The Warforge Miniature Modelling and Conversion

Colorful character

It probably has to do with the fact that I went to Golden Demon and saw all the magnificently painted miniatures, but I've been feeling the urge to pick up a brush lately and paint some stuff, and this guy was the first thing I spotted on my desk. I figured I'd give it a go, though I didn't have very high hopes for the model as I am not very practiced in painting anything but an ork.

 

He's still a work in progress, as you may be able to guess by the messy base and unfinished rock. That said, I'm pretty happy with how he's looking so far - aside from the fact that I haven't painted in eyes, he's got one of the best faces I've managed to paint on a human mini before. That may not say a lot, but I am still pleased. I tried using some ink washes on the cape - it came out a bit dirtier looking than I was shooting for, but it's passable. I was even feeling a little adventurous, so I gave NMM a try on the details that I wanted to be gold. Obviously, it's not quite right - I don't think I have the colors down properly to pull NMM off, and the shine on the bits I tried it on looks a little weird.

All told, there's some more work to be done to him, but for a gaming standard, I think he's up to par.
