Another side-project - miniatures from the Dungeon Twister board game, painted as a (late) birthday gift for a friend.
The game is about two teams of diverse adventurers and creatures who got teleported by an evil wizard into a dungeon - after which they try to escape while fighting each other. Each team is composed of the same 8 types - each miniature is duplicated and only color makes them different. This proved to be a unique painting challenge - to paint 8 miniatures using yellow as the main color and then paint the same 8 miniatures using a blue scheme. You can see the comparison below, on the Mekanorc, my favorite miniature from the whole bunch:

The miniature themselves are somewhat hit-and-miss - some of them are very good, while others have weird proportions or anatomy. The quality differs a bit too, but it wasn't anything too noticeable. Still, the sculpts are clear and the detail is sharp, so the work on them was pleasant enough, especially seeing that I went through them relatively quickly. My wife also helped with the base colors, so that's something new too!
I also wanted to mention that I never encountered such hard-to-work resin ever in my life - paint was getting scraped off the miniatures after the slightest touch, worse than with metal minis! That's why I varnished them pretty thickly afterward, hopefully they'll be able to survive handling on the tabletop.
Here is the Blue Team:

Widzę, że fajnie jest mieć Ciebie jako przyjaciela ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper malowanie!
A Ty masz na swoim blogu całego taga na prezenty, więc nawzajem ;) Dzięki!
DeleteNajbardziej podoba mi się efekt wyjścia ze ściany. Reszta zresztą też. :)
ReplyDeleteTen efekt to była ciekawa odmiana od pozostałych, dość 'straightforward' figurek :) Dzięki!
DeletePięknie udało się odróżnić od siebie obie ekipy utrzymując jednolitą kolorystykę, nie sprawiając przy tym, żeby ludki z osobna były nudne. Za przedmówcą pochwalę świetlisty efekt na murze.
ReplyDeleteDzięki! Cieszę się, że się podobają, choć robiłem ich trochę szybciej niż zazwyczaj ;)
