3 Busty Dwarves and a big black dog

Update

Here's the ladies after being cleaned and undercoated. Given that I want to paint them in half decent flesh tones, (there IS a lot of flesh there :-)  I undercoated them in white to make any colours brighter.
There's also a dwarf troll slayer that may or may not end up donating one of his axes, but I really like this figure, so I'm tempted to paint him up and hide him away, but only if I can find another axe to use.

Theres a marked difference in the scale of the heads on the 3 lady dwarves, which I think is a feature of the brand of figs, but I'm not sure. All I know is they are called 'Khor' dwarfs, although given the over sized bosom, they might as well be 'kwoooaaarrr!!!' dwarves, given in a 1970's Sid James voice.

3 Busty Dwarves and a big black dog

Ive been asked to paint up an interesting female dwarf for my mates wife for her D&D 3.0 game. The fig is one of a trio, all of which Ive been given, so i might just do all three :-)
Her character also has a Doberman as a pet companion, so I'm painting up an old blink dog fig I have in doberman colours for her to use.

After soaking the old painted figs in a cheap version dettol cleaner for 3 days, a scrub with a toothbrush drags off all the old paint. A hearty rinse with the garden hose sprays off any residue. Do this outside if you can, and wear a mask, as dettol can make you feel very sick if you inhale it for many mins up close.

I'll leave them in fresh water for a few days to really get any lingering disinfectant off. I'll then leave them to dry for a good while, but they'll still smell of dettol, but don't worry.

Rhino Done

Managed to get a few hours free last couple evenings, and after some heavy drybrushing (for weathering and sand/dust), washing and detail painting, I got my first rhino done. It was a slightly worse for wear eBay rescue, with things glued to it and some damage. I took off the extra junk (little green demons stuck on...not good) and managed to turn the damage into rusty weapon damage scars. I also turned 2 holes (one is out of shot in the pictures) into Melta Gun fire damage and made them glowing white hot and shiny 'wet' looking with a little 'Ardcoat glaze.  I also added 'Ardcoat to the lights to make them look like glass.
I'm a million miles from being good at this, but I'm rather pleased with my results. Although the pictures don't really do it justice, as I couldn't quite get the light correct.

Rhino Started

I got a 40k Rhino from eBay. It was a very old type, that had been 'converted' into a chaos one. It was thickly painted in red and bronze.

I cut off any daft items, and sprayed it black. I then added a few spikes, and gave it a little dry brushing in silver and grey for metal and dust.
Not looking bad so far for a battered old model!
I intend to add more details, and some shell scarring, and a Melta hole on the front.

Get some!

Made a start on this daft idea. I got a load of random bits of different marines, and a load of guns, and intend to make a "mental marine", waving lots of guns, standing on a pile of skulls.
I'll probably call him "Get Some!" and paint that on his base.
The pieces are coming together....

Finished Cleric

Finished 'Evender', my D&D 3.0 Cohort.

Zombie Hunter

Repainted this guys after about 25 years. Used the new citadel paints. They really are amazing. The jump in quality is quite markedly obvious.
I gave him some modern MTP camo trousers too.
I use him for 40k and Modern games, and recently as a zombie survivalist in GW Shop games useing 40k rules.

Undercoated Chaos

Undercoated my Chaos Marines. Using the very technical "double sided tape on a bit of wood" technique. They came up beautifully. And very easy to do on the wood too.

40k Chaos Obliterators

 Putting together some Obliterators for 40k. What a nightmare. Very fiddly.

 

 

Old figs Completed.

Dug out some figs I've had for maybe 25 years, but never finished properly and got them done. Some needed more work than others, but its so nice just to have finished them.
