Title: Otherworld gnolls
Post by: antimatter on 12 February 2011, 03:52:49 AM: Some very vicious looking creatures, these gnolls from Otherworld miniatures. They are quite romanesque in their armor choices also.

These took longer than the orcs as they have some pretty fine detail.

These otherworld gnolls are almost more like display models with the level of detail, and the price tag. It is tough to get an army of them, or a big encounter. I wonder if the old partha ones in the box set are still available from Iron Wind Metals.

* just checked and "Harag Skullsmasher and his Gnoll Raiders" was the partha boxed set and is not easy to find.

Love the Otherworld range of figures, they have such range and depth of character on the models you sometimes forget that they are sculpted by various talents!

Quick and dirty. For the steel, the first coat was a pure silver, but thinned a bit. Then next was successive glazes of black paint + GW Devlan Mud wash. Last was a bit of silver highlight again, and a couple more thin layers of dirty glaze. The gold was very simple, bronze, then a wash of burnt umber ink + matte medium (the GW washes are not really good for gold). When dry, highlight with light gold + silver.
