Huntarr Aliens
15 mm scale
It's been a challenging couple of weeks in parenthood, but I managed to squeeze in a few minutes here and there to finish these mean boys off.
The figures themselves: Honestly not my most careful paint jobs ever,
but I like em! They have the "feel" I was going for, and as a bonus I
managed to not break the one guy's spear. I swear I thought it would
never survive... The chieftain's cloak is supposed to be some sort of
scaly reptilian hide, I'm not sure if it's from a
BIG animal, or a bunch of
Garn skins sewn together ;D
Basing:
I'm still not sure about the green plants, but I think the forest floor
effect turned out really well. It's not out-of-scale either which is
good, because I've used this method for 28mm minis as well.
Very nice paintjob!
ReplyDeleteThey look great,can't believe that's only 15mm!!
ReplyDeleteLovely work. I would like to know more about how you made the bases
ReplyDeleteVery nice. I really like the way you still provide contrast across a mini but still keep the look dark. (I know I keep saying that, but it's one of my favorite things about your painting.)
ReplyDeleteIncredible paintjobs!
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone likes these :) As I mention in my post, hobby time is scarce lately, but I'll see if I can whip up a little tutorial for doing this base style, and post it here.
ReplyDeleteI can only echo what has gone before-terrific painting Allison. I really like these figures, and have ordered some just on the strength of these posts- thanks very much! (I have finally finished painting all of my Riflethings in your grey/white colour scheme and I'm fairly pleased with the result, although they're not a patch on yours). What colour did you use on the flesh of the Huntaars? It looks a bit like GW's Vermin Brown or similar.
ReplyDeleteGunrunner - just GW Bleached Bone washed with a dark brown/black mix :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for that- I'll give it a go! i've left some replies to your comments on my blog- thanks for looking in.
