I\'m back with a couple of new minis

[Corvus]

I think it\'s been about 4 months since I last visited this forum, but I\'m back now

I checked the top posters and noticed that I am still ranked 11th, not bad after a 4 month break I think First mission: reach 1000 posts

Some of you might have seen some of the newer minis appear on my site or CMON, but here are some highlights for all of you who haven\'t seen any of my (recent) work yet. Here we go (By the way: it\'s all Rackam )

First of all I\'ve continued working on my Drune army. After painting up 3 regular Drune Persecutors, I decided to paint up the special VPC edition on a bit higher quality level:
http://www.coolminiornot.com/50758. The base is made out of cork bits and the snow is made out of grinded salt. The blending on the skin is very smooth, but the picture didn\'t turn out so well (I\'ll buy new lights (white) pretty soon).

A better picture, but a bit lower quality paintjob: Corwyn: http://www.coolminiornot.com/51838. I tried to experiment with lighter highlightings on the cloak, but they turned out to be a bit too hard in some places. The sword and the goblet turned out pretty well. Anyways, this is a real eye-catcher on the tabletop and I\'m quite pleased with the picture quality.

If you want to see more Drunes, then please visit my homepage, but these are qaming quality pieces, so I didn\'t post them on CMON because I don\'t expect them to get high scores.

The next minis I want to show you are the Confrontation Dwarves I\'m painting for my friend\'s army. They are gaming quality pieces, but I think the army looks great on the tabletop. Here are some those minis:
- Armurier Nain: http://www.coolminiornot.com/49116
- Lothan: http://www.coolminiornot.com/55490
- Thermo-Guerrier: http://www.coolminiornot.com/55491

Last month I was contacted by a person who wanted me to paint everything Hybrid. So I started out witht the basic set first. So far I\'ve finished the Loge De Hod, more minis will be coming soon. Here \'s a pic of those guys: http://www.coolminiornot.com/55285. Again, these are gaming quality pieces, but I\'m quite happy about the color scheme and the bases.

Since I am doing loads of commission work lately, I only had time to do one showcase model lately (but I\'m working on some more): a Goule D\'Acheron: http://www.coolminiornot.com/53252

I still am surprised about the score of the Ghoul, because this is one of my best minis. IMO the blending is smooth, the base is cool, and the NMM on the swords is very tidy. But I think it\'s because of the simplicity of this mini (only two main colors) that its rating is so low.

Anyway, please feel free to comment on my minis and rate them, and I hope to be back here very soon with more stuff

Cheers,

-Gerrie.

Welcome back Gerry!

Wondered where you\'d got to. My, you have been busy. The Drune is wonderful.
The Ghoul...all I can say is that the photo can\'t do it any favours...The NMM on the swords looks dodgy rather than \'tidy\' in the photos you have posted...IM(humble)O
Love the commissioned Hybrid stuff, very cool

 

[supervike]

DAMN!

While some of us (namely me) are content on just posting in the forums, some others (namely you) have been working on perfecting their painting skills...

Very good work there!

 

[Corvus]

Thanks for the comments so far guys.

By the way Steve, when do you think you\'ll reach the 3000 posts mark?

I\'ve also noticed a lot of users added their rank to their signature, so I\'ve done this also

 

[AlexDaKid]

How do you add your rank?! I don\'t have one but I\'d love to know how to get it on there when I do have one?

BTW I love the Hybrid work. How the hell is it rated so low? Damn NMM loving Freaks?!

 

[airhead]

Corvus, welcome back. Nice work - even what you call \"tabletop\".

Alex, first you have to have 5 minis with 50 votes. On the main page (www.coolminiornot.com) check your \"account\" on the right side.

 

[finn17]

Ah! you have been away...

...and missed my debut as finn18:flip: If you added his posts to mine, I\'d be about two days away from triple freakiness:flip:

 

[U4-Welcome]

Coincidences, coincidences

Just last week I was wondering about where you\'d gone... and there you are ! Nice minis, too ! :flip:

 

[Corvus]

post number 1000!



I\'m now officially a posting freak

Thanks to everyone for the comments. I\'ve just finished the 4 Pest Of Flesh minis from the Hybrid set and I\'ll be posting them pretty soon.

 

[dauber22]

Congradulations...

and welcome back! I\'d noticed the mini-flood of new figures from you and hoped it meant you might be returning to us

The minis look really nice. We can tell what you\'ve been up to while away.

 

[Dragonsreach]

Congratulations on joining the ranks of us freaks. It\'s nice to see you back in the fold once again.

Now one question: Where\'s Tuubje nowadays? We\'re missing his everchanging Avatar.

That\'s, right, I\'ve done a lot of painting the last couple of months. And I\'ve also been quite active on the English Confrontation forums (400 posts there, almost all in the \"Creative Workshop\" forum )

I think he\'s busy in his store, it\'s been a while since I talked to him too...

 

[tooshy]

Yay!

Hi Gerrie - long time no see, no chat etc. I\'ve been away myself for a while, but it\'s good to be back huh?

Love the figures, the Drunes are cool and I love the Hybrid stuff you\'re doing. I\'ve done my voting

I guess you\'ve been moving house, or at least gearing yourself up for moving, hence your absence? Anyhoo, it\'s great to see you back again. Just need to pry Tuubje away from his busy shop and get him back here too
