Longbeards - Finished.

[pate]

<p>I'm finally finished with my first unit from the Dwarf batallion, the Longbeards. I'm pretty satisified with the result. The NMM has been simlplified to speed up the painting process, I still think it looks ok though. </p><p>One dwarf is missing, for various reasons.&nbsp;I still haven't painted the musicians drum, I'll paint that when I paint the next regiment with a drummer for musician.</p><p>Here's the finished result Feel free to comment, all criticism is more than welcome.</p><p><img title="longbeardsiso1.jpg" border="0" alt="longbeardsiso1.jpg" src="http://blog.coolminiornot.com/image.php?id=86947976" width="695" height="478" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img title="longbeardsiso2.jpg" border="0" alt="longbeardsiso2.jpg" src="http://blog.coolminiornot.com/image.php?id=45772734" width="704" height="426" /></p><p>Now I've started on the runelord. Going to push it as hard as I can, just to see were I'm at painting-skill-wise</p>

Very skilful work. NMM looks very well as a natural steel, silver or gold, maybe exept the golden braselets. The gradient between orange and white on them is too sharp. But that's my opinion. Waiting for your Runelord

Thanks Yeah, I totally agree. I just can't ber arsed to fix it, not at the moment atleast They were painted using a rather shitty brush and it was about as much I could achive with it, and it was among the first that I acutally painted. I might freshen it up a bit another day, it will do for now

Lovely NMM on the staff. Something I noticed though is that the blonde (but not the grey) beards look a little odd, possibly because the shading on them is very subtle. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say white undercoat?

They're both painted with white undercoat The reason for them looking different is becuase I did not apply any wash in the process. I was just starting out and wanted two types of beards, unfortunately the blonde didn't turn out as convincing as the grey
