The original Dwarf was a very dark figure. Granted they spent a lot of time underground so they probably did not have that much need for bright colors. I tried to bring the darkness to this figure. Though I have lightened the chainmail, I may have done the same thing as I did with the Palace guards. This is also my first try using black as a fill.

Looks good, but could probably use a bit more lightness in the clothing to help things stand out.

I would totally use that figure in my Warhammer games. Awesome.
He's pretty dark still. Whatever you did between your last Dwarf and this one, do it again. Maybe double it.

Now I think he is totally bright. Oh well. So much for the experiment with a darker figure.

Hmmmm...I like the second one, but not sure how it would look printed. Maybe halfway between 2 and 3?

Well, printed out the change is subtle. I like the darker one (#2) and my wife likes the lighter (#3). So I will leave both up so eveyone can pick and choose.
The last one shows up the details better for across a table, but the middle has the dark feel I wanted.

For better table impact, brighter = better.
The dwarf looks great! Keep it up. JIM

Thanks. I suppose I just need to do everything brightly.
I am working on the wizard, now. I based him in the figure instead of the cover art, so he has tights instead of the pants. Not sure if this was a good choice.

The last version of the dwarf is the best - as Jim said, brighter is better. I learned the same thing when i painted minis for wargames - the smaller the scale, the lighter you need to paint the model to make it stand out on the table.
Keep up the good work - you are making great models, and i am looking forward to your wizard (and what else you want to create for all of us)

Are you (or the missus) perhaps also a weensy bit colour blind? I get that all the time as well, as I'm deuteranomalous (mild red-green colour blind, green-weak - the most common form).

I couldn't tell you. It has been years since I've been tested. It does not really bother either of us that much.

Actually, Doc, she is a relative. She had to come here to see what me and her sister were up to. Thanks, WaffleM. This was one of my first attempts at a paper mini.

You keep making warhammer figures, and we'll keep buyin. I'm selling a 4500 point fully painted Bretonnian army for 2K shortly, so I can buy paper versions of every army. ;-D

Nice plan. Just be sure to keep a back up somewhere! I'd hate for you to lose 'em. My stuff will probably not be WarHammer, per se, but I probably will have all the army types covered eventually.

I too love this figure (and I agree on the brighter the better for across the table). I printed out a bunch of these Dwarves, changing the hair color, making some blond, some brown, and some a orange-red, for variety. They make for a good patrol unit.

WOW!
Brilliant.
I think the lighter color works better because you can see it on the table better.
The feet may be a little too big though. Just my 2 cents...
