bretonnian and other oldies

Thanks for comments, guys.


@Blue in VT :
For the horse, it's not a personnal idea, so feel free to use !
I've seen such conversions ages ago, and as I found an incomplete green knight in the bitzbox...

@Niibl :
I prefer a slightly darker tone too. And as I'm painting on black undercoat, I find it easier to do.

@Urion :
Thanks. I like this kind of basing for my Brets (and I use the same for my SAGA historical armies) as I think it fit well with the Lady's knights...

For today, here are 3 more skaven warriors joining my future army for Lion / Dragon Rampant or SAGA.

And the whole "army" :

Very fun to paint, and I have more waiting to be stripped...

Some more oldies done for Warhammer Battle :

For commission work, some chaos warriors (4 more to come) :

For myself, some wood elves :

And the whole bretonnian spearmen unit (30 men strong) iw now finished and is waiting for the movement tray for Kings of War (as I will play them as a Kingdom of Man or aBrotherhood army) :

Wow, what a thread! fantastic work throughout, I've spent a good chunk of time after work looking through this and it's been a real pleasure. One question, how do you paint/glaze that stubble affect on the human faces, it looks excellent?

Keep on inspiring us!

i've never cared for wood elves but those make me want to paint some!

For the beard, I use very diluted dark grey, in thin layers, until I'm satisfied with it.
Same for the red, but with a dark red.

As always with glaze, it's simple, but it can be long as you need to wait until it's dry before to start the next layer (if needed).

For today, not too old stuff, but old enough to be a metal mini ! ^^

Here is a high elf hero to lead my army on the battlefield :

Then the first unit of my Lothern sea guard (I have another one to paint) :

And my son's skaven army for Dragon Rampants as it stands before Christmas (more to come soon, as I've painted some giant rats and plague monks) :

As always, C&C welcome, and more pics on the blog !

No painting those days, but I've worked on some movement trays for my Kingdom of Men army for Kings of War.

- spearmen horde

- bowmen horde (old minis with some work on the bases) :

- bowmen regiment (I just need to finish the flag) :

Just a little commission work, with some old chaos warriors :
