The Captain 35 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 To continue with a long and proud tradition of these threads, I didn't see one for Valeria yet. Although the model's clothing isn't quite faithful to what Howard described in Red Nails, I tried to paint her colour scheme as closely as possible to her description. I had a lot of trouble figuring out the belts and buckles on her waist - astigmatism makes miniature painting kinda difficult... 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt John S 352 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 I actually just finished painting her. Going to need a Valeria for a little not-so-secret project I'm working on. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But It's done. Good job on yours. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MeanBone 35 Report post Posted February 8, 2019 Here's my Valeria, along with the other ladies of Conan I've painted so far. They can all hit the tavern for ladies night... These obviously are not good paint jobs, just speed jobs for the tabletop using base colors, an occasional highlight, and Army Painter quick shade. With so many minis to paint from way too many Kickstarters (Conan, Blood Rage, The Others, Mythic Battles, Vampire Hunters and soon to be Hate and Siege of the Citadel) I'm definitely going for speed over beauty. And at arm's length during the game (with somewhat dim lighting 😉) they look pretty good. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did Valeria and Conan just get done playing Sonic the Hedgehog? 😎 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

garbetsp 257 Report post Posted February 9, 2019 This was early in my painting. She looks like it was a very rough night. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not Quite Dead 469 Report post Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) Here's my Valeria: I wished to paint a skull on her buckle, but it was too small for my skill, so I didn't do it. Not quite happy with the shade of her skin, but I like the overall colour scheme, especially her silky breeches.
