DWARF DRAGON SLAYER. GAMES WORKSHOP ZARAGOZA PAINTING CONTEST. YEAR: 2015.

We have already published a few posts about Warhammer Dwarfs, but none of them it's as much special as this one.
The last 31th of December, Games Workshop Zaragoza had an important painting contest that gathered fans from the whole city. Taking this event as a challenge, two Grupo Afternoon painters decided to perform the same model in order to sign them on in the contest and make a step by step post about their painting processes.

The chosen miniature was the Games Workshop Dragon Slayer. One of the model won its category and was proclaimed absolute champion. Do you want to know which was the winner? You'll see it at the end of this post!

BORJA'S DRAGON SLAYER STEP BY STEP

The base was created with tree bark in order to simulate some rocks.

It was primed in black and then sprayed with grey. This technique marks where the most illuminated points are located in the model.

Check out the wonderful work performed in the axe.

Legs were painted separately in order to work more comfortable and get better results in the pants.

And this is the final look:

Do you see the pants? They are one of the best parts of the model along with the axes.

 Borja decided to remove the original rock with dragon shape. Instead of that, his Dragon Slayer is jumping directly from the tree bark.

RICARDO'S DRAGON SLAYER STEP BY STEP

We applied the same technique than the previous Dragon Slayer, but lights were marked from other direction because this Dragon Slayer was going to be in a different pose.

In this case we did included the original dragon rock.

As you see, the bases are pretty similar, but vegetation and colors are differents.

This Dragon Slayer was painted fully assembled. Instead of painting lines, Ricardo decided to wear his dwarf with ripped pants.

We want to highlight the work performed in the eyes: they have pupils!

Ricardo painted a blonde Dragon Slayer instead of the classic red haired.

Final result:

Which one is your favourite Dragon Slayer?
