Wizkids Dragonborn Fighters

These are Wizkids Dragonborn fighters.

For these I first Primed them black and the drybrushed the with white.  I then used Army Painter speed paints to get the colors on the minis.  Speedpaints can look a bit rough and splotchy, so I did another pass cleaning  the edges and adding highlights with acrylics I have...reaper paints.  

Overall the process took a few hours and gave a result I can live with. My old process would have taken a long time.

Reaper Bones Lizardmen

 These lizards are speed painted using the Army Painter basic speedpaints.

I started by priming them black and then dry brushing them grey and then white.

 Next, I base coated the miniatures using the speed paints, and then I used regular acrylics to add highlights and do cleanup.

Basically this is the Slap Chop method.

I would say each miniature took an hour which is fast for me.....

Reaper Bones Werewolf

 Here is a Bones werewolf done in a brown color scheme.

Grenadier Armored Dwarf with Great Axe

 This is an odd mini I found in one of my boxed sets..maybe adventurers. Not my greatest work but I had to keep up the painting momentum.

 I used Reaper metallics which I tried to water down. I tinted the plate armor blue. Next time I will try Navy Blue dry bryshed with metals to see if that comes out more smooth.

Grenadier AD&D Druid with Sling

 This is a druid from the Grenadier Boxed set 2013 Adventuring Party.  Overall I am happy with him and will add him to the Grenadier adventuring team.

He is called Snow-slinging Druid which baffles me.  Instead of snow in his sling...I gave him metal bullets for better damage.  Snow?  I don't see how that would do anything to most enemies...

Here is the back of him.  The hat he is wearing is interesting to me...he looks like a Cossack. The hair is the weak point in the paint job....it is a tough color to work with.

Reaper Bones Pirate Captain

 Forgive the bad picture..my phone stinks. This is a cool miniature pirate captain I painted a few months ago.

I use prescription bottle tops as holders...isn't that wild?

The sword is real metal paint...the buckles are nonmetallic metal.

Reaper Bones Troll

Here's a Reaper Bones Troll.   This mini has been painted for a few years and like the bugs has never made it up here until now.  It collected a lot of dust and had to be touched up.

 I call him a Tongue Troll.  He is a fairly crazy looking monster that would likely scare the (&*@ out of most adventurers...

I spent a lot of time trying to blend the lighter skin on the underside of the hands and on the knuckles with the darker skin.  The Tongue was fun to paint and coat with gloss .

Here is a final shot from the other side.   Overall a cool miniature.  If I had to do it again , I would do more contrasting colors on this one...perhaps the back scales or moss would be much more contrasting.
