Back to the grind this week with four offerings right down the middle of the plate. These and next week's are basically what passes as speed paints as I get these days.
First up we have Hagar, Dwarf Fighter and Durok, Dwarf Ranger from Reaper both in bones white. I've spent a lot of pixels on decrying the difficulties with bones white material and these guys have all of that in spades. The molds are soft and really don't flatter the molds at all. Looking closely at these shots, I'm thinking that Hagar's torso covering shouldn't be a breastplate. I also note that Durok's cloak looks like it's shiny but it's actually just patchy. Not sure if that's better but they'll look fine in my small squad of Dwarves. They were done in something like four hours for the two of them.
Next up we have
Erick, Paladin Initiate and
Alandin, Elf Paladin, the former as normal bones white, the latter from Bones 4. Erick is pretty much what he looks like and, yes, I missed an opportunity to do some freehand on his shield--speed paint here. Alandin would have been painted much earlier but I glued the wrong arm in the wrong place and then convinced myself I was missing a piece only to realize my mistake not super long ago. I painted Alandin as a gal because I thought it fit the sculpt better but I don't think that was the sculptor's intent. I like cheesecake-y fantasy pinups as much as the next guy on the Internet but I feel that normal practical armor non-boobplate martial gals are sorely under-represented in the hobby. We'll get a nice contrast next week so tune in then!
