Mini: Goblin War Chanter
Manufacturer: Reaper Bones Series
Painted: 30th Dec 2013 – 5th Jan 2014
Another Week, another mini. Overall, I am happy with how this mini turned out. I did better than I expected, if I am honest. It is a small mini with a lot of great detail and I didn't think I would do it justice. That said there is a lot of room for improvement.
I think the copper & the leather are too similar and I should have used a slightly darker leather colour. I may be looking for an excuse for another Reaper Paint Order, but I think Oiled Leather colour would be a good purchase for next time. That said, we have just done a huge paint order at Christmas so I will be waiting a while.
I am getting a lot more confident with eyes and I think this is showing in my minis though I have yet to do a normal humanoid mini. David, from Monday Miniatures, complimented my overall colour scheme and I do think it turned out well.
I often feel when I have finished a model that there is something more that I need to do, that I am missing a step to bring my painting to the next level but I honestly dont know what that is. Often I look at the model and cant see anything more to do and yet it seems to need more. Maybe its me being my own biggest critic.
