Shieldmaiden 2 of 3

[dargrin]

Here is number 2.  This weekend came and went too fast.

looks good again mate, nicely matching.  I like the shield especially  :clap2:

[geronimo]

Yup, nice consistency with the previous mini. Grats!

good stufff, the gold is very effective, not so sure about the metal on the hammer.

Very well done there, i like this sculpt better than the other one.

Think it needs a bit more highlighting.

It makes the hammer look more like stone. I like her, and it is amazing how consistent they are.

Great :)  At least as good as number one, if not a little better for me :D

Is that the Alternative Armies symbol on her sheild, or just a co-incidence?

I don't think so. Reaper put Tyr's rune all over their Warlord dwarfs (shields, shoulder plates, helmets etc, even some knee and elbow plates too).

Nicely painted but although the gold looks great, I don't think the other metals look at all like metal (just highlighted grey).  The rest is nice but I would personally go with brighter metals.

How did you make the gold look so good?

This is something I have been working on.  I admit whole hardedly that it needs work.  Do you happen to do NMM?  If so what colors do you use?

Edit: Removed double post :icon_wink:

Thanks.

I have been messing around a bit with this.  I don't have the bottles in front of me because I left them at work.  (Had to leave in a rush)  But this GNMM is something I accedently stubbled on a while back.  All of them are done with Reaper Master series paints.

[Dr.Evil]

I have had people saying my NMM is good but I don't paint NMM.  :icon_scratch:

I'm still sorting out my metals and once I'm happy with them then i will give NMM a go.  :icon_wink:

[Inso]

Sorry Dargrin, I'm nowhere near NMM level painting so I wouldn't know where to begin trying to impart expert advice  :icon_scratch:.

I have always been a 'good tabletop' standard painter and that's where I'll stay (I paint armies not masterpieces  :icon_wink:).

I know that there are plenty of guides out there (there may even be one on the Forum of Doom).

Just because I like beating a dead horse, this is the look I was shooting for but it didn't work out that way

[Inso]

The blade on that marine is nicely done but I don't think the armour or the 'gold' trim look like NMM. 

I have seen MUCH better examples before (the best being a Juggernaut of Khorne on Bolter and Chainsword...it won a Slayer Sword as well and would have wiped the floor with this marine).

It goes to show that a lot of NMM is purely subjective.  I reckon there are people who would look at that marine and say that it looked metallic...I wouldn't  :icon_wink:.
