Title: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on October 07, 2012, 01:45:25 PM: I've just got back into WM and I want to show you some of my work.

First, here you have a character conversion: Bretonnian Green Knight.

Post by: Lex on October 07, 2012, 02:07:53 PM: Nice work, CanÂ´t wait to see a paintjob on that one !!

For Rules, KISS, eg. use the Hero on Dragon rules for him (with consent of your opponent of course)

Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: pw on October 07, 2012, 09:11:34 PM: That's lovely work, I spotted it on your blog a few days ago and wondered if you came on here. I'm looking forward to seeing this painted up.
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Guthwine on October 08, 2012, 03:33:24 PM: Awesome, great work! I tried doing one myself but failed miserably. But with your pic as inspiration I think Ill try again! :)
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Kesseki on October 08, 2012, 07:40:20 PM: HeitaroiWM, you're a true artist. You have to show your current bretonian army (if you haven't done yet) because your painting job is also amazing!!
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on October 09, 2012, 01:06:29 PM: Wow... thanks for all those gratifying comments! :D

@Guthwine: please, try it!
@Kesseki: old pics can be seen here (http://hetairoiwargames.blogspot.com.es/2009/11/bretonianos-de-warmaster.html). But I hope to show you new (and better) painted units soon.

Time to see the finished model:

Post by: Edmund2011 on October 09, 2012, 01:24:46 PM: Right, the two cents are there in the pic... ;D

Great work!! Keep more coming! :)
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: pw on October 09, 2012, 02:57:30 PM: That's fantastic, a really excellent 'smallerization' of the Warhammer figure. In fact, it's so good that I'd have believed it was an official GW Warmaster figure if you hadn't showed us the greens. Now all you need to do is make another one to cast up for the rest of us to buy!

And a question - what materials have you used on the base (it looks fantastic)?
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Stormwind on October 09, 2012, 03:10:27 PM: This is just stunning, I don't know how you managed to establish such control over the green stuff at such a small scale!
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on October 09, 2012, 05:19:31 PM: Thank you chaps! I really apreciate your comments :D

Interesting... How much would you pay for it? ;)

Just a mix of diferent types of flock and some lichen. The rock was cast with creen stuff.

Nos vemos!

Post by: Kesseki on October 09, 2012, 08:12:34 PM: I like both, your green knight and your sense of humour, ... 2 cents... Ha ha ha ha.

Be careful with HetairoiWM, guys, he has license to sell everything!!
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on October 11, 2012, 11:39:05 PM: Another pic of my two cents. This time, besides a unit of bretonnian pegasus knights.

Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Irisado on October 12, 2012, 10:49:13 AM: The level of detail on those miniatures is truly outstanding in view of the scale. You must have a really steady hand to pull that off, especially the yellow and blue stripes on the lance.
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: vincent on October 12, 2012, 11:11:46 AM: Very nice :)
I would advice you to add shadows under the wings, that would make it even better.
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on October 12, 2012, 11:57:07 AM: Thanks for your comments!

Irisado: my hands are not so steady... I tried to pain a fleur de Lys but I couldnÂ´t (and used a transfer instead).

Vincent: thanks for the advice. I have a ploblem with zones that, aparently, doesnÂ´t show up on the figure (like shoes or feet...), IÂ´m too lazy to paint them properly. However, in this case wings have received the shame ink was in both sides. I think itÂ´s probably a pictureÂ´s contrast problem.

Cheers!

Well, they are much steadier than mine at any rate :). There's no way I could paint my Epic infantry and small vehicles to that level of detail or accuracy.

Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on November 06, 2012, 07:43:47 AM: They are HO scale models.
IdonÂ´t remember manufacturer, but IÂ´m sure there are many options .
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Lex on November 06, 2012, 07:56:15 AM: Hmmm ?? HO (railroad) scale is usualy to big. Preiser N-gauge might be a better fit. I guess I need to find me a trainshop
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on November 06, 2012, 01:32:56 PM: You are right, they must be n-scale models.

How do you know me, honey :-P. Your peasants are the best i've never seen.

Post by: hetairoiWM on November 09, 2012, 11:35:17 PM: IÂ´m glad you like peasants, more units will come. But now, itÂ´s time for the knights:

Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Irisado on November 20, 2012, 10:21:28 AM: As a former Blood Dragon player in Fantasy, I really like this Warmaster version, and the mixture of red and black which you have used. The base is also very impressive.
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: hetairoiWM on November 20, 2012, 01:30:13 PM: Red & black wil be the themed colors of the army (ok, and "skull white" too... ;D )

IÂ´m glad you like it. Stay tunned for other characters and units.

Lovely pendraken figures.
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Irisado on November 27, 2012, 07:28:37 PM: I really like the Skeleton regiment with the Wraith at the front. The banner looks suitably foreboding too.

Is there a hint of rust on the blades? If so, that's really impressive on such small figures.
Title: Re: My two cents
Post by: Christopher on December 24, 2012, 10:52:30 PM: Wow that green knight is glorious. I love conversions at this scale. Does hetairoiWM have any interest in taking commissions? 8)
