Valeria.

 
Having finished my 10 mm. Orc army and being done with 10 mm. for the rest of this year, I painted this beauty in 28 mm. from Hasslefree. I painted it to play my first game of CROM firstly, but she will fight on more different games and adventures no doubt.

Después de terminar mi ejército orco y acabar con los 10 mm al menos por este año, decidí pintar esta belleza de Hasslefree en 28 mm. La pinté para jugar mi primera partida a CROM, aunque sin duda luchará en muchas más aventuras y juegos.

When I saw her helmet and armour I instantly thought of bronze, but seeing the lack of contrast between her blonde hair and the armour I should have gone with steel instead. Anyway, what the miniature really needs is more lights, especially in the trousers, gloves and boots; but I could not bother to add some white to the base colours and raise them up a little bit more. I must get into the wet palette sooner than later.

Cuando le ví el casco y la armadura enseguida pensé en pintarlos de bronce, pero después de ver lo poco que contrasta su pelo con el metal pienso que debería haberla pintado en acero. En cualquier caso, lo que la figura necesita de verdad son más luces, sobretodo en los pantalones, guantes y botas, pero no tenía ganas de mezclar blanco y subir colores. Tengo que intentar lo de la paleta húmeda a ver que tal.

 

Anyway, I love this miniature. Its sculpting is so delicate that reminds me of those from Tom Meier, althought Hasslefree's are quite more dynamic. This one for example has a very striking pose. My only minor complaint about the miniature is how she is rising her shield in front of her, as she could not see a thing that way nor you can see her face.

En cualquier caso me encanta esta miniatura. Su esculpido es tan delicado como las de Tom Meier, aunque esta es mucho más dinámica. Mi única pequeña queja respecto a esta mini es la forma en que sujeta su escudo. Tal cual está no puede ver a sus enemigos y tampoco el jugador puede apreciar su rostro.

  2. Very nice looking figure. I think a good break from 10mm for sure.

  5. Really great looking work. I think the bronze goes well with the blonde hair, they complement each other well.

    1. Cheers Alan. Maybe black hair would contrast more than blonde but it's also nice :)
