A few painted minis...
« on: 06 April 2008, 12:27:03 AM »
I've managed to paint a few miniatures in the last little while, though not nearly as many as I've wanted.  Please excuse the mediocre photography; it's the first time I've photographed miniatures ever.

First, a pair of sorceresses (both from Reaper), from the front and back:





I'm reasonably happy with how they turned out, though the white corset type thing got a little messier than I'd hoped.

Next up some goblins (actually one goblin and three snotlings, all GW), which I enjoy painting in pink flesh tones.  It's how I prove to myself I'm "artistic" I think.



Finally, some foundry peasants in a semi-servicable table top paint job.  What I like about these guys is that I managed to paint all of them in one evening which for me is incredibly speedy.  I undercoated them in white, gave them all a very heavy dark brown wash, then just drybrushed colours on willy nilly.  I wasn't really paying attention, so I was p(l)easantly surprised when they didn't turn into a complete mess.



And that's about all the painted miniatures in my collection that aren't outright god awful.  I suppose I better get painting.

I think you did a good job on the corset thing. Those sorceresses look good. and the peasants are fine too. 8)
