Mantic Games’ Kings of War: Elf King with Spear and Undead Necromancer

One of the local game stores was dumping all of their minis for this game, so I picked up a few cheap. The necromancer came with 2 heads and 2 left arms. I chose the undead head and arm. The others are “living” versions.  I like this guy’s tattered robes. They were either tailored this way, or he’s been though a blender.

When I painted the elf king’s shield, I thought it would tilt the other way when it was attached to his arm. So unfortunately the shading has the reflections and shadow opposite where they should be, which looks a little odd. But, of course, I wasn’t about to redo it, so…  His armor is pretty fancy, and I like that there isn’t actually any eye-slit in the helm. He must be a Jedi.

I’m really happy with how this Reaper mini turned out.  I tried a glazing method described by Eric Louchard of Antimatter Games.  I was a bit more patient with this mini than I am with most, so my blending is smoother than usual.  The original mini’s face is angled down, so it isn’t easy to see.  I built up the front of his base to tip the mini up so that you can see his face better.  I think it works.
