Continuing my 10mm journey. As my wee first submission indicated I'm traveling down the 10mm road. We returned from Holidays in the Black Hills of South Dakota Saturday, and we are heading to Minnesota Lake Country for 4 days over the New Years Holiday. This retirement life is tough (on the painting time). I decided to paint the found GW wizard from early days Warmaster and while digging through trays of opportunity I found this Heresy Miniature of Mad Mick McMadd. I thought he would make a great Giant for Warmaster and busted him out of his blister.
I decided to brown base coat Mad Mick and Melvin. I don't really prep for the challenge, I simply turn on the airbrush and base coat troops as I want them (having a large hobby dungeon is a plus). The weather here in the Dakotas (Minus 4 F when I got up today) is not for priming. Before priming I did pin his hands and head. They have tabs, but I find a pin is usually the only way to keep the mini together.
Lots of flesh and so decided some stripped pants were in order to jazz him up a bit. I put down the base coasts and wash with army painter strong tone. Melvin was given a quick slap chop of off white and initial colors were speed paints 2 from Army Painter. After this I highlighted both Mick and Melvin to try some pop at this wee level.
Melvin is tapping the winds of magic, might be hitting some Warp with the green coming off the sigil.
Mad Mick was given a couple of tats from old GW Epic Space Marine decals. I have way too much old stuff... One on the stomach.
One on the back.
Points:
1 10mm foot = 1 pt
1 25mm foot = 5 pt
Total for 2025 = 6 pts
It's a marathon not a sprint.
Happy New Year all. I should have a month of painting upon my return before my next wandering takes place.
Keep those brushes wet.
Bruce

Melvin and Mad Mick look the business, Bruce. I love all of Melvin's multicoloured paraphernalia - he seems a very high maintenance chap. One of those guys that has complicated coffee orders at Starbucks. Mad Mick is a very scotch neat in the keg kind of fella. His tats, striped trousers and pipe ready in the rope belt are the bomb. Well done!

Great looking minis. Repurposing old decals as tattoos is a wonderful idea.
ReplyDeleteFantastic, love the colours and tattoos
ReplyDeleteBrilliant work. I love your use of the 25mm model as a giant. The wizard is very well done.
ReplyDeleteSmashing pair of characters, portable Pentagon's are definitely the future !
ReplyDeleteGreat work love the colors on the Wizard
ReplyDeleteLoving these! Great repurposing of MMM and wonderful brushwork on the wee wiz. Sorting his laundry by colours must be difficult! Hope your temps warm up to prime in the Dakotas, we’re getting similar temps north of the 49th.
ReplyDeleteNice work on those
ReplyDeleteVery nice job! The repurposed dwarf is excellent work.
ReplyDeleteNice little 10mm models and good use of decals!
ReplyDelete10mm for the win! This looks great, and will surely not cause me to suddenly stop what I am currently painting and dig out some Warmaster stuff instead...
ReplyDeleteCrackin job!
ReplyDeleteI love the vibrant Wizard Bruce
ReplyDeleteA giant success! Almost magical. And long live Warmaster!
ReplyDeleteTerrific work on both figures. The wizard will need the giant to help carry all those books.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the skin tones and vibrant colour choices mate!
ReplyDeleteWonderful work! Love the giant, but the mage with his warpstone pentagram is just superb. Excellent choice of colours
ReplyDeleteThat's a fantastic giant!
ReplyDeleteReally charming work!
ReplyDeletethat wee wizard is fantastic Bruce and even more impressive for his tiny size! Although he lacks the flair of the wizard in color, the giant is smashing! pun intended- I like the tattoos and the striped pants!
