About two months ago, I identified this figure as my new
ranger for Rangers of Shadow Deep. I’m not exactly sure what I find so
appealing about this miniature, but it really speaks to me. It’s a Reaper figure, sculpted by Bobby Jackson, and, unsurprisingly, it fits in really well
with the official Rangers of Shadow Deep miniatures.
Despite having the figure for a while, I let a few other
figures take painting precedence, as I knew I wanted to give this figure my A+ job, and
I was waiting until I felt ready. Well, it took 3.5 painting sessions to get
her finished, probably about 4 hours total, and I’m very pleased with how she turned
out. I was initially worried if painting her armour as leather, instead of the
metal that was probably intended, would work, but I think it has worked out
great.
I'd also like to mention, I’ve been using an Element Games ‘Character Brush’ as my main painting brush these days, and I’m extremely pleased with it.
Its point is as sharp as an 10/0, but can also paint more like a 0. Highly
recommended. It’s really helped me to
get great facial detail.
Anyway, the Grey Shadow is just the first of a new ranger
warband that I’m working on. My plan is to actually have two rangers. That way
I can either play solo with two rangers, or split the group in half if I’m
every playing co-operatively. Well, that’s the plan anyway!
Its a lovely looking figure and you've done a great job painting it, well done.

ReplyDeleteFrostgrave question: Will all current Soldiers from rulebook be usable in 2.0? I want to build an Apothecary but heard rumours he may be removed.
ReplyDeleteNo soldiers are being removed. There will be some limits to warband configurations.
DeleteNice mini and nice painjob
