Some work in progress shots of
characters for my Fallen Dwarves.
All the weapons are in the very early
stages and there's lots of final tweaks to take place on all the
miniatures.
I think my favourite is the downplayed
captain with the bald head and the axe held propped on the ground.
That's a tiger paw and fur around his back, he's a hunter... and he
makes we want to make some berserker inspired middle eastern hunter
Dwarves.
I was a little apprehensive about
putting too much gore onto the high priest: a witch flame in his
right hand and in his left hand... a bloody heart!
Whilst not entirely evil, the elites of
the Dwarves will practice a blood and fire form of sorcery, in
veneration of a giant fire demon entombed in a volcano which they
worship (along with other forms of Jinn warriors and magma
creatures). I've reasoned that this could easily be a goats heart or
something...
The head was inspired by the sorcerer
from Jason and the Argonauts who calls up the skeletons. As things
progress and I work out what I can and can't fit into the one mold
there's a chance I'll make a small alter to go on the base.
Early days on the Stone Golem, he needs
a beard and some weapons/hands. This is around 50mm tall, reckon I'll
get a couple of different arm poses from this.
Achieving a multi pose dynamic with the
arms leaves a lot of unnatural gaps which I'm not happy with: it
might be that the mini gets pinned and glued into the appropriate
pose then a little bit of putty work is required to bulk out the
inner arms (where it connects to the torso)
Great work as always
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of Evil Dwarves, did you see this? http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/2310/401241.page#6672821
ReplyDeleteNow that's a different use for them.
ReplyDeletethese look awesome (as usual) - will they be sold by yourself or through Anvil?
ReplyDeleteoh, and the tank stefmanovic posted the link to is mine btw - just about to start painting it now.
I used the drummer model from the command set, and left the top of the drum in place - with his hands on top of it, it looks like a steering wheel! :-D
I think it unlikely that Anvil will be taking on any more MOTN miniatures but you never know, I think Anvil is breaking into bigger and better things! These will probably be available in limited numbers directly from me (cast in metal).
DeleteAwesome. Take my money!
