War Crow Egael Finnbreddil
This is the first War Crow mini I've painted. He looked to me to be more of an Elf Barbarian, and I didn't feel like painting him as a Dark Elf. The armor is done with the NMM (non-metallic metal) technique. The tartan on the kilt was originally going to be more complex, but after just these few colors, I thought any more would be too busy. I wanted to try a subtle design on the inside of the cape, which is always a nice touch when other people do it, and I thought it turned out okay. I got the idea for the face tattoos from the Slaine RPG books, and embellished the axe haft with some freehand. The base is a combination of Sculpy and cork. I carved my own design into the Sculpy.
