Hello again people! Whilst this might not strictly be a wargaming miniature yet(The rules are not released until next year) I thought it is still relevant, and hopefully, an interesting subject to all you figure painters out there.

Kingdom Death is a small company that is producing a range of very limited edition figures and I was lucky enough to get hold of their second release; the Manhunter. Here is the website for those intrigued- Kingdom Death

Here is a work-in-progress shot of my Manhunter so far

The skin will receive a glaze or two of Baal Red. The clothing will be washed with the various brown washes and Badab Black to dull it all down for highlighting. On his back is a sword in a scabbard which I have basecoated with a mix of Scorched Brown, Red Gore and a touch of Badab Black. I actually recommend adding one of the washes to a colour mix because it thins it out perfectly. I shall have a couple more pictures hopefully by Monday(if there is decent natural light) Gotta love Winter.. =/

Comments, help and criticism most welcome! =]

Looking rather awesome to me, especially the skin. I know it's not finished yet but the trousers and other areas of cloth need more shading, but from what I can tell they're just basecoated and you haven't got round to them yet. Will be interesting to see how he progresses from here :sinister:.

That is one awesome model. Looking forward to seeing where this thread goes.

He looks pretty awesomely detailed, I guess the slightly larger size helps out a bit there... was it 35mm? 38?

I went to their website and had a bit of a snoop around, I like the size comparisons they have. The Manhunter looks as though he's about the same size as a Space Marine should be, miniaturewise.

Will have to see how this guy turns out, so let's hope the sun shines for you!

If I remember correctly he is about 35mm, and yeah, larger scale miniatures are really good for practicing things like skin tones, as there is a much larger area to work on.

I must admit I wish I bought two of these and converted one into an Empire Witch Hunter

Cheers for the comments so far guys! I am highlighting his trousers and coat in between typing this lol :dance:

I have a little bit more to show you all today, however I won't be able to do any more painting until Thursday/Friday because of my blacksmithing course at college =P

I am thinking of giving the red parts a brown wash in order to dull them down and bring them more in line with the rest of the mini. What do you think?

Thanks for looking guys!

 

[Deadstar_MRC]

I quite like the reds as they are. A bit of contrast here and there isn't a bad thing!

Just my opinion, though! Good work thus far, hope the blacksmithing goes well.

 

[Phoenix Lazarus]

I have an update! =D

This figure is pretty much done except for a few last brush strokes, however I thought I'd put up some pictures now

Sadly the Hangman's Noose has broken off =[ but it will be fixed before the final photographs are taken.

I have decided to keep the red as it is Deadstar. I agree about the contrast hehe

Enjoy!

Yay! I have influenced people. Well, one person. Maybe.

The figure is looking very good, though. He seems to be getting darker every time you post pictures of him!

Haha indeed! I blame the light It was an afternoon and it's generally clouded over around here at the moment(goram winter) lol. He's all done now, but I'll wait for some decent sunlight to take pictures in
