GIMNIR'S BRUSH

Volkmar the Grim with his war gear leading the troops Greetings, fellow enthusiasts and miniature aficionados! Today, I have a tale to share with you, featuring the legendary Volkmar the Grim mounted on a war altar of Sigmar.    Let me begin by saying that Volkmar the Grim is not your average guy, he is the embodiment of faith, a man who swore to vanquish chaos in all its forms. And as for the miniature itself? It is a behemoth that would give any civil engineer nightmares! Sigmar griffon defying the rules of gravity on the altar's roof There is an overwhelming amount of intricate details adorning this monstrosity. Shields, swords, knives, parchments, and yes, you guessed it, an impressive surplus of skulls. Amount of detail in just one wheel (only shows one side) Now, you may be wondering how I ended up with such a magnificent treasure. Well, dear readers, it all started with a bet with a dear friend, as many memorable stories do-If I lost the bet then I would paint Volkmar...

It seems like an eternity but the Teutogen guard is finally done! It is incredible that this joint project took 2 years to see the light. The genesis of the project can be seen HERE . If you want to see more work in progress process you can see it HERE . How the project started: The project started as a way of sharing the love for the hobby with a very good friend. I started the concept, came about with a colour scheme, painted a couple of models with him to coach him into improving his miniature painting and in the meantime having an awesome time. In the picture below you will see arrows pointing at the figures I painted for him to act as a reference.  The standard bearer, the high priest of Ulric Emil Valgeir and one rank and file teutogen guard were fully painted by me as they were the most complex pieces and would be the miniatures drawing the most attention. As a get together painting day, I showed him how I paint faces -you can see the sample face at the right of the picture....
