Hello to all!

I wish I would to know if it\'s only an impression of mine, but everytime generulpoleaxe publish a miniature, a million of sniper destroy it... :no:


I\'ve seen this little and marvellous dwarf with an average of 6,7 and i was very sad... it\'s so nice and in a beautiful atmosphere!

I think here my friend gene has realized the true spirit of this old and genuine citadel miniature, and i like it so much!
I\'ve also tried to buy it for my girlfriend, she adore this little dwarf! lol

What do you think about it?

It seems to me that there is a bit of angry with his miniatures... look at his gallery, it\'s an amazing painter!
I\'ve this sethin of him on my showcase, and i ensure is one of the best sethin!

I\'ve voted on this one and I gave it a seven and a half. It does look good but in the photo it\'s hard to make out any detail on the axe and the beard looks a little flat compared to his standard bearer say. That said, I\'ve checked out the gallery and agree there are some wonderful pieces in there, all of very high standard. This may just be a case of the photo quality not being as good as the actual painting.

I am so sick of people crying sniper every time a mini they like isn\'t scoring what they want.

This is a pretty good but not fantastic dwarf. The metals look a bit flat, as does the beard. The eyes are poorly defined (could be the quality of photo but how am I meant to judge on anything except the image in front of me). The red doesn\'t look that well blended to me.
I would vote it a 7.

at the end of the day, wether it\'s photography, painting or the miniature someone doesn\'t like. they can vote with any score they choose.

i would pefer low scores to have comments left, that way i can improve or at least have a closer look at what they mean.

I think that sometimes the mini itself works against you. I would vote a 7 on this particular mini as there is not enough contrast for my taste. Everything is neat and tidy and painted well, but i feel the light colours need more shading and the dark colours need to be highlighted - it seems more of a gaming piece. The base is very nice though.

I think it would be difficult to score this particular miniature much higher though, no matter how good the paint-job

@TyronMagda - out of curiosity what do you think it should be scoring?

Your thread says
\"I wish I would to know if it\'s only an impression of mine, ...\"

If you don\'t want opinions then don\'t ask for them.

The reality is if you want to discuss the merits of a figure you don\'t start by accusing everyone who scores it lower than you of being a sniper.

I must say that it\'s a simple dwarf, but i like the atmosphere, reminds me the true genuine spirit of old citadel miniatures...
I\'m above all a collector, even if i\'ve worked two years in a famous gallery of contemporary art... but now i\'m teaching math and phys and therefore i\'m out of art! ???
I don\'t see only the technique on a piece, but above all his spirit and i like very much it\'s atmosphere! :rolleyes:
For my taste is a dream, but with an outward eye i think it\'s deserve a 8.
However not 6,5 ... 6,5 is for a simple gaming miniature on my opinion!
At least 7,5...
Not to offend anyone, but take a search with key \"dwarf\" ... i\'ve seen dwarf less beautiful to 8.0 and more...
Also my little and loved girlfriend has done his dwarf:
http://www.coolminiornot.com/128556
it\'s at 7,7 and she would love to exchange this + euros for gene\'s dwarf! lol

However it was only a comment of mine, nothing more... and it\'s not the dwarf the problem, but the entire gallery of gene... i think it\'s a great painter and deserve a lot more:
But i can wrong however , even if i\'m still sure that time will give me reason! lol
taking a look of his gallery i\'ve seen also his vampire at low average, and for me it\'s a great conversion and beautiful miniature!

However it\'s only my opinion, i\'m not god! lol

I\'m a mathematic, i know that there were a lot of people who put 4 or 3, so i\'ve talked about snipers!

Sorry if it isn\'t true and I offend anyone...

i simply like this dwarf and have seen it lowered till 6,5 by scores like 3 or 4 that seem to be more a snipering action than a vote! :)

I think it\'s scoring slightly high.
It\'s got character, but the painting is, as described above, flat.

Old stuff will never rank as highly as new stuff. Check out saxon angel if you don\'t believe me. She has some of the best old citadel minis on the site.
