Title: Handsome Barbarian (p5) - FunkyBrush's Fantasy Thread
Post by: FunkyBrush on 06 September 2015, 10:42:20 AM
I returned to the painting desk after some time and I'm in the mood for some fantasy stuff.

The minis are Otherworld and Reaper. I'm not painting for a particular game. Just for the fun.

More to come...

Painted up my Hasslefree Ash (He who is prophesied to fall from the Heavens and deliver us from the terrors of the deadites).
Not 100% fantasy but whatever. ;D

The deadites are Mantic ghouls.

Post by: Steve F on 10 September 2015, 08:39:29 PM
Sure it's a fantasy.  It's like A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court.  But with chainsaws.  And zombies.

I very much agree with Ajsalium about the ghouls: the Ash figure is well-painted, but it's a lovely sculpt to start with.  The Mantic ghouls are OK, but getting them to look that good is impressive.

From my gaudy style perspective, your LOVELY choice of colors is almost subdued. You have a WONDERFUL way with the brush. The Band of Adventures is VERY WELL DONE indeed! All that it lacks is a Group Portrait.

I love all these miniatures, and you sure did them justice. Luna is one of my favourite sculpts, but I hadn't realized how similar she is to Aenur.

Your Frostgrave collection is great too! Nice colors, and pretty obvious character modelling.

Finished my own Frostgrave Warband. It was realy fun converting and painting them but it took a while. Mostly Games Workshop and Fireforge minis. The dog is from Bombshell Miniatures.

Your Bandits are a WONDERFULLY diverse group that go SPLENDIDLY together...i think its the universally BEAUTIFUL brushwork that does it.
The Treasures are of the same oh-so-high quality as the other more active miniatures. You managed to escape the all browns for the chests which is something I never have been able to do. VERY WELL DONE once more!

I painted up Steelheart's Champions from Shadespire. Good looking miniatures. Fun to build and paint. Even the bases are good. The only point of critique are the giant gaps on the shoulder pads. It was really hard to conceal them. Cheers!

Here is the second warband from Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire. I like Garrek's Reavers a little bit more than Steelheart's Champions. I will definitively get more faction for Warhammer Underworld. Its a really fun game and the minis are superb.

Bump! Long time no see.
I got back in the painting chair recently and actually managed to finish something.
Here is a unit of plaguebearers. I was playing with the idea of starting a Nurgle army. Painting them was a drag. So this will be the only Deamons of Nurgle for me.
