D&D repaints

Here's a few D&D miniature repaints that I did for a friend a few years ago. Some were complete overhauls, while others were not as involved. I think that they came out pretty good, and they show that the line of figs from Wotc were pretty versatile and generally well-sculpted. Just more of my recommendation for miniatures on the cheap, with the end result being a good-looking fig, as long as you're willing to do a little work.

Cleric: not too much to do to this one.

Cultist: pretty much a complete overhaul (totally different colors).

Knight: not too much to do to this one, either.

Orc: a fair amount of re-working on this one.

Tannuruk: Seem to recall another decent amount of repainting for this one, as well.

All in all, I had fun re-painting these guys. The line of D&D figs really have a lot of good sculpts, and I have a fair amount that I'd like to re-paint (someday).

Warlord Krong

While in the middle of painting up some Orlocks (well, beginning to paint up half of them, anyway), I thought that I'd put up a pic of my take on the great (and massive) Warlord Krong! A great Jack Kirby inspired extraterrestrial conqueror. Just one of the many miniatures that makes the Superfigs line (in my opinion, anyway) one of the most unique and characterful lines of Superhero figures.

I decided to go with a fairly monochromatic color scheme, with cooler, blue-ish tones. I also tried to go for more of a higher contrast look than I normally do, hopefully adding to the impact of the overall figure.

Superfigs!

The latest Superfig that I've completed painting is none other than Ape Austin! I went for a pretty standard color scheme on this one - easy and effective. A great character, and a great Bob Naismith sculpt! Man - that line has a lot of great and characterful miniatures.

I'm still working on those Wookies (procrastinating on the metal areas), and have started the Orlocks. I'm just really slow, and a lot of times I see a fig that's been sitting half-done on my table for what seems like an eternity (i.e., Ape Austin), and I finally finish the damn thing!

Reaper Ogre

I think that ogres are pretty cool, and I'm a sucker for well-sculpted ones. This Ogre from Reaper's Bones line certainly fits the bill. I prefer the plastic ogres to the metal ones: not only are they cheaper, but they won't chip or break when they get dropped (not that anyone ever drops them, no...). I really enjoyed painting up this one. I have another Bones ogre half done, and will finish it in between painting Orlocks, hopefully.

LotR Gimli

Here's Gimli from GW's Lord of the Rings line. I tried to follow the paints as described in one of the old White Dwarf magazines (more or less). I still have an over-abundance of old White Dwarf mags, and should get rid of a lot of them, but I'll keep all of the ones with LotR articles, regardless. The fig is based in the old style, and maybe I'll get around to changing it one of these days. Great fig, though!

P.S. I'm currently working on Star Wars Imperial Assault figs generic Wookie and Chewbacca. And I finally finished building the Orlock gang - what a royal pain that was! They are all built and primed, and I plan on starting them next week, after the Wookies are finished! All I need now is to figure out a paint scheme for them...

Ogre Mage

I finally finished up this excellent Ogre Mage from Reaper Miniatures. This is a great fig that oozes character and is dynamically sculpted. I have a soft spot for ogres, and I simply love this fig!
