Umberhulksfrom Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures |
     |
Umberhulks are some of the most iconic and awesome D&D creatures of all time, I'm a huge fan.
These were in a group of minis from the Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures line I purchased during a sale from MiniatureMarket.
Nolzur's minis are made of a plastic that is harder than Reaper Bones material, but softer than every other line of minis I've had experienced with. They come pre-primed, but with mould lines intact. Which kind of renders the priming moot.
Assembly:
Very simple, as these came pre-assembled. I did remove the base it came with to do my own.Mould lines weren't bad and easy to remove. Some bits were a little bent, but nothing hot water couldn't fix.
Paint:
Primed with Badger Stynlrez primer, brushed on.The purple umberhulk miniature painted purley in oils. Mostly Winsor & Newton Winton line. Once dry, used Daler Rowney flourescent ink for the bright orange bits.
The orange one was painted in acrylics, as I wanted to try doing a coconut crab motif. Used Reaper and Vallejo acrylics, and a toothpick for the small dots. Took a couple hours to paint the oils, then a few days to dry.
Both sealed with some matt varnish from Reaper Miniatures.
Base:
Custom made with cork, PVA glue, sand, rocks, etc. The mushrooms were hand made with hot glue and toothpick tips, painted with Daler Rowney inks.A few little flock moss bits glued in as well.
