I'm so rubbish at visiting threads and this may now be ireelevant, but this is what our guy Jon opted for for his Bretts (hope he doesn't mind me posting it). Think it looks cool?

Lovely painting and fun minis! They look a little confused by the cannon!

I have added an interactive map on my website, it is possibly less user friendly than how the page was done before, but honestly I find this to be a bit more fun, like how the internet used to be!

The idea behind the wizard is that is a bit of a Taal nature dude and and elementalist, so browns seem to make more sense.
Plus unlike the soldiers he is not in an army and does not have a wonderfully bright uniform to wear, so he just wears what he wants.

Definitely seems fitting for a wizard from Talabecland not to be too fussed about their looks.

Thanks for the compliment on the face, it is my second favourite one.

Johannes Pertwee being the favourite, I guess? You've nailed that subtle shading and highlighting that results in more realistic looking faces on many minis but to me this wizard and Pertwee do especially stand out.
I have tendency of going overboard with contrast when painting faces and minis often end up looking old and wrinkled with occasional, inadvertent, look of wearing eyeliner to boot.

The count is indeed very bold in colour, he needs to show his wealth and inspire the troops no?

Flashy outfit and bling to show wealth, rank and importance is nearly as essential part of leading the troops as actual skills. Sometimes in office as well as on battlefield...

Do you have a blog or anything like that online?

No, I don't. My miniature hobbying has become so sporadic it would make one short blog with entries being extremely few and far between.

Thanks for the reply.
Yes Johannes Pertwee is my favourite face of all time.

Oh indeed, can't have the peasants following some pauper, they may as well rule themselves and that sort of carrying on is not at all what we want.
The horror.

Thanks, he just wants to practice is art and study in peace.
