The Last of Averland




Hi all,

I've been in finishing mode for the last few days...trying to clear my table for a larger challenge on the near horizon.

One of the things that has been lingering on my painting desk for wwwaaayyy too long is the very last few figures of a commission that I've been "working" on for a very patient member of the LAF.  These are the last three figures for a largish warband of puff and slash figures that I have painted in the traditional colors of Averland...Black and Yellow.  The rest of the Warband can be seen HERE.


The interesting thing about these three latest figures are that they include an elf, an orc and a goblin...taking the warband beyond the humanoid figures from which the rest of the group is composed.  As you will see the Goblin figure comes from the WK range, The Orc is a Foundry model...and the Elf is a classic citadel sculpt...with a classic Elvis hair cut!

Not to belabor the point any longer than I need to...I need to get these figures on their long delayed return trip to their rightful owner...here they are


Many thanks to my client for his incredible patience in waiting for me to finish these wonderful figures...I hope they bring you many years of gaming pleasure.

Cheers,

Blue

  4. Didn't know there was more than one company offering Renaissance themed greenskins. I has been looking for that Goblin on the Warmonger site for ages!

    Lovely work.

    1. yeah I think this is from one of the ranges originally sculpted for White Knight...I'm not sure who holds the rights for them now.

  5. Nice work Blue. I still can't get myself to really embrace the puff and slash orcs, but you painted him up nicely.
