Title: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: gmanrocks on December 23, 2017, 04:03:23 PM: It's a running joke that I start more painting projects than I finish, but that's all ended today!

I have finally finished my starting warband (I actually ran through the solo campaign so need to add a Captain), but here they are:

A Warhound, 2 Thugs, a Thief, Archer, Apprentice, Wizard, Crossbowman, Infantryman and Treasure Hunter

What's more, I've been so motivated to play more Frostgrave, I've actually started on the bestiary

Alchemical Monstrosity

Post by: Drachenklinge on December 25, 2017, 11:04:36 AM: These men and ... things ... look splendid! :-*

I don't know what it is with Frostgrave, but I as well painted quite a few minis within short time for that game, after some time of painting nothing due to lack of motivation to paint at all.

And you have some cool paintjobs on these lovely miniatures!
Any next plans with another gang or even terrain?
Title: Re: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: gmanrocks on December 26, 2017, 02:30:12 PM: Thanks folks.Yep those CP minis are wonderful, and so great for anyone on a budget too. Gonna be making another order to pad out my GA bestiary.

Most of my friends are doing their owb gangsm so I'll probably not be doing anything else unless a total newb starts in our campaign...I have enough random bits and pieces to do one.

As for terrain, I've already done plenty, just chipping away, can only take so much grey and brown dry brushing, but I'll get some pics up soon of it.

A Small Construct

Title: Re: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: joe5mc on January 29, 2018, 12:28:41 PM: Yeah, those fire flingers are awesome!
Title: Re: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: gmanrocks on January 29, 2018, 09:13:30 PM: Thanks folks. Oddly enough, I was really down with the way the Fire Flingers turned out. To my eyes they looked messy , the details are very shallow and no matter how much i tried, I wasn't happy, so I just said "enough!". hearing people liked them has given me a bit more confidence in how they turned out :)

I can identify. Sometimes calling something "done" and moving along is the best course of action. Often it's only the artist who knows where all the mistakes are, anyway ;)

I really like this selection of minis. Tons of character! Keep up the good work!~

Ermmmmm If i remember correctly, it's a D&D Ogre.

Yeah, I'll get a pic later. It's mostly GW AoS and LotR stuff for now.

Here's my terrain. Still got a few things to do. A few fences on the GW garden of Morr set, a couple of towers and some Amera ruins, but I can do those as and when...The cobble stone mats need trimming up, but at 1x1 each, they're perfect for different size boards.

Title: Re: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: gmanrocks on February 18, 2018, 05:04:42 PM: Thanks folks. The Werewolf was a really nice mini to paint, if a little awkward due to its pose. One more done before the end of the weekend.

I'm making the most of the next few days recovering from back surgery to clearing off bits from my pain desk. Up first is the Gardens of Morr for the Mausoleum scenario (as well as plenty of good terrain in general)

That started life as a typo, but I thought I'd leave it as it was...Seemed fitting :)

The gorilla was super easy. All GW paints. Spray Grey. Then the fur us Baneblade Brown and a Adminstarum Grey dry brush. The flesh is Eshin Grey, Agrax Earthshade it, then highlight with Dawnstone. Then just pick out the tongue and teeth with pink and bone respectively.
Title: Re: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: gmanrocks on March 04, 2018, 01:12:41 PM: Few more bits done.

Imp

(https://s14.postimg.org/k681dxsht/28576030_10155166363672343_967467402335879168_n.jpg)

And a Medium Construct

Only 3 Armoured Skeletons, a Vampire and Snow Leopard to go!

Post by: gmanrocks on March 07, 2018, 07:00:08 PM: Thanks folks. Back at it again with a quick and dirty paint job, bit it kinda suits the rusted, corroded look I was going for:

Armoured Skeletons

(https://s14.postimg.org/h4kijizyp/28661470_10155174701487343_1359056836480729088_n.jpg)
Title: Re: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: gmanrocks on March 10, 2018, 05:16:23 PM: getting there! A couple more done

Vampire (sadly I couldn't get a good shot because she's so pale, but I'm pleased with my first ever white primed model)

(https://s14.postimg.org/i8xmlgw8h/29063571_10155182130047343_5338274724042506240_n.jpg)

The Genie

Just leaves the Snow Leopard to go, then Dark Alchemy and the Core Book is done!

Title: Re: Finally Finished My Warband!
Post by: gmanrocks on March 12, 2018, 08:33:13 PM: The eagle eyed of you might have noticed on the front page there's no longer just 1 snow trll, but now 2! This is because I hadn't realised there's a random encounter of 2 of them, so that's that done and now... The last one!

Snow Leopard

(https://s14.postimg.org/ai14baws1/29134072_10155187513587343_7324696772024991744_n.jpg)
