The Thief and Barbarian

I think out of all the metal miniatures Northstar produced for Frostgrave, the original barbarian and thief blister pack is my favorite, particularly the barbarian.  I don't know why, I just really dig the model and had to have it when I saw it.  Here are my painted up versions....




I tried to do the figures justice, and I think I succeeded.  I basically just copied the color scheme from blister pack example.  Doing the blue stripes on the barbarians paints was a lot of fun and I think it turned out really good.  It really makes the model pop.  I also added a skull because skulls are cool.

      Thanks John. For the skins I used the reaper tanned skin triad with reikland fleshshade. If you ever want to go even darker, I've been experimenting with the bronzed skin triad too. I'm a huge reaper master series fan.

      I'm always down for a game man. If your at Adepticon or planning on being in the area, let me know.

      HA!, thats what I do too..however I have forgotten over the years I bumped it up a shade so I use the 2nd paint of the Tanned skin set as my base and the first paint on the fair skin set as my highlight..I going back to original base!..
