Tom yes the Ilyad minis are resin and very good quality casts they are too.
This is my first time painting a resin mini other than Forgeworld that is.
Stef I got these from green stuff but I know that Frenchkid will get them for anyone that wants some here is a link to their site though it is in French so you\'ll need to understand a little of the language to get anywhere with it.

@Tim : the orc is starting out really nice. Have you thought of doing tatoos or war paints to take advantage of the big skin surfaces?
@stef686 : Ilyad ships to the UK via their web site. If you have trouble filling out the order form, I could translate the field labels that you don\'t understand.

@Cedric I have given tattoos some consideration and if I can come up with a satisfactory design then I will go for it, we\'ll see.

@Tim that is rocking
@Tim that is rocking
almost there, several weeks later.
a few of you gave some opinions when I having some momentary hesitations about color usage on this guy, and now that he\'s nearly done, I thought I\'d share.
I\'m pretty pleased with nearly every part of him, and its the first reaper fig i\'ve done in years.
i should have him finished and photographed for posting after work tonight, whee!
@rev: the face on that fanatic looking guy of your looks lucious and rich, I\'m very interested to see more of that.
@klute: that is a super cool sculpt.
@wolf_fang: thanks for the tip, i may see if i can rustle one of those up. . .it might be a little large, but I\'ve been looking for a crow or raven to include with some norse figures for a while. . .we\'ll see.

Nice Blackfly
@Tracy.....looking good.I would never attempt that one.The skin on him is too \"blue\" for me.Of course that might not be finished so excuse me.I would be adding another highlight with a grey/tan tone to it to get it away from the turquoise look he has.Hope that helps?
Im feeling sick just looking at all that detail :|~

Thanks.I love Cindy\'s stuff and think theres not enough cute little critters around.I wasn\'t aiming at any style really it just sort of evolved from starting as a badger.Im going to do more around the theme though.
I put him in the main voting site if anyone would like a look.

I posted this in the mini swap thread but I thought it would also be ok to post it here it is a work in progress after all. I am having a great time painting this mini and all three minis that were sent to me are hopefully going to end up in a diorama time allowing.
Oh well back to the paints as I only have a couple of weeks to get the whole thing finished.

Didn\'t have time yesterday, but wanted to post today. I think the green on this is really vibrant and smoothly done. With the work on the face it\'s really beginning to lift now. A welcome return to form (re. prev posted image, etc...).

Thanks guys I think that when a mini appeals to your taste then it kind of drags out a better job from you than one that possibly doesn\'t if that makes sense. That is to say the last mini though was a quality cast was not one that I would have chosen to paint myself.
To answer the question of deeper shading, it was shaded with a wash of Dark Angels Green and that was as dark as I wanted this to go, I know this is supposed to be a Black Orc but I felt that a lighter tone would work better.

New Edward Dumond WIP
Here is my next project. I had finally gotten around to getting some of the new Reaper Master Paints, and wanted to give them a try. Ed is still in the early stages, but what do you all think so far? I have just started shading him, although the feather is largely done. I was thinking about putting him on a thin layer of greenstuff in a cobblestone fashion for the base. Any suggestions on what I should freehand on the back underneath the leather shoulderpads?

Hi All! Here is one of my many many WIP - white wolf champion- I\'m painting whole regiment of those. I wanted to give him a different feel than others knights so thats why golden armor. Ohh yes..anybody know how to paint a nice looking white fur??
@Tidoco 2222- this skin is amazing really great, although I though that those orcs in Cronicles of the dark moon have black skin...

@Tidoco2222--I like the skin and the purple tongue is a nice touch!
@Cukier--Excellent start. The armor is looking great, very good highlighting. For the white fur, white is your maximum highlight of course. Then gradually shade down the recesses with grey or a blue grey to get the contrast.

@ Cukier I like the mini so far it is looking very good. Yes you are right they are painted black but that is not the way I wanted to go with this one. I wanted the classic greenskin look to it and went for it. I do not have any background on these stories as my French is very rusty after all I have not realy used it since leaving school over 20 years ago so I must confess my ignorance.
@ Jabberwocky than you and your mini I think is goin to look great let me know how you get on with the Reaper paints as I am thinking of trying these out.

@ Tidocco : I have already tried out Reaper Master Series paints. I must admit they`re very good. The skintones seem to be a bit too light IMHO, but very nice. Also I think that when dry they`re more durable (I came to this conclusion after cleaning my palette). Very good coverage.
Even though the bottles are smaller than Vallejo I like them - there`s something put inside to make mixing easier (I heard it`s small metal skull) and the nozzle (???) hasn`t clogged so far (I had this problem with some of vallejo`s especially white).
looks i`ll be shifting my paint range to about half Vallejo and half Master Series paints with some really minor exceptions(likemy beloved citadel snakebite leather ). well , at least unless i find some other excellent paints (got to try wargames foundry).
