Draconis: Spring Clean 2023 and onward
WFRP wizard
At the same time as designing the ninja I also designed a number of minis on heroforge for roleplay characters for an ongoing WFRP game that I GM (and occasionally play in).
Don’t worry though Gerry – they are representative; we don’t play on a grid.
This one is a female wizard that my wife plays in our campaign.
I debated the robe colour for a while, but finally plumped for green.
Trying to get the model done quickly I used a green contrast – but wasn’t really happy with how it came out.
So, I got out the green paint and tried old school layering. I wasn’t sure if my skills or patience were still up to it – but I am reasonably happy with how it came out.
I worked on the base separately. This was because the model has quite wide robes that come close to the ground. Painting the base separately meant it was a lot easier to get to details on both the base and the model that would be hard to do if they were glued together at the time.
Just a base....Finally it was a case of all the finishing touches.
I built up several layers from dark red through yellow to almost white for the fire effect (again, pretty happy with how that worked).
The book I initially painted brown, but changed that to a dark blue and highlighted it up.
For the backpack I used a contrast at first – but yet again I wasn’t really happy with the finish (perhaps the bright white base isn’t so good for a lot of these colours), so went back to my old Foundry paints and layered it up too.
Ready for action, or at least for burning things...
