| Hy! this is my first WD repaint. I choosed Snig 'cause I find him very charismatic and valuable in D&D RPG...like you could see I used the NMM for the axe and darker tone for the worg than those used by WotC...Hope you like it!

| | I like it a lot. He looks a lot more ferocious then the original does. The original makes him look pretty tame and cartoonish, I think heh. You did a good job. I even think with this repaint, the worg looks even more like a Dire Wolf, which is probably what I would say it was most of the time, instead of an advanced Worg. Nice job tho. | |

| | Excellent work. The NMM on the axe is very nice and Snig's skin tone is drastically superior to the out-of-the-box paintjob. Snig's big "worg" makes a better Dire Wolf than the Dire Wolf. [:D] | |

| Nice work, as usual zanaroth! :)
Great NMM on the axe, and you made both Snig and his mount look quite vicious.
I actually quite like this sculpt and you've brought it to life in a way that shows it off far better than the 'blah' WotC paintjob.
I would have much prefered a properly-sized (i.e. M) miniature I could get multiples of cheaply, for a proper battle with worg-mounted goblins, but that's a whole other thread ;)
Bravo, benfatto, come al solito! | |

| | I love your work, Zanaroth, and this is no exception. I especially like how you brought out the eyes of the worg. They look very life-like and menacing! | |

| | Wow! [:D] Can't wait to see some more WD repaints. (Is it just me, or does the paint jobs on the WD figures look worse than the other sets?) | |

| You've just inspired me to one day take up painting miniatures.
I might even consider picking up some paints the very next time I pass by a hobby shop. | |

Well, an absolutely gigantic goblin. He must be very popular with the goblettes. My God, Snig's head is as big as the Goblin Skirmisher's entire body!
(Of course, that's not your fault, zanaroth, and the repaint is about a 500 percent improvement over the original.) | |

That Worg still looks like Mutley (albeit a glowy-eyed Mutley), but I doubt there's anything you can do about that...[:p] | |

| Yea! Go Snig!
I have to echo the overall sentiment that the worg looks way better than the origional.
I also like the choice of flock on the base, it makes it look kind of mossy. | | | |

| NMM is non metal (or metallic) metal.
Basically painting the metal parts of the miniature with normal paint, rather than metallic, and using shading to make it look like it's metal. | | | |
