Ah yes the dwarves. very cool. Well done hashut!

I really love the blackshield minis too QB.

I am not sure I f i will buy the command though, I feel like just bolstering by buying blisters lol!

Haha, thanks guys

Did wonder if people had just missed that I'd finished

Queen Beruthiel: Excellent job on making them look grimy, dirty, rusty and unclean! I was going to say that the skin shiould be lighter to stand out more,t hen I thought about it and think the darker skin looks far greater, so kudos

It's also closer to how they are in the films and a clear indication that I've been in WHFantasy for too long, lol

Thanks Hashut

Hey guys, apologies for not posting stuff up yet

I've been busy with uni, it's pretty much pile-driving me into the ground with assessment at the moment!

Some fantastic work from most of the regulars though!

Truth be told, I am struggling here. The fire on his mane is hard to do >.< No doubt i will redo that so I will just point you towards the scales, the left leg and the whip, as well as the head.

Queen Berúthiel · **Posted:** Thu Sep 16, 2010 6:27 pm

what redo the head? it looks awesome great work James :yay:

wow!!! that balrog is coming out very nicely! i particularly like the horns, they look great

Dang that's cool! I would say don't redo the flames, just add some dull-coat to them so that they don't shine. Then they look like really smokey and dirty flames, akin to the film

Excellent work and putting me to shame!

the riders are pretty much finished now. just a few finishing touches and gluing to the horses and my months painting is complete!

should be done by tomorrow, so i will post pics then.

EDIT: i just noticed now i've uploaded them how bad my photos are. sorry about that. believe it or not, the hair is actually highlighted!!

Queen Berúthiel · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 5:10 am

WOW that looks great agincourt. I especially like the freehand on the banner :yay:

theavenger001 · **Posted:** Tue Sep 21, 2010 6:08 pm

Very nice elves. They look good for tt quality, though the banner pole and the little bits of red could do with some texturing/shading and highlighting, respectivley.

Cyndra the Grey · **Posted:** Wed Sep 22, 2010 6:06 pm

Here is my first update.
All the elves have the base colours on and only need washing and basing to be done:

Good luck to the rest of you guys.

Cyndra the Grey · **Posted:** Sat Sep 25, 2010 4:58 pm

Right, all the washes are finished on my elves. Now just basing to go:

C&C welcome

well done everyone, it seems like most of us are going to make the deadline

I've done a bit of work on my high elves and I think i'll finish them either today or tommorow

I'm once more ill so everything goes a bit slower.

To be honest, I was a little concerned as to how the colour scheme would come out, but now that it's nearing completion it's uniqueness is actually great and you've managed to complement the colours together very well! Kudos!
