I'm green with envy. And envy is the highest form of appreciation. Fantastic work.

Which collor you used to paint the Halflings clothes?

Stunning work and great selection of miniatures!  I'm sure they'll give your equally superb Goblins something to think about...

Wow, the more I see of the painters here, the more impressed I am. I'd love to get a guide some day of how our best painters take a mini, and go through, step by step, with topics about blending, skin tones, etc, etc.

Great stuff, and thanks!

Wow, those are outstanding! The blending is SO nice! Just curious, what brand of paint did you use? I find it hard to get such smooth blending with certain brands but I don't know if it's the brand, or just me. Probably just me. ;D

Thanks for all the nice compliments guys  8)!

Ps: how long does it take to paint a miniature to such a high standard?
Just out of interest, how long do you spend on each miniature?
Hmm, hard to tell - because I normally don't paint such a mini in one go: I start with the face, then go on with the shoes of another mini, switch to a completely different project just to come back to the first mini and paint the left hand...  ::) not very effective. It feels that it takes ages to finish a single mini... And thats what I love about copplestone btw - not so much fiddly detail that costs even more time to get painted.

You came back with a "Boooom"
Baby-Pause  :)

Which collor you used to paint the Halflings clothes?
The halfling was the first mini of the bunch so I hardly remember. I think it was foundry drab (12A-C), foundry raw linen (30A-C) and foundry moss (29A-C) each with a little black added to get a darker shade.

Just curious, what brand of paint did you use?
Mostly Foundry and some GW (black, white, eurasian fleshtones). Imho Foundry are great for blending...

I'd love to get a guide some day of how our best painters take a mini, and go through, step by step, with topics about blending, skin tones, etc, etc.
There have been rumours about a new painting guide book coming soon that might contain exactly what you mention... 

Cheers,
Hagen

Those are amazing.  Particularly the African skin tone.  What recipe do you use for it? 
This is my boomstick!

I used foundry dusky flesh shade (6A) as the base color, black to mix up the shades and gw bleached bone for the highlights.
