Wyandottemike Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Hey all, please be kind. I'm an ok painter and this isn't my finest work. I painted these quickly to use in a game I'm going to run at my FLGS. I'm a new Henchman and wanted to try something new for our small group of players. I wanted to experiment with taking photos and quickly put the background print in there, knowing that it's not to scale. I figured it's better than nothing though. Feedback is welcome. I should ad that the color scheme isn't in my normal style. I was trying to emulate the artwork that the figures were done in the box set. I liked it and thought trying something I don't usually do would be a nice change of pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Looks pretty good to me! Just reinforces that I need to get that set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evilbleachman Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Pretty colorful! I dig it. And as Ed said before me, I will have to pick up the set as well. >_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lussuria Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Yea you seem pretty worried about how they look but I have no idea why! I think they look cool! Good balance with the bright colours. Really well painted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyandottemike Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 (edited) Thanks everyone. I wanted to post them because before I started painting I didn't see a lot of examples out there. Nice to hear positive feedback. I agree the colors are bright. I didn't really do any highlights because I just wanted to knock them out quickly. I just got my Gen Con order in and I'm trying to read through the new rulebook Edited September 11, 2013 by Wyandottemike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Great to finally be able to see the minis put together. Excellent paintjobs with nice and smooth highlights. The skin looks particularly good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Wow. Those are great! I especially dig the skin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted September 11, 2013 Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 Love the metals. Not so convinced on the luminous skin but they all look great! D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Mathonwy Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Those are sweet paintjobs! The bright green works exceptionally well, which is surprising to me to say the least. Coupled with the dull metallics and the red in the stitching - it's a very striking look. And turquoise on the tubes... You're crazy man, crazy but awesome! Those are also really nice minis. Shame about Wyrd dropping the ball completely when it came to the rules :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathnard Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Nice choice of colours - I like what you've done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final_Crucible Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 Wow, I really love the contrast between how you painted the base and the stone. It makes the entire thing pop! For doing a color style you aren't normally used to, it still works really well! Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathpex Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 I agree that these look the goods. Great contrast between skin and armour. You should be happy. Hope your playgroup is too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ned Posted September 17, 2013 Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 These are really nice. It's good to finally see a painted example of the iron zombies. I'll have to get a round to painting mine at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyandottemike Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Thank you Big Ned. I'd love to see someone else's take on them, especially with a more realistic color set. I think a mottled/grayish skin tone (i.e. zombie) would make them look a bit more terrifying. They have a stylized look at the moment that might not be all that scary.
