This is all going to be about musculature and flesh-tones. To help me with this project I have gone full method acting; last night I re-watched Schwarzenegger's "Conan the Barbarian", I've started reading Robert E. Howard's titular book (not enjoying it so far), I had a protein shake this morning for breakfast and I'll be hitting the gym tonight (maybe). Oh and I've [carefully] looked for different skin tone painting techniques that I can try out on so many scantily clad Barbarian models.
You saw my Bob Naismith Thrud and friend and here I've gathered a couple of his friends that I have previously from Hasslefree Miniatures as well as a Citadel "fan" and a Reaper Bones leopard:
To add to these, I've captured a couple of very cheap old Citadel lead Tribesman from ebay (£1 per model!), Big Momma and a Dwarf beserker, also from Citadel, another Hasslefree model with a nice dynamic pose and a Red Box games (which I've head-swapped) model too. Additionally a plastic kitbashed model to create a Shaman and another Reaper Bones wolf. I'll share these next time if I can find time between my gym and protein shake routine.
Great looking warband Stuart, great use of the Dark Eldar captive
ReplyDeleteCheers Dave, she looks like a newer version of one of Thrud's fans and fits in with a bit of the Frank Frazetta style
DeleteLooking good man! As for training keep it up...you will look like Thrud before you know it. ;)
ReplyDeleteJust without the pinhead hopefully. I may need to step up my regime a bit then
DeleteI love how they're all so different and yet fit with one another !
ReplyDeleteI'm trying out quite a few different skin tones too so glad to hear that they're looking homogenous
DeleteWhat a great looking minis!
ReplyDeleteSuperb painting and basing, well done!
ReplyDeleteMetal. Good work on the skin tones and a very entertaining selection of figures!
