realCMG 5 Posted April 15, 2017 Painted my first Rune Wars mini... the Rune Golem. These things are super fun to paint. I am really happy with how min turned out. Here it is. 4 vtarin, JasonGlass, Lyraeus and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TallTonyB 1,210 Posted April 15, 2017 Great looking rock texture, I really like that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WWHSD 9,273 Posted April 15, 2017 The Rune Golem seems like it is an awesome miniature for introducing people to painting. It doesn't have a bunch of cramped little spaces or tiny details that need to be picked out. I've never done much beyond some minor touch ups on X-Wing ships but painting the Rune Golem has inspired me to try to actually paint my Runewars stuff. I just wish that there were a few more models like the Rune Golem in the box. I was impressed with how mine came out and I consider myself a non-painter. 2 druchii7 and TallTonyB reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
realCMG 5 Posted April 15, 2017 yeah, that looks great wwhsd. I definitely want to paint more of them, and do different rock textures and colors. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vineheart01 6,403 Posted April 16, 2017 Very nice job on making the rocky texture, it actually looks like realistic rocks (as in, its not super clean and sharp looking like most people paint golems). My only poke about it is the yellow runes look flat to me (could be the camera) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
realCMG 5 Posted April 16, 2017 Yeah, they are not exactly how I would have liked them to turn out. Some of what you see is because of the flash, but still they could be better.... just means I need to get more to paint. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Advice from painter here: try aplying thinned white paint into all those orange cracks and then reapply thinned orange. And apply lighter silver on all metal areas and blue on cloth area just leaving darker colour in the receses. This should make it look more like glowing for orange and more 3D on the rest. Still if this is one of your first minis: im impressed. Unfortunately i dont have my set yet but when i'll buy mine i will post here all minis that i will paint Edited April 27, 2017 by Warlordus new ideas 1 WWHSD reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
