Well been working on this chap recently, another officer I have aquired, decided rather than touch up on my old one, he gets the honour of retiring and this guy will step up to lead on the Cadian 8th:


Still very PiP

flesh tones are looking really nice Gav, only thing is theres a weird line down the left of his head, is that meant to be there?

[GavX]

i fear it is a mould line, I shall paint it however so it looks like some hair is out of place, that or scrape it off and redo the flesh there, not sure what colour is there though, i think it was a total of 7 different shades and a few washes to get it like that
Edit: Well it cant actually be scraped off, its like a joining part of some kind but doesnt actually stick out enough to cut off, itll look better in the end, not so noticable once he has hair i think

Still cant believe how quickly you can paint gav.....

god show... not as good as some of your others but better tha tabletop in my book! (remember my book is better )

[frodo34x]

It scares me too sometimes, the speed of Gavs painting.

[tartanarmy]

Tidy job on the face and skin tones!

[GavX]

He's done!




Like? Few tiny bits to do, but fieldable for tomorrow

Right, well this month has been quite a good one for painting, managed to get some Dwarfs done, with the new roman style tower shields, aswell as getting the Cadians ready for the tournament at the end of October, only have about 30 of them to paint for my tournament force, and if worse comes to worse, I can just field another unit already painted in their place. Currently doing transfers on a platoon.. its very boring.

Gavin,

Veni Vidi Vici do some nice Imperial Roman shield transfers which you could use on your tower shields. Their web site is at www.3vwargames.co.uk/

WiP time again! Picked this up a while ago, fantastic model, but needed a helmet so gave it a knight helmet which I think works well with the gothic style armour, enjoy!




As ever C&C welcome! So far the flesh is done and the armour, red nearly done, still trying to make it a bit more smooth, no idea what colour to do the "purity seals" or anything else, or even how to base him, so open to all ideas.

Here is a wee sample of what is to come in the next few months, from my latest top secret project
