One step closer to completion, here we have the Human Cavalry figures that come in the basic set. I have been working on these off and on for several months as I play with with the GW Constrast paints. I based these models in AP Plate Armor and then hit them with a wash of Constrast Grey. The horses are done with a collection of the various browns in the line. I tried a mix of raw shade, shade over base color, and base color dry brushed over the shade. Overall, thing using the contrast paints as a wash is working out best.
The reds are the opposite. I did the cloaks in the Contrast Blood Angel red and then drybrushed with with AP Dragon Red. It gives a fairly rich red color.
Just a few infantry figures to go at this point...
Very impressive! The look great.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean
DeleteThese are a menacing looking bunch! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jon.
DeleteCracking job, and awesome red shades!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil, glad you like it.
DeleteI don't think I'd want to see these chaps galloping straight for me. They came out great. I wonder if they'd benefit from a device on their shields? Maybe a rune in brass or fold?
ReplyDeleteThe shields are Mason's department. He claims to have a plan.
DeleteAh! It will be interesting to see what he comes up with!
