Dave Paints His Models (Literally) - A Landsknechte Painting Blog

[Dave]

Not sure if you guys are aware, but I commissioned some models. There may have been a Kickstarter involved. Anyway, here's my progress on the Warmonger Miniatures studio Landsknechte after two quick sessions. I've done the skin at this point. I'm going to paint up the hair/beards and then see if it needs anymore work.

Those figures look absolutely awesome .

You commissioned some models? When did this happen?

[Dave]

Over the summer. Also, all your models accidently ended up in the dumpster.

[Dave]

It took a really long time, but I got around to taking some photos of these two units.

Yes!  Beautiful!

It took long indeed. Nice work. The painted miniatures really enhance the store page. I think you should paint the others too.

Is the dragon on the banner a transfer from the Veni Vidi Vici series?

[Dave]

Nope, I made it myself. Bonus points for whoever identifies it and the colors behind it. I have another three design printed, along the same theme: black/white eagle, red/blue wyvern, blue/yellow lion.

[Stormwind]

Oh cool, is it printed from a deskjet or a laser printer?  I'd have to go googling to find the answer to that I think!

[Dave]

I'm pretty sure these were a laser jet, on the white decal paper.

Every day's a school day. I never knew decal paper existed, much less stuff that would go through a laser. Time to treat myself to a laser printer?

[Dave]

The toner price is the killer for them. I use the one at work.

[andys]

I intend to retire in a year or two, so will doubtless need to buy a printer at that point. Colour lasers are tumbling in price, so maybe Santa might be persuaded? 

[Dave]

Ya, just compare toner prices. They're the killer. Thr other option is a print shop. You can pack a lot of a letter/a4 sheet. And it won't cost more than a $1/gpb per sheet.
