Always wandering around, I finally took some time to paint my first miniature ever !

This is your first painted miniature ever? Wow! It's impressive...very well done!
And painting your centaur as a holstein cattle cow is awesome :cheers
I absolutely love that!
He looks awesome!! I like the colcor scheme and its very well executed. Though the cow motiv iss funny and well done, I think I would skip, but thats just my opinionā¦
And damn that was long! I am a very poor and slow painter

Poor painter? That would be what I call an understatement - the result is awesome!
It's a bold choice to give him those large spots, but I really like the result.
How have you done the mushrooms? I'm about to start a slow project wood elf army. And bases are important to me, so I'm really trying to get inspiration. I'll be using a lot of Herbes de Provence for leaves - but perhaps tea is better.
Haha, you also decorate bases with mushrooms? I didnāt notice first, because of cow. My brother have invented a simpler and quicker method where the foot of the mushroom is just a paper clip, L-bent at bottom to be pinned into the base, and the hat is a cone (sometimes wavy) of grey stuff. He churn them out at great speed for his Night Gobbos, but some more professional ones like yours sure would make it look better. Iāll pass on the tutorial to him. Nice one, too.
Some News from the forest! Hooves and hornes are digging the fresh hearth for tasty mushrooms !
Here is the second bull of my unit of 3 !
I made some changes on it such as the two handed weapon, made with plastic card and milliput, for the staff I used a nail which I chopped off the flat head. Regarding the left arm, I used a basic ogre arm.
Hope you will enjoy it guys ! I enjoyed a lot painting him! But It took me a lot of time as usual and I am making no progress regarding the constitution of a 1k Chaos dwarf army:( I think itās a 25 years long project
Watch out for the last one coming probably in February
Excellent work. I really like your technique. To be honest I prefer the second BC. The colours are less muted than the first BC providing some subtle contrasts. Look forward to seeing some of your other miniatures.
Its an awesome paint job and a great build as well, especially the left arm, although the axe is a simpler design as usual for the forge world chaos dwarfs. But I think when the unit is completed that won`t be a problem on the table because of the stunning overall look.
First of all yep, regarding the weapon I wanted to paint some runes but I quickly realised that I was not skilled enough to paint something cool so I just skipped this step. The same for some ornements I didnāt feel like I could do something, and for my second miniature I wanted to achieve something āokishā, I mean within the frame of the āachievableā so put aside the crazy ideas I had.
Yeah the Cow pattern might be a bit controversial
The Idea was, let them look awesome but āfriendlyā as well
I really felt it could make them less āseriousā more āridiculousā. I realy love them, not the best painting ever but in hands they look cool
I already see my cows crushing and smashing lines, quite a funy perspective I think haha!
Anyway Itās a pleasure to see that some of you quite enjoy them or even take time to comment
Last creation of the year but happy that I finally got rid of it!
Lots of mistakes, I went āquite fastā on it at the end, and messed up lot of stuff, but still Iām glad to have my first painted unit ever !! (youhou):hat off
I really got inspired by some members here, and I am thankful to them and to everybody else contributing to the forum!
So, I wanted to make my final bull wielding a two handed weapon so as to have a coherent unit.
Therefore, I had to convert a bit the dude. Hopefully the Forge world resin is easy to fix and cut. For the conversion, I heated a bit up the right arm on the elbow. Unfortunately, it broke when I kept it bent with my finger. (Some green stuff + mili was enough to fill the gap)
Another minor issue occurred, the beard is really big and I had to resize it under the arm, as well as to reshape both hands. (So you canāt see it but there is an āinvisibleā whole", when you have the miniature in hands, the position just suggests that the beard has been squeezed between his right hand and his chest.)
Everything is from the original BC bar the weapon, which looks really odd I agree :o. Like the last one, I made a quite simple weapon that does not really fit to our āloreā but my skills are quite limited. Once again, the blade is made of miliput plus greenstuff and plastic card. The pole is made of āsolidā wire that I wrapped up with some āthinā layer of green stuff. The weapon looks crappy but on overall the position is really dynamic and I love him !
