Hobby Stuff

  I enjoy painting miniatures.

As you can see from the picture above, this is a multi-step process. What you see there is a nearly completed Dragon alongside a couple of units in the early stages. I like to separate my figures into the units they will be in if and when my brothers and I go back to playing Warhammer.
Mixed in are a couple of random completed guys.

The red and orange guy is completes as is the charging knight.
Simply

another angle of those two figures.

Standing alone

is some sort of cleric. Sadly, the camera I have has no better than 3x Optical Zoom. Not good enough to really show the detail. 
And this one is just too dark to see anything at all.

 I wish

the camera was better able to show detail. Orange and black are the primary colors, but I use some black, gold, silver, copper, and so forth. If you look low beneath the red robes you can see some of the silver but that is about all the visible detail.These

are actually the dwarf units once they were completed. The primary color is the silver of their armor with red trim. Their weapons are also silver with gold highlights. Their pendants are copper, their leather brown, their shoes black, and so forth.Simply another view showing the entire army. Well, all except the cannon I am still working on.

Here you can see a bit more of the detail: their yellow hair, the copper shield, the gold, black and copper instrument.  I don't think it shows the shields well which is unfortunate. 

The figure on the right center standing alone is the dwarf commander, the one slightly to his left the troll slayer. I deliberately changed up how I painted the troll slayer. Hopefully the detail shows. Here is a close-up of just the two of them, but it is not well lighted.

These From the back; yes, you have just been mooned by a miniature.

The figures below are Dwarf Thunderers. As you can see, I try to do quite a bit with highlights. The gun barrels are black, the sights are gold, the handle wooden brown. The helmets are primarily silver, the horns copper, the banding copper with gold rivets. Their beards are yellow, their gloves red, and so forth.

Another look at them, closer but darker.

The miners also have some nice detail. Look at the lantern. Gold lid, black iron, yellow lights...and the instrument to the right has some nice gold detailing. The theory behind all the gold, copper and silver is the Dwarf army is a group defending mines and thus would show signs of wealth. Besides, when grouped on the field, they look smurfing awesome. 

I wish this picture wasn't so dark as these guys are some of my favorites. Their axe blades are primarily silver but the runes etched into them I painted gold. It looks really cool. When you can see them, that is...
