Beardy coach turn marker

Post by J_Bone »

I decided a little while ago that I wanted to make a turn marker to look a bit like me dressed up as a Blood Bowl coach and was waiting on the right miniature... Looks like the NAFC sorted that for me!

Had a blast with some green stuff last night and think I managed to capture my horrible hairy features pretty well. Sorry, Lycos!

I might yet add a screwed up piece of paper in his right hand so he looks more pissed off with his badly chosen roster.

:lol: nice likeness. Are you going to paint him green to match your orcs? (I haven't actually seen the orcs but I presume they are green!)

I'm planning on painting him in slightly greened fleshtones so he looks kind of undead human but will still fit the orcy colour scheme. I painted my orcs with more of a fleshy toned palette than most people use anyway so it shouldn't be hard to make him fit in. I'm hoping to get my tattoos on him but am not sure how this will turn out as I've never tried that before. I'm guessing lightly sketching it lightly on in pencil, painting them in, and then putting a wash of the flesh colour over the top will probably do the trick.

Here are my orcs... Pretty shocking photos but you get the idea.

Thanks... The couple of models I'm really proud of aren't actually there in those pictures. I have a Meiko Blitzer made up as a star player and a goblin with horns where I managed a good, natural looking paint job on the horns. I was especially pleased with that one as most horns on miniatures look far too polished and unrealistic to me. I'll post up the pics later on when I get home.

Is that supposed to be a rotter or golem?

It's the Lycos flesh golem figure that they gave out at the NAFC

It's a good deal chunkier and a little taller

Comixininos... I believe he is a Meiko miniature. I have that one and another great one with horns which I still need to take a photo of!
