Also nearing completion with the Dwarfs of Ashak Rise. Two more clansmen to paint up and some crossbow dwarfs wending their way as we speak, courtesy of Phreedh.  :D

I had to demote Snorinn to join the clansmen as I manged to track down the original scenario mini on ebay a while back - no silly prices on this one!  :D Snorinn is the one on the right. Borinn, his father and mastermind of the desertion/gold panning scheme, is on the left.







Not combatants but key in Borinn's get-away plan are these three fine young fillies -





and where would we be without some battle scenes... >:D

You need an ointment for that, mate? :D :P

Thants, when it rains it pours... Good job, and I like the new Snorinn better than the old! Looking forward to see my crossbow guys painted up! =D

Cheers Rob - no worries about your sort out - looks like that little game I keep talking about might have to be curtailed - relatives stuff going on all weekend myself...  >:(

Pleasure's all mine!

Might even get the last two of Borinn's clansmen based up and photographed if I can get rid of the outlaws who are coming round for a BBQ in good time!  >:D

No wonder the orcs are pissed, that elf in the background seems to have made his hood out of orc skin! =)

That dwarf thief is a great mini, you have an awesome collection of models painted up by now mate! Browsed through your old pics yesterday evening. You've had a bloody productive spring! =D

... and talking of green...















Quite chuffed with this guy's shield - took the design from the Kwae Carr Orc's page in the scenario booklet and painted it with a sharpened stick, filling in the gaps with a brush! Might have to fill in the background in red to hep it stand out more - not terribly clear with the metallic background...  ::)



... and the obligatory battle scene - Ambush at Ashak Rise!



Loads more mugshots and a few ramblings on the blog -

Awesome update, they look very nice!

I have huge problems when faced with a blank shield - I'm rubbish at free hand painting. =) Yours turned out well, but as you say - more contrast with the background might make it more distinct.

Cheers Phreedh - went back to it and in true Orky style I painted it red!  >:D

Looks a bit better I think...
