Work continues apace on my Relics force the last two units are painted they just need varnishing and then the tufts etc added to the bases. In between puppet unit drying this week I got a Dinosaur Herbivore Mutt finished for S.D.Z.A as I'm helping with some play testing and I need him for the demo scenario. Decided to just go with a simple green skin tone and kept the ragged cloth a neutral brown colour. Really wasn't sure what colour to do the eyes so went for an orange/red look. I'm quite pleased with how he's turned out I've not really done anything like him before. I have the Carnivore mutt in the queue todo as well thinking of an orange/blue combo for him.
All being well I'll have pics up next week of the last two units for my Relics force. The Tournament is a week today so I need to run a few games and get familiar with the basics ready. I may switch a unit out but only if I get the Highlanders ready in time.
Excellent work on the dino-man. Great stuff mate. :)
ReplyDeleteWith Relics and SDZA you have been incredibly prolific again - just need you start on a crew of Antarctic bird inspired criminals! :)
Cheers Dude. They are in the paint Queue for April :)
DeleteGood man! :)
DeleteGreat looking mini. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. Yeah there pretty cool figures.
DeleteNicely painted.
ReplyDeleteThanks Clint.
DeleteCool dino-man... nice work.
ReplyDeleteCheers dude.
DeleteYour painting is always of a very standard. I do like this figure.
ReplyDeleteOops, I should have said "of a very high standard."
DeleteOh that is very well done indeed Simon. Love the green skin and contrasting brown. I have this mini myself and you've certainly given me something to think about colour scheme wise now. I'll also wait a bit longer now until I paint it, so people will forget about how well you've painted this one and then hopefully admire my paltry effort ;-)
ReplyDeleteThanks very much lol! I plan on getting a second at some point and converting him. Time and funds willing :)
DeleteLovely paintjob Simon, nice contrasts.
ReplyDeleteThe mini looks like a turtle that's lost it's shell though.
Thanks :) Could well be the case perhaps a retired Donatello maybe.
DeleteVery nice work, Simon. Your color choices for skin tone and clothing are a winning combo. Love the photography too.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean. A nice and simple scheme I thought as well. The carnivore will be much brighter if it goes to plan!
DeleteThat's a really nice and unusual figure. Painting is excellent as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Expect some more like it :)
DeleteThe eyes came out very nice. The drab clothing is just right for him.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert I wasn't sure what to with the eyes so just went with a reddy orange :)
DeleteNicely done, Simon. He looks quite at home amongst all those plants.
ReplyDeleteThanks Finch I hope they will go well amongst my Across the Dead Earth terrain as well :)
DeleteI can't help thinking that this is a turtle who has lost his shell. He (she?) does have a slightly forlorn look.
ReplyDeleteYes he could well be its human who been mutated by the R.D.S virus as Turtles are prehistoric its all pretty valid.
DeleteI hate to say it mate but he looks cute. Is he going to make a crossover into your post-apocalyptic world? That would be cute.
ReplyDeletelol thats fine. Its for a slightly different Post Apocalyptic setting but will have use as a mutant or similar in many PA settings I think.
DeleteYup, I'm in the "looks cute" club too. Is a cool looking sculpt and would make for an interesting looking cleric, or priest in an rpg game too.
ReplyDeleteHe looks cool, that is a strange mini
ReplyDeleteGood work on the mini, especially the eyes. Is that a four leaf clover in the background? Nah it couldn't be.
