Very lovely work- all of 'em! The beards are beautifully done on the swordsmen.

Aye, the gambling trio is really well done, I dig how their bases interlock

Gotta say, leaving pewter weapons unpainted is a pretty big-brained move! The sheen is quite nice indeed.

Thank you! Nifty bases indeed.

Thank you. Those old-school swordsmen sculpt style, to me, are strait out of Conan.

DWARVEN BREWMEISTER AND PATRONS (4) SKU 30139
Very good and crispy sculps made just for painting, these where fun to work on!

TOWNSFOLK: DWARVEN RIVERBOAT PILOT SKU: 30145
A bit "flat" and "clumped", but super easy to paint up. Nice addition to the Brewmiester buddies.

Glad you got your camera together, these are some awesome sculpts with cracking paint jobs. The mounted mage is probably my favourite, probably because of the shaggy pony!

Thank you sir. Yes, camera is a bit of an investment, but I am blessed to be in a position to be able to afford it.

DWARF - DERN IRONFIST 02274
Another classic model, fun and easy to paint..



DWARF - KNURL HAMMERSON 02162
Classic reaper dwarf, good and solid mini.

Great paint jobs mothsniper! The reaper range really does have some varied body shapes for dwarfs, these guys look quite malnourished for dwarfs. Must still be pretty strong still to carry such big weapons tho!

Indeed! I like to think of these old-school-dwarfs to be from the Conan universe lolz. They have that "DragonLance" high-fantasy vibes.

Changing up the background drop and lighting set up.

DWARF - DORN IRONSPIKE 30089
Fun model to paint up, great detail, good sculpt. Wanted cooler skin tone variant for this lad.


Making things harder for me self as usual. Decided to add deep/bloodstone gnomes to this project.
I will be adding the Dark Dwarves later on, and it made sense thematically to add the dark gnomes to the dark dwarves force.

GOME - DEEP GNOME HEROES (2) 30062
Accidently purchased doubles get a conversion. Took a minute to land on the color for the skin and happy the way it turned out, especially with the magenta lanterns and the "dark" weapons.



GOME - BLOODSTONE GNOME WARLOCK HEROES (2) 44048
I am not good at these, the chunky bits are hard for me to paint and to tell where one thing ends and other begins. Lost shield for the spear guy.
I do not know if something is wrong with the sculpting or the molding or my eyes, I could not "see" the bloodstone models very well.




GOME - BLOODSTONE GNOME CAVALRY BARBARIAN 44055
This one was quite frustrating for me. I got lost in the mold-lines, chunky bits, skin, doodads, details. I was tempted to cover the qhole model in (TrueBlood from GreenStuffWorld) but ended up just giving up on it. Its done, moving on.

Those gnomes are a funny looking bunch, great paint jobs though.

Mothsniper,

They look good to me. Resin can always be a little bit of a challenge to paint on small models.

Cheers,

CB

Gobert and Capitan Brown thank you guys!

Broke up remaining reaper models I have on hand into groups of 3 by "theme" These 3 suppose to be all brown-ish from the Barrens.

GOME - GULLIVAR GNOME BARBARIAN 02942
Gnome, dwarf, what's the difference when you are out in the wastelands.
Good model, easy to paint, however have to admit that the sculp is a bit outdated. Painted the eyes looking to the right, unfortunately can't really see that in the pictures.


DWARF - ASGEIR REDBEARD 02971
Also, good and easy to paint, and a bit outdated.


DWARF - THANE GRIMTHORN 02472
Good model, was a bit challenging to paint the undercuts for me. I do like how the eyes came out, he is ether looking at a giant, or at a very tall tower with many stairs.


DWARF - DREADMERE REEVE IRREMBORG PLANOMAT 44019
Good sculp, however he doesn't really look like a dwarf. The details on the cape and the cuffs are very subtle, and I couldn't wash them in any reasonable manner. And was not exited enough to paint every thread by hand.
Did not even bother with the collar or the eyes. Moving on.

Nice dwarfs mothsniper. That last lad is very fancy!

Next set of 3 are strange, and thus grouped into a team.

