes it so shiny

Ah, alright then

I don't get this shininess with Devlan Mud, all the warm whites of my pirate crew were done with a layer of devlan mud before the highlights, but it never shone at all

But as long as you don't mind, it's not a problem anyway One thing you could do to counter the effect is brushing on some matte varnish, I suppose.

Mini 21 out of 24! The end is Near!!!!

I present you miniature 22/24!

perhaps i'm taking too long to post.. or the mini's are all similar that no one posts

anyway, i'm heading to a final finish with the humans soon! 2 more to go then basing! Brace yourself for a few pics for the complete gallery when it happens

anyway... here is:

Miniature 22!!!
