One of the things I love about Reaper minis is that they are cheap. In price that is. The wife and I went into the FLGS the other day and we were just looking around and happened upon the Reaper mini shelf. Wow what a selection. From the Pathfinder minis, to Dark Haven range, there is something for everyone!
Not that we needed anything, but my wife and I walked out with four minis.
The next one I bought for me, was this Dwarf rogue. I love dwarfs, and this guy was just cool looking. He, unlike the girl above, is not 100 percent completed. I haven't weathered the metal on his bracers or knee pads, and I need to paint his hair. I am thinking of doing the hair a red, so that there is some pop to this otherwise "brown" character.
My wife also picked out this female ranger/archer. i wanted to make the cloak a very dark green, almost black so I started out with a Orkhide Shade, and then washed it with Badab Black, then I drybrushed another layer of Orkhide, and applied Thraka Green.
This, as you can imagine is taking quite a while, as I am putting a lot of wash on, and it is taking forever to dry. The plan to continue is to apply Snot Green with a Thraka wash, then Goblin Green and a Thraka wash, and finally Scorpion Green, and maybe a wash, and maybe not. We'll see what it looks like. I'm afraid that the Scorpion Green will be too bright for what I'm going for, and I may have to tone it down with the wash.
