Back again to Darkwater!
If you get back to my previous post on this project, you'll see I had three (six) characters to do.
First one I got done was the centaur. I really didn't like the feathered tiara, and neither did may pal. In this case the solution was pretty obvious:
 |
| You can never go wrong with antlers! |
The original mini has a lot of antler decorations, and it felt quite natural. Hence the "cervitaur" looking. I replaced the tail too with greenstuff, but no other conversions were really needed.
 |
| Antlers in correct position now |
I made two identical versions of the character, and that made it all quite easier:
 |
| Twins! |
Next character proved to be kind of controversial. In the original setting it's a sort of less-than-human member of a tribe in the new Age of Sigmar universe. Apart from removing the back scrubber he carries, I decided to take a totally different approach:
 |
| There's always place for a barbarian in a dungeon game |
However, my pal asked me for something totally different. A fresh approach. I think it would be difficult to guess...
 |
| I see what's happening, yeah... |
 |
| You're face to face with greatness, and it's strange... |
 |
| You don't even know how you feel... |
 |
| (It's adorable!) |
 |
| Well, it's nice to see that humans never change |
 |
| Open your eyes, let's begin... |
 |
| Yes, it's really me, it's Maui |
Well, spare me the rest of the song, please. Right, this is what he asked... this is what he got.
 |
| You're welcome |
So this is my barbarian...
 |
| Big barbarian man or small ogre, I'll let you decide |
 |
| Didn't really know what to paint on that shield |
 |
| And, well... kind of Maui |
 |
| I didn't get the tatoos as I would have liked (oh, my eyes!), but they do their part |
 |
| Cousins! |
Well, after that what else can I offer you? The last character is a druid. I left mine untouched, as the mini just depicts a Jade Wizard:
 |
| Pretty straightforward work, nothing complicated |
I left the good stuff for my mate, who asked me for something diferent again, he asked me if I could have an eye on the mini...
 |
| ...and get a fix |
(OK, the pun only works in English, right)
 |
| I had to paint some stuff before assembling or adding greenstuff |
 |
| But in the end I think I got something |
 |
| I should have used white for the dog. Doh |
Well, here you have both groups:
 |
| Easy conversions |
 |
| Unexpected conversions |
Well, I think this is worth of some final group shots
 |
| A bunch of heroes |
 |
| Yet another one |
Well, first milestone on the game reached!
Though they are just a bunch of minis (statistically speaking), I think they were the hardest to do, as I don't really plan any heavy conversions on the baddies. Those Nurgle minis look really cool to me (with just a few exceptions), so we'll see if I just paint them as they are.
But I believe I'll be having a small summer break before! I'll try to keep it up with your blogs and will definitely be back soon!
Enjoy!
