Had a go at a reaper barbarian I had knocking around, fancied a change from ECW and Lord of the rings

Challenged myself to paint flesh a bit more neatly than I have managed before,

pleased with the result even after a mild varnishing problem

what do you think?

have a few more kicking about which I have cleaned up and I will hopefully add these later...

Nice one

I've just dragged this out of the lead pile, thanks to Matakishi's evil mind control. I might copy your colours, I like that brownish hue

thank you

, I tried really hard with this one, and am very pleased with it.

The colours I used for the loin cloth were scorched brown, vermin or bestail brown, followed by snakebite and a touch of vomit as the final highlight.

I have broadsword adventures so I want to do a few of these reaper minis I have floating around to have a couple of bands.

cheers

Excellent work, Dodge!
Particularly liking the flesh.
The muscles are looking very good!
Keep up the good work.

VERY NICELY DONE! That's an old favorite of mine; you did a SPLENDID job of bringing him to life. There definitely seems to be a Barbarian trend of late...nice to see it's return in a non-Chaos form.

Well, there IS a certain movie...

Thanks all for your kind comments

Funny thing is I painted him without really thinking of the movie hadn't really seen any of the other barbarian threads until I looked last night.

I really enjoyed painting him though

That's really excellent, Rog. Your painting is blinking good these days. Nice work.

had someone giving me some excellent tips and feedback

I was looking at a couple of those warlord ecw's which I did after you gave me some hints and then the rohan and they looked a lot better , I put all of that into this one , just hope I can do the other 8 or so justice

Fab Dodge, really like the skin tones they lookk very realistic - I know where to come for doing large skin tones now

Nice, I love the skin tone.

While I'm not crazy about the figure, I think you did an excellent job with him.

Thanks guys I do appreciate your feedback, have a few more of these to do over the next couple of weeks and will update.
