Title: Another First 10mm thread
Post by: arabianknight on 20 August 2010, 12:53:12 PM
I suppose it's a credit to Pendraken that I keep seeing this thread title :)

As the label on the tin says - my first 10mm figures.

I picked up the dungeon pack so funnily enough they are from this.

I started with the easy starter skellingtons:

and have moved on to the goblins:

paints, etc detailed on by blog post : http://weeblokes.blogspot.com/2010/08/first-10mm-miniatures.html (http://weeblokes.blogspot.com/2010/08/first-10mm-miniatures.html)

Having looked at some online 10mm pictures I'm not sure if the green ink skin is bright enough to stand out at this scale. The actual dungeon pieces may need to be painted up so that I can gauge it. (well they need painted up anyway)

any comments / advice much appreciated.

cheers

How did you get the grain effect on the skelys spears and bows or is it allready carved in?

The wood grain is already sculpted in.

I only white basecoated and applied a coat of Vallejo Sepia ink to colour.

You know Leon that if you made these skeletons with guns they would make good "not Terminators".

There's one with a crossbow that could be easily converted.

Hmmmm, a slight delay in picture posts. Had a bit of a push over the last couple of weeks to get dungeon stuff painted up to justify ordering a booster set for Carronade in Falkirk. Here's the painted proof of the (Deadly) pudding so that you that you know that the order was OK  ;)

Dungeon Monsters:

Heroes:

Still getting the hang of painting at this scale  :-\

I must find the time to post pics of my dungeon - finished it weeks ago, but have been a tad busy :(

My compliments.  Very nice works. I like your skeletons, very effective. Works on dungeeon sets and furnitures should be very funny.

I like the look of these - nice and bright figs to contrast the grey dungeon.

One suggestion, maybe add a little sand to the bases to blend the cast on figure bases with the washers.

Thanks for the comments, everyone.

Couldn't agree more about the stark bases needing some sand, etc. I've just left them until I'd finished all the set (still a few zombies to do) - I hate basing!  I-)
