A new Barbarian - Art

 Been a while since I sat down and put pencil to paper and then dug out the quill and brush and some india ink.  I will be painting today, but just finished up this piece and scanned it.  Getting some of the creative juices flowing again by drawing some things and inking other great artist's work as well.  

So this one is on me, somewhere out there, barbarians are fighting:  

Marauder Champion - Avatars of WAR!

 When I first saw this miniature I was like, I have to have that.  But the casting is quite rough and makes for a tough miniature to paint.

 It's a fun looking and mean miniature.

 Not overly happy with it, but its another miniature in the collection.

Sverreulf the Red-Handed Version 2!!! Painted!!!

Not sure why I bought two of these miniatures.  I think it may have been a mis-package thing with Red Box Games.  But anyways, much the same with this miniature in a slightly different set of colors.

 I think this mini is like his version of a half-orc or something, hence the pointy ear and fangs.

Hopefully more to follow.....

BERTOK the Barbarian!!!! Converted and Painted

 This is a Reaper Miniatures model.  He is a big boy.  I converted the model slightly with some bits.

 It was going to be part of the Mutant Marauders, but that project is long dead.

 I do like the looks of him and the musculature is awesome to paint.

The shield is one of those GW bits....

Sverreulf the Red-Handed!!! Painted!!

 This is another Red Box Games miniature from Tre Manor.  Nice sculpt, but a little small, something between 25 and 32 mm.

 Simply love the musculature on the miniature.  Really had fun with that, its like superhero like.

Much more to follow...

Painted Barbarian Axemen!!

 Here are a couple more of the Reaper Miniatures barbarians that I have painted up.  Both are axe men.  This one I actually converted the axe as I did not like the original weapon.

 Definitely a fun miniature to paint, lots of cool packs and armor.  Its a Tre Manor sculpt.  I do like his work.

 This next one is a bit bigger in stature than the other.  He does have a wicked axe.  The face is a bit wonky.

 He is similar in look.  On the furs I went with just some simple grays at first, then was like I need to have a wash of browns to break that up.

 The leathers on both, I am just using the simple Reaper Master Series Oiled Leather Triad.

More to follow....

Gorak the Ravager!!!

Another awesome Reaper Miniature.

 This is Gorak the ravager.  Another barbarian model that I originally was going to use with the mutant marauders as well, like the last one.

Look at the size of that axe.  If I would have had this in the chaos army, I would have dremeled that symbol off the axe and added a huge chaos symbol.  But with that project now dead, I just left it.

Simple leather and fur.

 Again the muscles on this  miniature are pretty awesome. Definitely can see the Tre Manor sculpting.

As always more to follow....

Barbarian time by Crom!

Originally this barbarian was to be part of the mutant marauders long ago.  Its a metal Reaper Miniature that I converted with a shield and chaos sword and some armor plates.

 I've probably had this miniature for 15 years or better.  I love great looking sculpts that have a lot of relief and undercut in them.  So this thing painted up very well.

 The musculature is wonderful.

 The face and hair on this mini is kind of a let down as the rest of it is quite awesome.

Well that is it for now.  More to follow.
