A final post; hopefully it makes it.
FrederickC and I have demo'd Wiley Games' gladiator combat game Arena of Blood on a few occasions now. Crusader miniatures has a very nice line of metal Gladiators. One fighter type I did not have a painted example of was the Dimachaerus, a double-armed fighter.
The figure has a lot of different textures: cloth, leather, bronze armour, steel swords, and a tinned or silvered helmet. I burnished the sword blades, and used aluminum and silver paints for the base layers of the helmet. I sketched other colours in acrylics over zenithal highlights, and finished with oils for blending. shadows, and highlights.
Along with a couple more dungeon monsters for The Fantasy Trip, 3D prints of in imp and a wolf I painted in similar style, this brings this year's challenge to a close for me.
Congrats to all the participants; your modelling abilities (and speed!) are inspiring.

I tried to get some more Talisman figures done, but only managed some base coats on the planned figures.
3 x 28mm figures = 15 points.

It's a bit past the deadline but I'll let it go because who doesn't love a well painted gladiator, a wolf and a green imp. Great work Dave! :)

ReplyDeleteGreat work Dave. I especially like the helmet/mask on the gladiator, looks so cool.
ReplyDeleteCrackin work Dave!
ReplyDeleteNice work, Dave. Great look on the Dimachaerus. We definitely need another evening of 'Arena of Blood' to get all our new gladiators some combat experience.
ReplyDeleteNice one, Dave.