DWARF - SPIKE THE WARMASTER 02383
Wild color scheme for a Wild guy! nothing more to mention here. Although, if I ever get my hands on a second Spike, I will file down all the spikes and make them actually sharp


DWARF - ODUM RUMBLEBEARD DWARF WIZARD 02707
Good sculp, not too difficult to paint. Dwarfs do not have wizards! He is clearly cosplaying it.



DWARF - BRAG IRONBALLS 02376
Yes, don't mess with his ballz! Yo mama knows... I am sorry.
The sculpt is a bit outdated, not the best. I had more trouble painting him than the wizard dwarf.

Next 3 are the "Noble" dwarfs

DWARF - NORRIN SILVERBEARD 02503
OMG, I just realized that I painted the (silver-beard) on a wrong guy
Good sculpt with a character, was fun and easy to paint.


DWARF - DWARF CLERIC GRAYRUNE 02601
Decent sculpt, good mini.



DWARF - DERN IRONFIST 02661
Good sculpt, decent model.

Next 3 are grouped into an axe-gang.
Super glue and baking soda for the bear cav base. Holes drilled in each base section too for the greenstuff putty.

Started on one a whiiiile back but never finished it because this is a weird and goofy model for a Dwarf, and a Witchhunter.
It is large, beardless (goatee doesn't count as a beard), wide-faced, with a wizard scepter and a pirate cutlas. Do not like it.
Then, I am sorting my reaper packs and discover that I must have bought 2 more of this same model, at different times, so, I have 3.
Perfect conversion opportunity, because this guy sucks!

Here is the 1



Other 2 (put 2 into one pack, they don't sell in 2)



I shall not stand for a occult staff or scepter on a Witch Hunter! Found this bit from an old pin-vice to replace the abomination with something steam-punky.



Drilled the face for putty to anchor in because the man needs a beard, cutlass has to go, and the shield/crossbow seem appropriate.

Nice conversion! Definitely punches up what is as you say a kinda bland dwarf. Also looking forward to seeing what you do with the bears!

Bear on pause for now.

All are done!
Dwarf - ARKUS HARN DWARF WITCH HUNTER SKU - 30011
Like stated before, odd sculpt, weird anatomy, strange face, do not like it. Duster Coat has some issues too, visible large areas with casting artifacts.



This one is much better with the beard, and at least the torch makes more sense.



Running out of conversion ideas, dove into dwarf bit tin, made it work. It is always a good day when the bit tin is depleting.






Teamwork!

Awesome work mothsniper. spike the green is such a cool mini. Careful if you make him dangerous tho!

The three converted dwarfs are properly cool, so many great little details that you’ve added like the candle on the hat and the steam punk lantern

Nice little guys there mothsniper.

Cheers,

CB

You did a great job modifying those Witch Hunters!

Wow, I'm jealous of your Dwarf collection!
Brilliant work page after page. Lovely colors, lovely models.

The OSL on the latest additions is spot on. Well done!

Thank you guys!

The axe lads are done.

Dwarf - KING HARBROMM AXEHELM SKU - 02378
Good model, sculp, mold, solid mini.


Dwarf - BALAN IRONBREAKER SKU - 02237
Not a fan of these scrawny sculpts, and the helmet looks like it is glued on, and an eye patch. Strange model.


Dwarf - THORONDIL OF KRAGMARR SKU - 02294
Awesome model! this guy was easy and fun to paint.

Got the Dark Dwarfs as well.



Speedpaint over white.



All these are good sculpt, good molds with minimal mold-lines, easy to paint, I am happy with these and with how they turned-out.
Dwarf - DARK DWARF IRONTONGUE PRIEST SKU - 03883



Dwarf - DARK DWARF CLEAVER SKU - 30081



Dwarf - DARK DWARF POUNDER SKU - 30078



Dwarf - DARK DWARF STRIKER SKU - 03892


Dwarf - DARK DWARF SMITER SKU - 30079



The band





"Come and get some!"

Those dark dwarves are ace, I love what you did with the skin tones and glowing eyes.

I concur, the palette on the dark dwarves is great

Sculpts are really good! Paintjob is top, love the dark green atmosphere you have given them.

Really like the glow on their beards.

Digging those dark dwarfs! The glowing sheds on iron tongue are amazing, as is the overall effect. They really look to be coming out of the shadows to attack the other 2 in the last pic!

Saw your terrain blog pop up the other day and wondered how you’ve been getting on with the case for these guys.
