Repainting DnD Miniatures

[Odhanan]

I've been experimenting with D&D minis. Mainly, I've repainted an elf warmage from the Blood War extension set and just added highlights to a Halfling Slinger from War Drums.

Here are the results, before and after:

Nice job! I have a ton of these things.

By the way, there are a few more D&D Minis repainters over at Hordelings.com.

Thanks for the link and comment, Lalato.

Out of interest, when you say that you have 'just added highlights' to the second mini - how much work/time have you put into it? (as it looks a whole lot better than the 'dirty-faced' original ).

15-20 minutes maybe? The steps in order were to highlight the leather, paint the face, highlight the cape, highlight the hair, and highlight/retouch the face.

Half an hour great maximum, then varnishing (takes less than 5 mn.) the next day.

Are you thinking about doing it yourself?

It's something I have thought about (on mini's I have multiples of) …but seeing as how I've got so many unpainted metal and plastic figures that I've amassed over the years, I should probably try to get a coat of paint on some of those first
