Didn't really bring my A-game on this one, but it turned out pretty nifty none the less. Should have gone for a jet-black bodyglove instead of a dark grey. Oh well - there's always the next ninja...
Very nifty indeed. Love the old school/ new school vibe. He looks black enough for me; I didn't notice that he was dark grey until I read it. More ninjas, please! (and pirates)
Sometimes you´re just not as satisfied with a mini - hard to put my finger on it, but I wanted this guy a bit "slicker" than my usual minis. A jetblack scheme with a minimum of highlights and grey armour would have been better in hindsight methinks.
Great looking assassin! The paint job really tied the model together nicely. The reds looks particularly wonderful. I look forward to seeing more ninjas!
You're hard on yourself, this one is great ! I really like the dark grey because it enables to have the shapes of the body. Jet black would have been a tad flat I think. You really captured the essence of the excellent Jes Goodwin model. Only little thing is the leg position when looking at the last picture, a bit too bent to my taste but when looking at the overall mini, it's no big deal.
Well that was an awesome few hours reading through your blog start to finish!! So inspired and so impressed! Cant wait to see more as I start my own Inquisitorial band :D And congrats on your WD spot!
Amazing work Jeff, congrats! I'd love to have a couple of imperial assassins in my Inquisitor's retinue, please could you tell me where to get a ninja head like this one? I've been looking through Dark Eldar but no one matches what i have in mind. These guys from Titan Forge look good but their scale is slightly smaller. Also their look and feel are not so assassin type but henchmen or even psykers :P If there's a chance please tell me. Thanks and looking forward to see more models!

ReplyDeleteThere´s more ninjar in the pipeline - don´t you worry :-)
DeleteI think the contrast agianst the white background makes him look more black - it´s hard to take photos of dark minis like this one...
I just found this place existed! Love your work mate.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Welcome!
DeleteThanks mate.

I think I see what you mean, but holding the mini in hand you don't really notice it. Not worth chopping off the leg and repositioning it at any rate.
DeleteI don't think so either, he's already good as he is.
