DIY Custom Dice

These are some dice that I made using a method that i discovered on the internet. Here,s how they turned out:

Now how to make them:

1) Print off your design onto ink jet photo paper using a laser printer.
2) gently sand your dice with extra fine sand paper.
3) Cut out your designs and place them on the face you want them to be.
4) press an Iron onto the transfer for 10 seconds, lift for 4 seconds and press again for 5 seconds. (times may differ, experiment to see what works better for you.
5) put your dice in a jug of water for about 5-10 mins (until you can rub off the paper).
6) Remove the Dice from the water and rub the paper off, Rub fairly hard cos if you image comes off from rubbing it wont survive being used.
7) Repeat for all sides on all your dice.

Sevrin Loth conversion

This is a conversion of Sevrin Loth that I painted for a friend to match the rest of his army. (greens and browns), He wanted the wings doing in a brown colour but I thought they looked much better with the white as they stand out a little bit more.

High Elf Chariot Trade

This one was painted for a friend as a trade. I wanted the Lions from the chariot kit and she let me have them for painting the rest of the chariot. Here it is:

Trollbloods Axer Light Warbeast

First up is my Trollblood Axer. This was the firs Hordes miniature that I painted, I will post more up as I am currently working on the rest of my Trollbloods for a small tournament coming up soon.

I mixed my own colours for the skin as I didn't want to get another range of paints. The mid colour is a mix of Enchanted Blue, Fortress Grey and Dwarf Skin from GW.

The tartan was fun to do but after doing this I decided to re-paint it (still not got round to doing it) as it would be far too difficult to recreate this effect on some of the other models with folded cloth.
