Saw this paintjob on the Thunderlord on coolmini and as i liked it a lot and it is the first one I see out there, I thought it would be cool to post it here!

WoW! I really like the choice of colours and excellent painting on the skin in particular. Terrible base though, takes alot away from the whole thing, a real shame that!

Actual mini is great though!! :thumleft:

I must say that this NMM is poor to say the least... gold is yellow not gold, and silver is gray not silver. Anyway the skin is very well painted, same as the green and wooden parts. Anyway I hope that my will look better, yet it isn't to obvious, as it will take decades to paint it most probably:/

Nice paintjob!!! But for me all the NMM are amazing jobs, because its really hard to do for me I must to say... but I still prefer the miniature with the axe!

Really nice, but i think paint the beard darker (brown for a sample) it were a better contrast. I prefer the mini with the axe, too.

There is no denying that this dwarf is well painted but for my taste he's too bright, I prefer them a bit darker looking. Hopefully there will be more posted soon

True
So true.

I think the NMM ruins the model, which is sad because the rest is painted quite well.

Nice paint job, but I think the pics are not good, because the pipe hide the work in the face.

Wow, really nice nmm technique he uses. But maybe alittle to bright colors for my taste but awsome paintwork!

The paint job is very skilled, but I personally am not a fan of the cartoony style. Especially for Dwarfs.

It's not bad, I actually quite like the cartoony style on this one, but I do not think that the combination of the colours fits the model really well.
The beard is really cool though, to fit with the cartoony style.
But like grasg drakh said, the base ruins the calm pose the miniature has, and the NMM is not really great.

But other than that, it's not bad at all.

Is it just me or is he looking at the camera and not what he is shooting?

I like the paintjob overall. I think the NMM could be done better but I think that it is done well enough to pull it off.
The flesh is great, the gems are great and the cloak is great as is his beard. I think the NMM not being too good does not take away from what is a great job!

I would have to say I agree.
