This is a mini I sculpted back in May as practice sculpting project, in preparation for the skaven miniature I knew I wanted to create for UK GD later in the year.

I wanted to sculpt a marauder, because there are not very many good or inspiring GW marauder minis, and barbarians are always fun! However, I still tried to keep the sculpt grounded within the GW universe, because I thought I might end up using it as an entry for the single fantasy mini in the OZ GD. But that turned out to be impossible due to the timing of my Europe trip, so instead I finished him off to enter as an Open category entry at OZ GD 07.

He is a little larger in scale than the normal GW minis - he is about 43mm to the eyes. He is a very similar size to the Lathiem mini from Enigma's 'Massive Darkness' range.

For the painting, I tried to create a coherent green/red colour scheme: nearly all the colours used are some sort of shade of either green or red.

There are more pics on my site, as usual/

I hope you like it!

Hmmm. I like it, though not flawless. What bothers me is that he looks cute...

I always seem to give your minis 10 outta 10 and I love the gorgeous paintjob on this...as I usually do, but this time the sculpt has thrown me off a little. It is still incredibly good and I am not sure if it is the camera angle but the right shoulder joint looks out of place. By right shoulder I mean anatomical right....or the one holding the axe. The armpit would look more natural closer to lateral side of where the red shoulder armourplate ends. Still....I would give my left boobie to be able to sculpt like that.

for me your best minis . better than the skaven . The sculpt is very verry good , no problem in the posture and the anatomy for me . The most important is the atmosphere , you managed to create a good atmosphere with this miniature .
