When painting figures like this where a large portion of the figure is one color I often struggle with figuring out how much of it and which parts to paint other colors so they aren't too monotone. But at the same time I don't want it to get too fiddly or chaotic. Some of these have some sort of small cylinders in belts, like a belt for bullets, for example. I left the cylinders the same green as the uniform, so far. But not sure if I should. As these are meant for gaming rather than display I will probably leave them as is and call it done.

Three Space Dwarves
Plastic/resin figures from Kromlech. The heads come separately, but are easy to attach with a sort of loose ball and socket connection. They also came with some little fiddly goggle things to go on their helmets, but I left those off for fear they would be too fragile. I plan to use one of the figures as stand-in for a crewman in some games (Five Parsecs from Home and/or Pulp Alley?), who is a space dwarf and former soldier.

What a great start to my Saturday morning! Love the reflective lenses.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I used some OLD GW metallic green paint for those (the goggles on the middle guy).
DeleteI think you got it just right.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteIt's tricky for me to tell if I should do more, so it's good to know if people think it's good as is.
Oh! Those look fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThese were my other ebay purchase - maybe I could have bought them off their site. I am tempted to get more to make at least a small unit for some sort of sci-fi skirmish gaming (to go up against space goblins, Phroggs, etc.).
I should NOT have looked up their website.... They make a LOT of really fun little bits and odd miniatures....
DeleteI know, right? Should've warned you! ha ha
DeleteGreat looking space dwarves!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks! Now I'm waiting on some more space dwarves from a kickstarter. I think they're a little lighter equipped.
DeleteNice job Fitz, I've looked at Five Parsecs rules & have to say I liked what I seen so will be interested to see them played out whenever you get a round to doing so :0
ReplyDeleteThanks! I have a few different miniatures games/rules I want to try. Just a matter of getting things stat-ed up and on the table. Then create some reports.
