Mercenary - from Tale of War Miniatures
« on: July 22, 2011, 03:55:59 AM »
Took me ages - 6 hours - to pain it and it was my real first attempt at doing some highlights and such. It could be better, but at tabletop level, it's rather good ;)

The miniature is from this maker: http://www.taleofwar.com/shop/ and it's so good it almost paints itself, lol. The Spartan Warriors (300 movie inspired) are also great.

Yes, he's got eyes...tiny ones...but they are there!




With flash and macro (and a lousy camera):




He's going to be a mercenary leader for a small force of old VOID marines I'm working on ;)

That's an excllent model!!!  I've not seen that one before.

I'd suggest a bit of dull varnish to take away that sheen.

GREAT! I don't know that maker, but am glad to now!  :D
I love the scheme and palate, but have to agree with super--- over there, a little less shinny would be better.
Is he 25mm, 28mm ? 
Quality has a quantity of its own

The figure is 28mm (heroic scale, of course, so that mean 30mm, lol). I still need to finish the base and then I'll matt varnish everything.
