Jan's Judgement
A Dorf??? Jan Paints a DORF?!!! Here comes Thrommel
When it comes to miniatures n models I don’t much care for Dwarves….. not Squats (actually they can seriously bog off back to the bellys of the Tyrannids! ) however Judgement does do a couple of rather nice ones especially the angry little squirt that is Thrommel Ironbeard!!
Angry Little Man!When prepping Thrommel he kept making me think of the Iron Hills Dorfs as Weta Workshop were portraying them……… lets see if I can find a pic……………
So with Weta amazing figures as inspiration I had a muse for Thrommel.
I wanted a darker rougher steel armour for Thrommel but one that still looked expertly wrought and well maintained. A perfect task for the Darkstar Molten Metals Paints.
To contrast with polished metal armour elements and so he didnt look like a complete noob to the battle, I made sure to give his other materials; leathers and cloth a more worn and used look.
I kept the overall temp of the mini cold and to reflect this further went with cool and cold shades of grey on the fallen staturary on the base and added snow effects and winter grasses
The only really warmth on the finished model was on Thrommel’s skin and here while I warmed him up I wanted to give a ruddy wind blasted feel.
Overall a reallly REALLY enjoyable mini to work on
