After three whole weeks of not
having any new painted miniatures to show off, I finally finished my first
three Dragon Company troopers. Yay!
This lengthy process is not so much
due to my extremely slow speed of painting (though it didn’t help), but more
because of a very busy social schedule. As usual, I’ve also been messing about
with colors and techniques (in this case learning to use my wet palette), which
slowed everything down.
Anyway, without further ado, here
are the troopers:
I must say, I really love these
sculpts. In my opinion, they are the perfect embodiment of dwarfishness without
being totally over the top, and you have
to appreciate the small details like the dragon-emblem on their belt-buckles.
I’m also fairly proud of the
paint-job, though I’ll probably go for a slightly brighter shade of red for the
tunics in the future (not because there’s anything wrong with them as it is,
but I’d like to try to lighten things up a bit in general).
I also accidentally dropped one of
them into my wet palette (first rule of the wet palette: DON’T hold your miniatures directly above the palette when
painting) which slightly smushed his beard in a way that I couldn’t fully repair
without stripping the model and starting over – something I’m very much not in the mood for. It’s not all that noticeable,
so I’ll live with it.
Now I just need to pant another 17
of these guys – hopefully at a rate of slightly more than one per week.
