Title: Dwarf Mini playing Bagpipes
Post by: seatrout00 on 21 August 2010, 07:09:00 AM

A long time ago... I remember seeing a Reaper Mini of a dwarf playing the bagpipes and *facepalms* I did not buy it... anyone remember this piece or know of any around? I had a Sonnlinor I played in a 2nd edition pnp D&D game and, well, he was special, would like to have him for show in the house.

Possibly the Black Hat ones could be an alternative?

That figure is truly awesome! I have to seriously get back into painting minis - anyone got any ideas about setting up in a house with minimal space with kids? I can see getting back into it and collecting a dwarven band section and having some amazing fun painting them!  :)

I have a crate for supplies/brushes/putty/flock etc, a large cork mat and a box for paints. I just get out what I need and put it all away when I'm done.  The secret is to prep and prime a few minis at a time so you can concentrate on the painting.

My new photo set up is pretty compact too, lean an A4 sheet against a drinks can and take a pic without a tripod using the flash on the minimum setting.

There's one in the Celtos Vanir range as well:

Seems to be quite a popular subject!  lol

Went to a few of the shops around here, couldn't find anything at all in the way of dwarves and bagpipes!  :'(

I am guessing, this isn't going to be a very easy thing to find, perhaps I would only have success at online shops. I'd really like to get the figures unpainted, while my painting skills are lousy compared to many I've seen here, I still want to have a go at it. If anyone knows of any shops selling these actual figures, I'd really appreciate links or such.

Thanks!

*facepalms* You're right.... I'm a bit stupid sometimes.
