My minis

Postby Anderas » March 22nd, 2015, 4:47 pm

Ok, if everybody has his thread here, i will start my own, too.

I will post VERY irregularly; but hopefully get some good feedback from you.
My very first Mini was a skeleton of GW; intended to train a bit the Bone technique.

Foundation was with black paint, then white out of the airbrush.

Everything was painted with Coat d'arms "Bone" color; washed with GW Devlan Mud, looked at, nearly thrown up (because i didn't remove the mold lines.... :oops: never use wash with Mold lines! :D ), again painted with "Bone", highlighted with "Khaki" of Vallejo and then put carefully some Sepia and Devlan Mud only where I wanted it to be.

Well, for the first Skeleton after years of Orks I think it is ok. It was to test the Color Scheme, too. There are basically three skeletons: The Yellowish "Bone" Skeleton; the White&Black "easy" skeleton and the white skeleton with some blue in the recesses to show that it is really really super white bone. After I tried the yellow color scheme, i think this is not perfect. But I don't like the others. No way out? Let's see.

I bought the bases here

You have to switch to "weiß" then it's the correct one.

The only problem is the size - sufficient for the small monsters, for the big ones they are a bit small.

With a bit of search it should be possible to find the 25mm variant in the same shop (it is horrible bad sorted)

I'm 99% certain it's an old Warhammer plastic kit skeleton.

That's a very regular old GW/Citadel plastic multipart skeleton. If you swoon over this one you should see some other skeletons from other manufacturers.

Yes, i once bought a plastic Skeleton Box of GW some fifteen or twenty years ago to have some Bones for my Orks.
This is the only one that survived complete.

In fact i don't think it is very good. Look at the shoulders.
