Wow, I think that looks pretty great!! Well done!

Great stuff. I've not tried to do any object-source-lighting on my miniatures, although this miniature, along with Nocturne's ringwaiths have made me want to give it a try.

Great work, KJ! I've also not been brave enough to try OSL, but you may have inspired me to give it a try on my Gandalf.

Great work, KJ.

I was seriously tempted to join this thread but I am painting and basing a Discworld mini as a present for a friend and I want to spend all my time and limited painting talent upon that. Best of luck folks! I like what I am seeing so far!

That looks really good, KJ. Very, very nice idea and well executed :yay:

Dorth, I love your new avatar! :lol:

I've started painting my Gandalf now, I have got some pre painted pictures to post up but cannot do it at the moment.

Saruman looks great KJ!

Here is my proof that Gandalf wasn't already painted.

I've been meaning to paint this model for about 5 years so this is a great excuse to actually get around to it.

The osl looks great from the side of the mini, that is if you are looking saruman in the face. From the side it does look a little weird but the front view more than makes up for it. :roll:

garmenhord · **Posted:** Fri Dec 11, 2009 9:20 pm

I like the light on that Saruman
Well done :yay:

Anduril Blade of Kings · **Posted:** Fri Dec 11, 2009 9:26 pm

Wait a second. Was I supposed to take a pic of the bare pewter as proof it wasn't already painted?

I didn't, if I was supposed to. :oops:

Well, anyways, here's my WIP Cirdan. Decided to paint him instead of Gandalf the White.

Looking at him again, I'm simply not pleased. His skin especially I know I can do better on. I may strip him and start over.

The OSL on Saruman certainly looks dramatic; nice work KJ Necromancer!

And, though the pic is quite small, Cirdan looks good so far Anduril Blade of Kings.

Keep it up guys!

I've started on Gandalf. Like all of my most recent minis, I've primed them white but tried that new trick from the GW Blog update - covering the white primer with a wash. This allows the recesses to get tinted but still preserving the relatively light undercoat for making brighter colors. All I've painted so far is the fur on Shadowfax:

Phantom_Lord · **Posted:** Sat Dec 12, 2009 10:48 pm

looking nice so far!

i think saruman looks very cool, only it does look a bit weird from the side vieuw if i may say so...

other than that, great work everyone and keep it up

Update on Cirdan. He's about 90% finished

Good work on Cirdan.

Really impressed with the Saruman and Cirdan...some great pieces there guys! :yay:

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Sun Dec 13, 2009 9:20 pm

Here's my proof picture:

Have started painting him but not gotten very far as of yet.

The robes on Cirdan look VERY good! :yay:
