Originally primed with two coats of "Vallejo" Heavy Sienna, the quartet were generously drenched in "The Army Painter" Strong Tone Quickshade and later dry-brushed using (more) "Vallejo" Heavy Sienna, as well as (the somewhat lighter) "Vallejo" Heavy Brown. I then 'picked out' their straggly beards with a combination of "Vallejo" Heavy Green and "Citadel" Biel-Tan Green.
All of the humanoid-shaped shrubs' eyes were 'dotted' using a tiny dollop of "Vallejo" Heavy Ochre". Whilst the creatures' backs, which are riddled with tiny toadstools, had all this emerging fungi pigmented in "Vallejo" Heavy Red and later shaded in "Citadel" Carroburg Crimson.

Those are some great looking entlings, Simon. Their pose makes me thing, 'Get off my lawn!' which kinda works in this setting. The bark effect is great and I like what you did with both their toadstools and their beards - groovy minis and thanks for sharing!
I had never heard of cartoon scale before.
ReplyDeleteYour grumpy, fist-shaking ents look great.
Thanks Stuart. "Toon Realms" are new to me too, but I do love their range and hopefully you'll be seeing more of their minis soon :-)
DeleteI like a good treeman!
ReplyDeleteCheers Barks. Yewan Grove The Treeman should be finished soon :-)
DeleteGreat work Simon. They look like how I felt getting out of bed thus morning!
ReplyDeleteLOL Ray. They are a grumpy bunch ;-)
DeleteNicely done Simon!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ray!
DeleteGreat looking mini ents!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain :-)
DeleteAn entirely treemendous entry Simon :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Tamsin!! :-)
DeleteWhat smashing little figures, never heard of them before but they certainly do look grand!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Jamie. I only encountered the range the other week myself, and picked up a few lines for the AHPC.
DeleteVery original models! I like the painting
ReplyDeleteCheers Anibal :-)
DeleteNice work Simon! They remind me of old Games Workshop Wood Elf Dryad miniatures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. There is an old skool vibe about them.
DeleteGreat to have you back at it Blaxx, I was wondering what box of weirdness you would bring forth. These grumpy "entlings" are just wonderful - I'm pretty sure that I've seen a similar expression and pose on Curt after a bad dice roll.
ReplyDeleteCheers Peter, very much appreciated indeed :-) Having not met Curt in person, I shall have to take your word for it!! LOL!!
DeleteI resemble that remark...
DeleteGreat to see you back in this nice gardening extravaganza of ours Black and with such a nice shrubbery as well cheers mate!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Sander, nice to be back :-)
DeleteWonderful ents, Simon! I do like the fungus growing out of their backs and the contrast you gave it and the beards. Very nicely done!
