Theatralics Dwarf Army: Groupshots

[Limaike]

Just refound your thread. It's wonderful. Especially like your use of Scibor's sculpts.

[Brummie Thug]

Awesome additions. Well done the army looks excellent 

[Theatralic]

Thank you all so much for your nice and encouraging words.

I have been gone way to long again, but with the dawning of a new dwarf army book I am fire and flame again.

Today I started work on a Unit Filler. It has been quiet a strugle so far since wood grain and and painting a mule are things who are rather new to me. I am not perfectly happy but I am getting there, its practice after all





I have a lot in the Pipeline waiting for some Paint, planned is this Unit ( at least 10 of them) for a Painting Challenge in another Forum

I'm a little late to the party - but just wanted to say that I've enjoyed seeing some olde favourites painted up and based.

Fantastic work on the figures!

I think you did a great job on the unit filler!

Where did you manage to get the Donkey and Cart from?

[Theatralic]

Thanks Gentleman, glad that you like it.

The Cart is the Bugmans Cart from 1987 I think (Actually the Year I was born  ). It does come up on Ebay now and then but I got really lucky since I met someone in a store who offered it to me for next to nothing, sometimes you get lucky.

I envy many of you Guys. I wasn`t around when those minis where actually being sold on a regular bases, seems like I missed good Times.

Ahhh the "Good Olde Days" when we fought Grobi and Skaven one handed while we dug tunnels with the other and that was after a big night on Bugmans 


The hobby is going through huge changes with new technology, more companies, great new plastic kits but many of the old classics capture the character of the fantasy world(s) better.

Thanks for the heads up on the cart.  I will see if I can track one down or convert something.

Happy Gaming & keep up the great posts!

Cheers,

Allan

OOH! COOL STUFF! Bugman's Cart looks GREAT; I like what you are doing with the wood. AND all the Old Dwarfs look just as cool now as when they first came out...have FUN with the painting et al!

[Theatralic]

Thanks for the encouragement, really glad that you like it.

Made some progress tonight, I think I am going to finish the Cart tonight, its about Time.

Face, beard and Gloves of the Driver are finished.

Like allways C&C are welcome .

[Theatralic]

I did it, its finished. There are some Parts I could improve on like the Shadows on the Mule or overall contrast, but for now I will call it finished. Sadly the Varnish I used left a rather glossy finish and it really angered me since it destroyed some of the weathered wooden look and swalowed Highlights, maybe I will get back with another matt varnish and try to tone it down.

All in all I am proud to have that lovely piece and happy about how it turned out.

C&C like allways more than welcome.

Great thread you have here! I LOVE dwarves! Good job on all the minis, but especially like Bugman's Cart

Can't wait to see how the gyrocopter turns out

Cheers,

Nice work! I have always thought the cart was a weird thing to put together with that seat piece but yours looks great.

[white knight]

Looks great!

One of these days I'll have to add a pony-cart to my range. 

[Painting Princess]

Looks great!

One of these days I'll have to add a pony-cart to my range. 

That would be great, white knight! I bought some of your ponies a while ago to make a baggage cart from a Mordheim carriage

[Theatralic]

Thanks a bunch Guys, it means a lot to read a compliment from you White Knight.

If you did a Cart it would sell like crazy, of that I am sure!

Finished a Runesmith, I know many dislike new Plastics but i do like them and he looked like even I could finish him in a reasinable amount of Time. There are some Spots which will need touch Ups but all in all I am happy with him.




Please ignore the missing Pics for now. Photobucket sucks, it will reset on 15th of March. I switched to Imgur, no silly Bandwidth Limits there.
