Fallen Dwarfs from Anvil Industries
« on: July 12, 2014, 12:46:01 PM »
Lovely, lovely minis - no mouldlines, a little flash to pick off but otherwise perfect.  Detail is clean and deep - a joy to paint them.  I also picked up the characters in metal from Neal at Miniatures of the North - he was kind enough to sell me some test casts.

Thanks to Giger for showing me these exist - I took a different approach with the colours from him, so consider these an "alternative" paintjob to his excellent LotR figures.

Bulk painting techniques, but I'm happy with the results.  I changed some of the weapons for variation - spare weapons from Mantic's plastic kits fit nicely.  The flamethrower hose was replaced with some guitar string.

GW's new Nikolah Oxide patina wash makes a nice "eldritch fire" effect :)  Flesh tones are deliberately pallid and sickly - the purple  shading also goes nicely with the brassy gold armour.  The very limited "warm" palette I used came out OK, I feel.  Might put some foliage on the bases though.

Apologies for the phone camera pictures - the colours are a lot richer in real life.  Particularly happy with the sorcerer and priest models.

Neat result. The red and gold goes well together.
