Crossbowman number 5

Yippee! Already half a unit with this fifth dwarf. If one excepts the chain mail, it was a real pleasure to paint this one: the sculpting job on the face and the hands is really clean, and the shape of the helmet raised some interesting questions about the places where the highlights had to be placed to get a convincing NMM.


Unless I find a better candidate for the November's 'Dwarf Guard' theme, this crossbowman will be my entry for the Bugman's Brewery painting competition.

  1. Fantastic! Love this figure. I think I will have to pick him up for a adventurer group. As always...top notch painting brings out the best in this sculpt.

  2. Thanks Blue... but aren't you supposed to paint only Marauder Miniatures? :o)

  3. Beautiful work! I was proud of my Dwarves but they look awfully crude compared to your crossbowman, here! Look forward to seeing more soon!

  7. not bad, I like his axe slung on his belt, that was a nice touch the sculptor added to this figure.

    I have to also say, I really like your Non Metalic Metals, very well excuted.
