Let me know what you think....remember...I am not a shader and I did use a gloss coat that is too shiny off th flash...but I like them.
 
I'm telling ya, one 'dip' in wood stain and these models will look 10x better.

(Will have to be dipped prior to the gloss coat though)
 
Understood warlock... but these were painted and glossed prior to that advice...

Perhaps I'll try it for the unfinished Barbarians sets.

Woodstain? I paint alot of minis and have never heard of that. Do tell!

Not something I've ever tried, but I can see it might give an effect similar to an ink wash over the model.
 
One point I want to make clear...I didn't post to say....'hey, look at how well (or poor) I painted...I posted most to show ideas for Barbarians, which was a major topic - Barbarian Mini's. I threw in the rest cause I was at it...
 
yeah, those are all great miniatures for use in a conan game. I recgonize alot of them from my local gaming store.

Thanks for taking the time to post them.

Because Shemites just can't be trusted.
 
Thanks Rabid. I bought most of them from my Friendly Local Game Stores. I'm good enough with my painting that I'm happy, even though they'd never "sell" for anything or "win" anything. But my group and I beat them up pretty good and I believe it enhances a game like Conan to see how the combatants maneuver in melee.
 
You've been busy. I like the minatures. Thanks for sharing with the rest of us.

What brand are you using for the "unfinished barbarians"? They look perfect for Nordheimers.
 
I just have to state for the record that Arkobla has the best mini's for our rping sessions! Everything seems to fit just right wether it was something he bought specifically for a certain session or it just happened that way. I don't know how he does it... if I painted that many of something so small, I'd be blind by now! :)

As for shading.... its not everything. I was an art major in college and not all schools of art rely so heavily on shading. (Just check out stuff done in the last century and a half.) For mini's, I think it all depends on the person painting. Besides, as he stated, they are not for sale or up to win any awards... they are used for fun. Arkobla puts his heart into his work and it shows. We as players appreciate all his work.

Ok.. done being an art goob. lol ;)
