ahoj!

Finally back to painting after the Christmas break

On my desk currently there are:
- Orc Warboss ? only the boar is finished, next step are the metallics

- a unit of Dwarf Slayers ? here I began with the hair, so 33% of each mini is finished

. The dwarf with double handed axe is one of my first attempts to paint NMM.

Please share your opinions!

you have to come up with a shorter nick, czlowiek.morze

sometimes - short is good. like a short comment: more contrast!

I like the brown-reddish colour of the Slayer hair, better then bright 'everybody can see me in the dark' you usually see.

What I don't like is the tiger motiff on the boar.

@nameless - I suggest "cz.m" or "sea.man"

I think contrast is never a bad thing

I'd suggest some more shadows on the hair and beards of slayers, and then glazing them with an even coat of orange or warm brown color to unify the colors a bit. The sculpt is good there so it shouldn't be a problem.

As for the chipped paint on the boar, I think it doesn't look very convincing. I think you could check the tips I posted in Gareth's showcase thread. Or maybe ork tanks in Benathai's gallery?

I agree with Mahon about the battle damage, its not convincing, but i think a few touches here and there it will look alot better. I really like what you're doing with the dwarf hair tho, i think they will look really good. Great stuff

than you for all the tipps!
unfortunately next update is going to be in 2 weeks time, when I`m back from skiing madness

@mahon
I found your tips in Gareth`s thread. I`ll try to use them.

@skrit
I don`t know how actually could I add to the boar`s skin. I`ll try to think of something.
