Angry Dwarf Army

Sunday, August 14th, 2011

Here is another idea I’ve been thinking about, I took the time to try it out today since I had the time to do all of this. I think I could use a better camera/light setup to make this work a ton better, but this was a pretty good first try I think.

I have only briefly mentioned here about my Abyssal Dwarf / Chaos Dwarf army. I’ve since decided that Angry Dwarf was a better fit since it’s not really going to be an army from any one manufacturer, it’s from many. So from now on, they are “Angry” dwarfs and this is the first to get painted, I started a whole unit, but before I continued, I wanted to try out my paint scheme first before I commit to an entire unit, so far, this fits and I’ll be sticking with it.

What I’ve been up to…

So I’ve not posted much here lately and that’s mostly due to the fact that I haven’t really played any miniature games since the last post, it makes it kind of hard to post here if I’m not gaming.  What I have been doing however is painting a lot more miniatures than normal, so for starters, I’m going to show you some of the progress I’ve made on various Bretonnian units for my army.  This is all of the stuff that’s finished and there is handful of things I’m not posting because they are all works in progress.  But, enjoy my mediocre paint jobs! =)

Damsel on Foot

Battle Standard Bearer

Knight Hero on Foot 2

Kinght Hero on Foot 1

Knights of the Realm 1

Knights of the Realm 2

Men-at-Arms 1

Men-at-Arms 2

Men-at-Arms Mounted Damsel

Peasant Archers 1

Peasant Archers 2

I have been progressing slowly in terms of skill, I used the knight hero on foot, the most recent painted figure, as a means to try out highlighting, something I’ve never done really done or used in my miniature paint jobs.  I’m happy with the way it turned out and will likely use it on characters, generals, hero’s etc.  I can’t see the extra time being worth it on a block of figures, but if I get good enough at it, that might change.
