Ariel

Ariel

Speaking of brightly coloured paint jobs this is my Ariel minature.  A more ghastly looking minature I don’t believe I possess.  If I’m fair the style is heroic so you can’t quibble to much about its lack of proportion still she’s rather unattractive and the wings are quite thick, which you can’t really see from this picture.  The robes are pretty good, though my drybrushing hasn’t really done them much justice.  All in all it’s not a miniature I’m particularly proud of but it’s here for completeness.

Treeman (two) – Durthu

Treeman (two)

My second treeman, the old Wood Elves Special Character Durthu.  Painted a little while after my first treeman again to the Games Workshop colour scheme.  This however is replete with my first conversion job which consists of fixing his arm in place as if he were shaking his fist and a bit of metal flashing/sprue glued to that fist to represent him giving the finger/bird.  Ok it’s pretty rubbish since it doesn’t really look like his other fingers and his middle finger still remains bunched up in his fist.  It was a joke but despite many times thinking I should remove it I just can’t bring myself to do so.

Grimgor Ironhide

Grimgor Ironhide

For a long time my favourite and best painted figure in my collection (with the exception perhaps of my Avatar which I went and sold :cry:, anyway moving on).  This minature truly embodies the mean and green spirit of the orcs.  Obviously I’ve pretty much faithfully followed Games Workshop colour scheme as I almost always do.  There have been a couple of times when I’ve deviated thinking something would look good painted with a different scheme and then.. well.. it didn’t.  As a result I have little faith in my visualisation of colours and so tend to copy that which is proven.  The only thing thats a little different is the armour isn’t quite as blackened and the green skin isn’t quite as light.  Each time I think I should lighten the skin I decide not too.  I kinda like it dark.
