The Daniel36 Chronicles - Frostgrave Adventures

[Daniel36]

I am thinking of doing a simple tutorial on how I paint my faces, for those interested... They come out rather nicely these days and it is super simple.

Super work (and yes please, a tutorial would be awesome!)

Lovely archer Daniel. Really nice fabric tones, variety but in the same hue, but different enough to be interesting. His little face is nice too

I also go the wash and drybrush method, what heretics we are hahaha

Cheers

Love it.  Best paint job I've seen for this model's face.   I guess I picked the wrong body for this archer.. seems like the body you chose is popular for the archer

I chose this body for my archer (this isn't my mini.. some mini off google images)  I also chose the bow arm but I chose the head that you used on your mini.

[Daniel36]

I don't remember giving the body type much thought, other than I didn't want the same body and/or face for the same type of henchman. I wouldn't worry about it too much if I were you. They all look good, they don't seem specifically made for a specific type.

It's a lot of fun making unique ones   I suppose I should get the cultist one just for the option of having some more bodies and perhaps the cultist pack has a dagger in the primary hand?  Dont' really care for the hooded heads though.

But the pointy hoods might grow on me.. not for a warband though I guess..  I actually don't know their purpose yet because I don't have the expansion.

More great additions. Thanks for sharing

[Daniel36]

I promised you guys a tutorial for painting faces, and I had some time off today, so I went ahead and created one.

You can find it over here:

I hope it will prove useful to you! And feel free to join the forum and drop a comment. >_<

And while I was at it;

[Daniel36]

I figured I'd give zooming in a little bit a try. Do you prefer the zoomed in pictures, or are the pics from slighty further away better?


Another henchman - I may have to give his moustache a bit more paint... Didn't notice until now.


And a tracker

Great looking miniatures. How did you do the bow strings? It is a nice finishing touch.

[Daniel36]

Thank you!

The bowstring is just a piece of thread. I cut off a bit, leaving enough to wrap around. First, I used super glue to attach both ends to the bow. Then, I had to wait for it to dry, but since I am severely impatient I went on with step two too soon, and added another drop of superglue to the ends and wrap the loose ends around three times.

It is best to use a tweezer for that, but I was too lazy to get up so I used my fingers... Not smart... Anyways, I cut off the remaining loose ends and that was that. Perfect bowstrings. I am sure there are better methods out there, but I always make do with what I have. Jennifer's example picture shows probably a better way to do it, but whatevz...

[Daniel36]

Not sure if I like the blue with the rest, but hey, not everyone can have fashion sense, right?

[Daniel36]

Humpty dum...

I like the close ups shots better, but then I do browse more on my smart phone.

I like the latest archer and 2 handed knight. nice poses and good colour choices.
