| Hi Everyone, these are the last repaints you'll see from me till after wardrums (I've got to do some quilting).
They are nothing like as good as the other stuff we've been enjoying in the last week, but I like them.
First, a halfling wizard - the face is not particularly well done (and the left eye is weird because of a big groove in the plastic running up her forehead) - but, it's so small, it doesn't really matter.
 
Secondly, Snig - I'm not quite sure the colours quite work, but it seems way too hard to change it. (Plus I think it's growing on me). (sorry about the 3 photos, I just think the side on one looks great [:)]).
  
As always, questions and comments are welcome. | | | |

| I really like the color selection on both miniatures. Snig looks much better with real goblin colors (not bright yellow). He is oversized, but that is the sculpt. I didn't know he had multiple javelins until I saw your repaint.
The halfling wizard looks great too. The wand looks interesting. | |

| I like the halfling, purple is one of those colors that either work or not. In this case it works!
You did a nice job on Snig, but I just can't get over how "Jim Henson Goblin" he looks! | | | |

Isn't that mostly due to the sculpt, though? (I guess I don't know enough about it to tell.) | |

| love the purple color on the Wiz
Love what you did too snig, I too always hated the bright yellow and how he just didn't match the other goblins.
Great Job! | |

| Thanks everyone.
I've got used to Snig now, and I'm quite happy with him. He's just different from what I'd planned.
Thanks Pat, that's exactly what I was going for.
The wand was done using the same purples as are on the robes, but highlighted up to white, and then painted with clear magenta paint - I was amazed by how well it worked (much more interesting than a featureless brown lump).
Thanks for your nice comments about the purple Runelord - it was a struggle to workout what to put with it, but I'm very happy with the results.

| That Halfling Wizard is excellent - I love purple for wizards.
Snig was never a great figure but you made him much, much better - I like his blue hood, nice contrast with the yellowish skin. | |
