07/2012 Competition Entry - Shooty Dwarf

Posted by Snugg Thistlehammer , in Competition Entries 29 July 2012 · 325 views

Hi stumpy siblings!

This is my entry for the July painting competition, the theme is "shooty dwarf".  This particular dwarf is from Black Hat Miniatures "Shattered Isles" range which I believe was originally a Crusader model.  I needed a replacement model for my thunderers' musician as I had been using the horn blower from my Dragon Company regiment which, co-incidentally, I painted for the December 2010 competition.

So when I bought a few Coat D' Arms paints to try them out, in the same order I picked up the command group that included this model.

After taking these pictures, I'm determined to replace my crappy Citadel yellow which to cover anything has to be glooped on.

Also, when I was about to take pictures of it yesterday, the horn broke off in my hands.  I had to quickly glue it back on so I could take photos for this competition.  I guess I'll have a go at pinning it afterwards.

Anyway, here are the pictures!

JIm.

Hey, it's the old crew! Thanks guys!

I really like those Black Hat dwarves. If I didn't already have a mountain of unpainted metal I'd probably get more of them. They scale perfectly with the old Marauder dwarves both in size and style.

I wasn't really very happy with the cloth; I've got a pot of "Nuln Oil" to replace my empty "Badab Black" and it seems alot "sticker" if that makes sense, like it's got a higher viscosity or something. Whatever it is, I'm finding it much harder to work with. :(
That sounds annoying, is it a wash or what kind of paint is it?

I only visit the forum occasionally these days - I'm trying to power through painting my non-dwarf minis and I figure there wasn't much reason to post them here :)

When I start getting new Dwarf minis (I spent way too much money of the AoW kickstarter and the dwarf adventurers) I hope to be around here more!

By the way I like the Guardsman in the background of your picture. Do you have a painted army of them? If so I'd love to see a few pictures of them.

Yeah, it's a wash. Acording to the comparison chart it's the new equivalent of Badab Black but it's thicker, or darker, or something. Maybe it's the same and I just got a bad one or some such. I might try adding a little water and see what happens.

And as for the guardsman, yes I do have an army of them! It's unpainted though, I've only got a couple of test troopers painted in basic colours to test out my colour scheme. Like my dwarves, it's a repaint project waiting to start. I've sworn not to start it until I've finished the dwarves though so sorry mate... no pics :(
Aw :(
