Nicodemus.
Painted by Richard Turton

 Nicodemus from Citadel Mordheim range.Nice 'n bright not to be confused with Gandalf. This work represents about 35 hours of work.All the base, books and scrolls, lectern etc was scratch built from plasticard milliput and greenstuff. The goldwork on the books and the little sand box is NMM. It was a pain painting the writing on the spines of the books in about 6 shades of yellow but once I had started I had to go on. The writing is about as small as I can paint with a brush and still be legible. The book with the dragon painted on is about 1 cm. I managed to get about 72 scales on the dragon. The quill is the feather from a warhammer pistoliers helmet and the little sandbox came with the Brettonian army boxed set. The most painstaking part of the mini was the border round the hem of the robe. The deep folds in the robe made the NMM difficult. If I have to do a similar robe again I'll stick with a plain band for decoration!
This piece sold from our websites for sale section for £100 .

Golden Wizard.
Painted by Richard Turton

This model was painted as a non gaming piece and is fixed to the ornamental base. Many details are not easily seen such as the 60 or so gems on the wizard and the freehand design on his cloak. The hardest detail to paint was black lining the teeth on the dragons to get them to show up against the yellow.

Rose Wizard.
Painted by Richard Turton

This chap was a commission piece that went to Italy for £30. There are about 60 roses painted on the caparison. The whole piece is painted to a very high standard using wetblending with vallejo and citadel acrylics.

Grey Wizard.

I'm particularly pleased with this chap, especially the sword which was my second attempt at NMM (non metallic metal)

Druid.
Painted By Isaac Turton.

This is a Reaper miniature. I tried to get a really rugged outdoor look to this miniature. I used mostly Citadel browns as I feel they are the best to use. Most of the browns are wet blended with yellows or reds for their highlight. I particularly like his little potion bottle on his left hand side, which I tried to make look like red wine. I painted his sleeves a dark blue to add contrast of colour to bring the browns out more. I feel his face has a good tanned rugged look.

Ice Wizard.
Painted By Isaac Turton.

ice_wizard_single.jpg

This is a Reaper miniature. I tried to get a really cold feel using Vallejo and citadel greys and very light blues. It was hard to get the white colour to look right so it took a lot of wet blending and layering to get the right affect. I tried to get a clouded look in the crystal ball. The hand was blended from a flesh tone to light blue to make it look like he is casting a cold spell. The base is caved out of green stuff.

Hobit Wizard.

This fellow sold for £28.00 on ebay. Musta made about £2.00 an hour...great! (seriously). Particularly like the blending on the robes. Stars came out ok as well.

Rose Bishop.
Painted By Isaac Turton.

rose_bishop_single.jpg

This is a Reaper miniature. All the metallics are shaded using a mixture of Vallejo and Citadel paints. The picture does not bring it out to well but the red of his cloak and the red of his robe are two completely different reds. It was taking along time to paint all the writing on the scroll so I did a little freehand rose in keeping with his theme to take up some space.

Necromancer.

Shaded Metallics on this one. Figure is a little cluttered for me but he looks great in the flesh (Flesh? what am I talking about. I think it must be the lead poisoning)

You may recognise this chap as the aftermath icon or logo. Hmm...should never have sold him. He'll be worth millions some day

Wondering Wizard.
Painted by Richard Turton

My favourite part of this chap is the staff; I tried to get it to look like well worn hawthorn...doesn't show up too well in this photo. If I ever find him again in the pile of junk I call my stock room I'll take another. Curiously both my father and one of my brothers carve walking sticks for a hobby...just thought I'ld let you know that piece of useless irrelevance
