Finished off another Otherworld miniature this week. The Last of the Gnomes that I have this time the Thief/Illusionist character. I'll probably use him more as a thief rather than a mage. I like this character a lot especially his leather cap that lined with fur. Armed with a trusty short sword a dagger sheathed at his ankle and holding a Finding Stone (I think its kind of a glowing gem). The model has tons of pouches and pockets.
Tobias Filch is a master thief, tinkerer and dabbler in the arts of magic (Which he uses to help find traps, unlock doors and chests, identify items of magical value and of course dispel the odd illusion hiding treasure). Tobias wanders from adventuring company to company often at there detriment to there members personal inventories and purses. Currently Tobias has joined up with some of his own kind Petril and Kat Shortcloak of the Fists of Iron Adventuring Company who are preparing for an expedition into the Dimwood on the hunt for a band of goblins who are raiding nearby
homesteads and villages.
These really are gorgeous miniatures and you do such a great job on them Simon, lovely work Sir.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Michael. They are cracking sculpts to paint up.
DeleteWonderful stuff Simon. I especially like the group photo, as the scenery behind them (especially the branch) really works well. Your soft palette makes everything seem very realistic and lifelike. Thoroughly enjoying these postings and your splendid back-stories :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much the slimy shelf serves its purpose :P
DeleteA great paint job, no doubt...and a great sculpt as well!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil :)
DeleteAnother top notch addition to the adventuring Party. Great work mate. :)
ReplyDeleteAre you still thinking of gaming these with SoBH? :)
Thanks very much mate. Yes as a temporary ruleset. I'm still looking forward to the Otherworld Ruleset that uses the action engine.
DeleteThat is a rather lovely character model and wonderfully brought to life by your painting skills.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much buddy, My favourite sculpt I think out of all the Adventurers.
DeleteHe's a fine addition to your gnome party. Lovely paint job, as always. I do like the crystal he's holding. I've been painting a few of them myself for Super Dungeon Explore and they aren't the easiest of things to paint.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Yeah I wasn't at all sure about how to go about it. I didn't want to try a glow effect. I ended up basecoating it hormagaunt purple. washed with AP Purple wash. Highlight with H Purple then a very fine white highlight. I then washed with AP Purple again.
DeleteThat's a great looking figure Simon, so full of detail!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray yeah its what I love about the OW Characters they have pouches and bits of gear stowed all over the place.
DeleteGreat stuff! All three are so full of character.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gordon :)
DeleteHola Amigo
ReplyDeleteBuena pieza nos as traído hoy
si señor me gusta
un saludo
Greetings J.D thank you very much!
DeleteI love these figures, though I'm beginning to develop a considerable dislike of gnome adventurers. They all seem to be quite untrustworthy characters!
ReplyDeleteLOL Thanks.Certainly in the case of Tobias with Kat only if your skin is a nice shade and she needs a new hand bag.
DeleteGreat job, Simon. Like your choice of colors a lot.
ReplyDeleteThe hat & droopy mustache combine to give this guy a very distinctive look.
Thanks Finch he's full of character. Especially as he doesn't have the typical hooded look most thief characters have.
DeleteThat's one super sculp with such a lot of detail that you've brilliantly managed to catch. Your brus-work is as top notch as usual.
ReplyDelete(Why do I still keep losing your blog ?)
Thanks Joe no idea? Do you follow it via blog rolls?
DeleteGot to say VERY well painted. I really like this figure AND what you have done with it.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Clint!
DeleteBeautiful addition dude!
ReplyDeleteAnother fantastic character, full of details. Like the new banner too!
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done with a good colour scheme. Only an reddish orange moustache could have brought the mini to life and you nailed it.
ReplyDeleteLove your blog and paintwork.Your blog looks very personal.I will start following your projects from now. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. I shall do the same you have some great scratch builds done.
