I had time to finish Kildrak. Not in mood for much text but I will give credit to VoltRon for the snow effect go check out his blog.

This is also the first time I had to paint jewels. I tried my hands on some Glaze technique for the jewels.

But here is the main course:

Kildrak meets two Orcs

Sun Steppe Orcs encounters Dark Elves

Hello,

This time I show you a few pictures of my finished 5 Orc strong Sun Steppe clan patrol. I am quite pleased with the result.

Some Dark elf explorers encounters the Sun Steppe Orc patrol.

Another project I started is to assemble a plastic AoW Dwarf berserker with a two-handed axe. I was surprised that the second hand holding the axe comes in two parts. A bit of tinkering getting the hand in right position and aligning it with the hand. The Dwarf will be my miniature for a DnD lvl8 Dwarf Barbarian Kildrak, so I want to step up my paint job for him.

First almost painted projects

During the last two evenings I painted two miniatures. One DarkElf Corsair and One Ax Ork. The colour scheme for the elf is the same I used over a decade ago. For the Orc I am testing a kind of steppe/desert nomad orc coulour scheme. Armour, helmet and shield is bronze, axes are iron. I also did not want to go the usual green but a kind of dark brown leather colour for the orc.

Ax Ork - His home is the steppes with scarce resources so Bronze is used for the armour but the choppa must be Iron to be able to cut through "the Civilized peoples" chainmail and plate armours. 

A Dark Elf Corsair painted in a the same colours as my early Dark Elf army, Front vieiw
