I don't multi-task my hobbies very well, thus nothing's been done with my Warhammer or Warmachine stuff for the past couple weeks as I've been currently getting into DnD. However I finally got the figs for my two characters in the mail, and the other player got the figs for his two characters, and now I get to work to make them more look like what we want them to.

First up is the party's Tiefling. I loved the Iconic Sorceress artwork from Pathfinder when I saw it on a book cover at the FLGS, and when looking for figs found out Reaper makes figs for the Pathfinder Iconics, so I was sold on what I wanted to do. Picked her up, and just had to add horns and a tail. Pretty easy and she's all done.

Second is the Fighter. So I could keep my artwork and figs in a cohesive style, I went with another one of the Pathfinder Iconics. He comes armed with a Longsword and a Short sword, and my Tempest Technique Fighter wields two Short swords, so it was mostly just Dremeling down the Longsword so it matched the existing Short sword. Shortened the scabbard so match, and am in the process of lengthening the other scabbard as it looked like it would barely fit a dagger, much less the sword that's supposed to go in it. He's not quite yet done, just need to add some details to the second scabbard.

Third is the other guy's Goliath. It was tagged as a Goliath on Reaper's website, and was by far the best looking barbarian fig on the site, but when it showed up, it's no bigger than any other human, and Goliaths are supposed to stand some eight feet tall. Enbiggening go! Bit of extra height on the bottom of his feet, cut off at the knees and waist to stretch and add height, then stretched his arms to match the new proportions. Put in a piece of Cheater Height plastic on his base for extra measure. I've filled in the waist and knees, still need to do the elbows and some minor feet clean up, then make him a proper big arse sword.

Last but not least is the Dragonborn Cleric. I couldn't find any figs that matched the awesomeness of the artwork for a Dragonborn, and this was the closest one that they had that the other guy liked. My actual job on his guy is to give him a hammer to replace the sword he had, and mess with a couple of the minor details. In looking at it, the thing's just too hunched and Scaven-like for my tastes. I asked the guy and he said he trusted me to do what I want to the thing to make it better, so I think I may remove the neck to plant the head on top of the shoulders like it should be, and maybe remove the legs to get him to stand up straighter.

I want to have these done today, so I can give them to the guy we're having paint them tomorrow, so here's hoping I can keep moving right along on this.

Oh, I can't wait to see that lizard guy painted!

New legs for the Dragonborn, and repositioned his head, so he's less Skaven and more noble warrior. Let the glue set up while I do some more GS work on the Goliath, and then I can add in more details on the butt and legs and neck of the Dragonborn so he's less chicken legged. Group shot for height comparisons.

Goliath is done with the exception of his weapon. Dragon's doneish, I think I want to do more with the legs yet, maybe replace the anklets with shin guards to match the forearm guards on the fig. Wish the legs I used hadn't come from a previously painted fig, I think the yellow makes them look more naked than they are compared to the rest of the fig.

Went ahead and made shin armor to match the forearms on the Dragon, and then made up some weapons. Goliath's sword is a bit on a smallish side, though mostly only compared to himself, as it's taller than the Tiefling by itself. His pose won't really let me make it any bigger though. Fairly standard no nonsense Greatsword. Dragon's got a Warhammer, made to look like a Sledgehammer as I just like that kind of block look rather than the fancy and odd hammers that are more historically accurate. His might be a bit too biggish. Both could use a bit of detail work with wrapped grips and what have you, just want to make sure the guy likes the way they look before I put that effort into them though.

And I do believe they're all done before the buzzer. The Dragonborn's still not as cool as the artwork, but I've yet to see a fig for one that is. The Goliath is supremely bad arse looking and I'm really happy with the way he and the Tiefling turned out. The Human didn't really have much needed to be done on him, but it's still a pretty good fig. Give these to the guy I'm having paint them tomorrow, and I'll see about updating this in a week or two when I get them back.

Nice, and you're prompted me to look at posting my D&D models in here.

I personally primarily use Warhammer models for D&D figures - so far, I've painted up:

- A Bretonnian Damsel as a female Human Wizard;
- A Dark Elf Assassin as a Changeling Rogue;
- Aenur, Sword of Twilight as a Half-Elf Bard/Rogue.

I'm also halfway through painting up a Waywatcher to be an Elf Ranger, and intend to spend a fair bit of time converting up a Dragonborn Sorceror based on a Saurus Scar-Veteran with some sort of wings (Dragonborn in my D&D group have tails, to aid the draconic look.)

Can I just say though - love the Goliath and the Ranger, but the Dragonborn's pose seems a bit... prancy for me. It looks like he's posing for a portrait! I'm also gonna hold off judgement on the Tiefling for now, but I like the idea...

And finally got the last one back from the painter. Here they are fully done up, though I think I may have to touch up those chips on the Tiefling's hair.
