How times change. Wargames Foundry‘s historical ranges used to exist as a natural counterpoint to Games Workshop‘s fantasy and science fiction. The two companies had no overlapping product (though plenty of overlapping staff). But now, in the brave and bold 2011 we find Foundry not only selling Workshop products, but also fostering their own sorcery and scifi lines. It is a time of Foundry Fantasy.
On this site you’ll be able to find a slew of miniatures I’ve painted with Golem Painting Studio. I did five of their Dwarf packs, here are my favourites.
These chaps were done over the Summer .
Have a gander at their site. I’m going to see how many more of my paintjobs are on there.
Foundry prefer bright and colourful schemes – they approach the hobby as others would a carnival. It’s an intentional stance against the gritty monotone schemes others put out. With this in mind I painted this ginger dwarf with a pink shirt, green waistcoat and purple coadpiece.
Surprisingly it works. I’d dress like that if I were a swashbuckler. Though in the past I’ve gone out in public dressed like this…
That shirt.
It’s *awesome*.
I want one.
There’s only one in existence I know if. I would loan it to you, in return for a Von signature waistcoat.
Good stuff, reminds me of GW’s old metal dwarf range.
Yeah, there’s a similar barrel vibe going on there.
Grey pinstripe, black pinstripe, black and white wool or red-and-gold ‘Victorian Upholstery’?
Anything in bright yellow and purple with patterns that look like a level from the original Zelda?
I’ll keep my eyes open for one.
