Skavenblight's Hired Swords [and Dramatis Personae too]

Next mini... I'm not really happy with pictures, tomorrow I will maybe have some photos made with some better lighting.

This is beasthunter. I know that the difference between the original mini and my mini is huge, but the picture in Empire in Flames inspired me more than that mini from Mordheim

Stunning, absolutely stunning.

The Lad has ONE nasty looking scar; seems appropriate, as he's ONE nasty piece of work. VERY COOL MINI! REALLY nice paint job on an EXCELLENT conversion. He's not as feral as the original GW piece, but fits nicely into the role. AND red IS my favorite color. As always WELL DONE!

He looks so nasty.

I like Walther. That is a great model.

WOOHOO! Great mini! The scar is awesome and the paintwork is superb. Great job.

That's pretty damn grim! What are the parts? (unless it's a trade secret!)

Axes from Empire militia, beastman head from beastmen, hunter's head is from Empire (I'm not sure but I think it's from handgunners sprue - it had hair once, but I removed them and sculpted ears btw). The body is from Bretonnia... that's all

I spent a few spare minutes admiring your work last week, just never made time to post. I have time today and so after posting on another artists warband thread (sponsored by an infamous brand) it's only fair that I came back here to lay praise where it is due.

I enjoyed your alternative Beast Hunter conversion a lot and by far my favourite stuff showcased was your Kislev warband! Those kvas swilling rogues are so beautifully painted. I'd love to see a few more characterful Kislevites converted to add to that splendid project. The ogre looks really superb in there. Great to see him being set upon by a Warhammer Quest spider!

Top job lady.

Regards,

Werekin.

Excellent painting and conversion - it's nice to see a different version of this guy, as I've never liked the original GW model!

What's next?

too nice really looks great

Next hired sword - elf ranger.
Maybe I will need her for my new Averlander warband.


And this is assassin adept, painted for a friend... maybe not hired sword, but I didn't want to make another thread for these Skaven (they're not really good, I mean: I only had to paint them and I had no influence on conversions... I don't really like them.).
The base is also made by friend!

I don't know, that Skaven looks pretty good to me!

The elf ranger is also cool - very nice cloak! What range is the mini from?

That Skaven, because it's a metal model. I meant the plastic models which my friend has converted... or tried to convert them

It's a Reaper mini...
The cloak is the worst sculpted cloak I've ever seen - and it was difficult to paint it and make look better.

Well, if you REALLY don't like the Skaven...WHAT A GOD AWFUL[ly good ] MINI!

My friend, Sandy, was the one who sculpted the Elf Chick for Reaper; she'd LOVE the way you did her up. WELL DONE, Woman!

This suff just gets better and better!

Oooooh what a sexy, colourful lot of figures!

I like you're work! Nice choice of characterful models.

Can't wait to see more of you're work!

You know this man - it's Ulli Leitpold. I LOVE this mini... I wish he was a real man But as a mini, he's still very nice and it was nice to paint him
I'm painting Marquand now, so Ulli will not wait long for his friend...

Excellent!

Very inspiring work.

Cool! His skin is awesome!

And he looks like he looks like he's about to smash his huge hammer right into your face, which fits his background nicely (if I remember his fluff correctly).

I AGREE! There IS something not-so-vaguely psychotic about the man, AND the WONDERFUL paint job ONLY enhances this quality. VERY COOL & VERY WELL DONE, M'Lady! I can hardly wait to see his partner in crime in living color [so get cracking, Girl ]

Smashing! and strangely christmass-y...

I haven't finished Marquand yet, but I've found some time to upload pics of my Aenur.
It was a very hard work Only cloak was painted over 3 hours... But I like the effect! And it's really easy to paint this mini - only, it takes much time

The cloak may have taken some time.but it WAS time well spent; a Dramatis Personae indeed. VERY WELL DONE! BRAVO!

Thanks Nala
I'm pretty happy with this freehand; I had to paint it twice, the first time it didn't look so nice.

I try finish Marquand now, but I have to paint 3 warbands at once - I have too many minis. I didn't think it's possible
