My most recent version of this model, current favorite



Painted for Matt Mercer of Critical Role, I
never found out if he got it

I no longer paint armies, and I loath to do units, but from time to time I will pick up the same model to paint and see how my skills have grown.  Below are some Dwarves I have done, why dwarves you ask? Have you read the name of this blog….nuff said.

2nd Bones attempt at this model

You will hear me bash Reaper  Bones from time to time. I hate their bendy weapons  and loss of detail.  While I am not the biggest fan I am super cheap. If I can get a figure cheap, I will jump on it. Also some of the Werner Klocke sculpts have translated over very well to the Bones line. Freje Fangbreaker 77073 is a great Bones model, it lost very little of the detail of its metal counterpart, and does not suffer from bendy weapon syndrome. This model is always a joy to paint.

I think I did this one in late 2014

The other figure is an Avatars of War Dwarf Slayer. I always loved the GW Slayers so when I see other minis emulate the style I know I want to own them. The best part of these Avatars of War sculpts is the fact I have a contact and can get them relatively cheap. I have painted him a ton of times. Here are my two most recent iterations. Please note I actually love how the one on the square base turned out and very rarely do I like my own paintjobs.
