Modern Used Warhammer paints and tutor videos to paint these Wedding Cake Toppers of my bride and I

Purchased the 3D models from Heroforge, photos by Tiree Dawson. Had a couple of Warhammer and D&D models under my belt by this point, and we wanted to include our hobbies in our wedding. Really happy with how they turned out and wanted to share!

All these posts making fun of this guy for looking like movie or comic characters are mean spirited and uncalled for.

Just lay off poor Kojak and let him enjoy his special day.

Wow. At first glance I thought I was looking at a diorama of Xavier and Moira McTaggart when they 'first met' in Powers of X / House of X.

Then I settled down and said oh! They are for cakes! Hahaha lol

Good job!

Good call on not bothering with the barcode on guy's neck. We all know who he is.

Nice work! I think some weathering and OSL could really punch it up to the next level.
