Excellent model by Otherworld Miniatures sculpted by Jo Brumby.

 

Andrew Taylor's advice on colours used was invaluable. So I've posted them here for future reference & to anyone, who might find it useful. 

1. Black primer for a change.
2. For the fur a mix of Vallejo Luftwaffe uniform and black, then added a little more white to highlight.
3. The skin is Vallejo German Camo Black, with sky blue added to highlight it up.
4. The tongue is Vallejo Game colour tan, then dwarf flesh, then elf flesh.

Otherworld Miniatures ACC2b – Hunting Hounds (3)

Ohh, another post. This time round, its Otherworld Miniatures ACC2b – Hunting Hounds (3) which were great pleasure to paint. I decided to play around with a wet blending mention as well as the good old trusted dry brushing. I think they came out rather well.

 

 

 

I didn't take note on the colours I used on these rather wonderful canines. 

Games Workshop Mirkwood Rangers

Well its been a very long time, since my last post. Not because of lacking of painting, far from it, I have been painting quite a bit, but just not photographing my completed miniatures. Any way, I digress. This is my last painted miniatures, taken from Games Workshop "The Hobbit" range. Mirkwood Rangers. I feel that this should be renamed "Mirkwood Wood Elves" which would be more apt.

Grenadier Fantasy Warrior Orcs

Great miniatures from Grenadier, sculpted Mr Nick Lund purchased in the 1980's. The orcs come from various packs of Grenadier Fantasy Warriors range. The first orc with axe and shield is from Fantasy Warriors pack 943 orcs with hand weapons. The second orc with spiked mace comes from unknown pack, perhaps a variation from pack 942. The third is from Fantasy Warriors pack 948 orcs with bows. Finally the fourth is from Fantasy Warriors pack 944 orcs with pole arms.

The orc skins colours used were:

1. Foundry paint Moss Shade 29A.
2. Foundry paint Moss  29B.
3. Foundry paint Moss Light 29C + a touch of Moss 29B.
4. Final extreme highlight was Foundry Moss light 29C.

The first, second & fourth orcs had an ink wash/glaze to produce a more green flesh tone. However the orc with just the bow did not have this wash/glaze. I have to say I prefer it & will paint future orcs with this mix of paints.

Grenadier Fantasy Warriors 902 Cleric and Companions

Great miniatures from Grenadier purchased in the 1980's. The cleric was repainted as well as his fellow priest.

 



The fighter was painted for the first time this year. Main colour on the fighter was Vallejo Model Colour English Uniform, the shield was painted with Vallejo Model Colour 982 Cavalry Red & highlighted with VMC 957 Flat Red. I printed up a water decal representing 'The Lord's Alliance' which is a D&D Faction for Forgotten Realms/ Faerun.
