Ymir the White, Lord of StoneGate

posted by roman, jarhead, kong




I sometimes really freak out when I paint those tiny ultradetailed Red Box Games Figures.
Eveyrtime they are pure painting joy and have so much character - thanks to Tre for such wonderful Fantasy figures. Ymir is really pretty small as you can see here in a quick shot into my cabinet, done with lightning from the camera and yellow lamp light, pretty strange shot:


I recently discovered that Tre has a new looking online store which keeps it all better organised and easier to browse - at least I think that way - check at Red-Box-Games.com. Now to the little dwarf:

Ymir the White, 
Lord of StoneGate
Red Box Games, 28 mm

If you like to vote for Ymir -

Hope you like him!
Keep on happy painting!
Best Wishes
Roman

PS: Figure sold!

    This should be seen a little more relaxed. Not everyone who was called Thor was identified simultaneously with the thunder god ;))
    I love the Red Box minis, especially if you have painted it. You manage again and again to emphasize the character of the figure with your painting.

    " In addition, one stanza relates that the dwarfs were given life by the gods from Ymir's flesh and blood (or the Earth and sea). "

    Hence the reference. Ymir is a name that carries meaning but it is not a singular title. I would suppose this name amoungst Dvergr would be akin to the name Jesus amoungst the Spanish. No misuse intended. Just a name of high honour.

    BEAUTIFUL PJ Roman! I love it!
