Ral Partha Ranger Greenblade - 03-014

2010-12-15 - thanks to Ernst at DND Lead - he recognized this miniature as being the second stage (Greenblade) of the Ral Partha 3 stage Ranger character.

===================================================

This is another unknown fighter - 25mm in size - so I based it on a Games Workshop round base in order to prop up his size. My goal on this piece was speed - total time from start to finish was just over two hours.

Archived Half Orc Fighter

2014/12/31 - update - this is an Earthdawn Orc With Sword from Heartbreaker - HBH308B.  It was part of a three pack of orcs.

======================

Another unknown found in a bag of minis. This is a half-orc fighter. Another speed test as I was going for best quality job in fastest time possible. I painted this on a Saturday night in 2 hours prior to our DC mini-painting meeting on Sunday. What was different was that I used inks for shading in order to speed the process and thereby reducing a layer or two (see my instructions). Completed the base on Sunday night after the meeting.
