Ongoing Dwarf/Human Army Thread...

[Blue in vt]

  thanks all!  now I just need to find a unit for them to command.  These Marauder Humans are just slightly smaller than the other 3rd-4th edition Citadel Empire troops.  the ones that may work best are some spearmen...they are quite petite as well....damn...off to ebay I go!

  Thanks all...they were fun to work up.  I'm not 100% happy with the banner...I need to find a better material to do them on...this paper one has already flattened out almost completely...

Cheers,

Hey Blue, have you tried to find a "stiffener/hardener" for the paper flag, something like hair spray, starch spray, wood glue or even clear resin. I think that that paper flags have their advantages, especially for those of us, who can not free-hand or can afford to make custom decals.

I use this stuff (the flat, non embossed bits). You can cut it with scissors and bend and fold in any shape and it will hold that shape until you bend it otherwise.

More great work, Blue!

Superb stuff. Your use of colour is amazing, so vibrant without seeming OTT.

Those are excellent! 

I'm still missing the greatsword figure from that set unfortunately. 

Join the gang.
That is one of the best figures from that range, and I have also been after it for a while.

You could try using the foil that is on wine bottles. The thicker stuff is pretty good and holds it shape well once varnish.

Awesome...thanks for the tips lads...that gives me a number of new options to explore....which is good because I have ALL the other banners in my army to paint.

Arise Thread....ARISE from the DEAD!!!

So finally time for an update to this long out of date thread.  My painting desk has been covered with pieces getting ready for LPL and the Brush Slave League (CDO)...and though many of them are painted now I can't show them of until they have competed...so to fill the void I am happy to present a team of three dwarf slayers that I completed for the monthly painting contest over on Bugman's Brewery.  This is a mix of ranges...one old Citadel slayer...one Marauder MM10 slayer...and one Marauder MM16 Slayer.

Here they are:



And here they are with my other completed slayers...some of which you may recognize from LPL5
