Finally finished this model. It's easily the nicest model in my army so I put 100% into it. It took a lot longer than I thought. Completed the horse and character pretty quick but the banner took me 3 different sittings. I took ages deciding what would get painted what colour, and I'm pretty pleased with the results. Another 20 halberdiers next. What an anti climax

.

P.s. The white on the banner is a bit bleached out in the photo. There's bit of shading going on that you cant see.

Did you have to highlight the Putti's ass so much? I'm scrolling down and bamm! Baby ass jumps out at me! I guess you are the one that will be looking at it most as your BSB will be facing your enemy!

I'm really liking the color choice you have here and the highlighting is just great. Keep it up.

Playonwords · « **Reply #80 on:** February 18, 2013, 03:44:29 AM »

That does look incredibly good. That combination of blue, white and red work really well. I particulalrly love the way the banner looks almost ghostly - i know you said the photo doesnt show some shading you did but maybe its given it that cool effect instead - who knows?. Youve also highlighted everything like a pro which i find so satisfying to the eye.

If i could critique one thing it'd be that the sword seems rather plain by comparison to all your other brilliant detailed work. To me it seems one of those areas where a contrasting colour would make it stand out really well. (Is that what a spot colour is? i should know but dont).

Good luck on the halbardiers next - i shall keep close watch on this thread in future.

Very well done!

I always had problems to get such a golden/copper look (e.g. for the wings of the cherub) like you. May I ask, which colors you used?

Thx

pistolpadds · « **Reply #82 on:** February 18, 2013, 02:07:28 PM »

where did you get the hammers for the knights or are those the ones that come with the knight kit. excellent work by the way

cjp · « **Reply #83 on:** February 18, 2013, 06:18:10 PM »

nice looking force so far. Your consistency of color certainly unifies them well. Not a color I'd probably have picked myself, but that makes it all the more pleasing to see that it works. Its always nice to learn how someone else might approach something. The teal looks particularly nice in the steam tank plates, and the barding on the knights and griffons. The knights' flesh tones are really well done. Some good broody and rich faces in there.

Very nice and solid work overall. ... looking forward to seeing it all fleshed out.

Tarnell · « **Reply #84 on:** February 19, 2013, 12:53:12 AM »

Play on words -
thanks for the kind words. I agree about the sword. I had 3 different attempts at painting it but didn't like the results so scraped the paint off but the sword was taking a battering so I went with something simple in the end.

The_Inquisitor -
Sure:
Black undercoat
Balthasar gold basecoat
Auric armour gold layer/highlights
Runefang steel fine highlights. (Golden griffon dry would be better)
Agrax Earthshade wash. Shades and also dulls it a bit.

Pistolpadds-
You get 2 great weapons in the knights box. I got another 3 from eBay and another 1 from a bits website. They were little really that last 4 I could find for sale on the Internet and cost me £22 in total but I didn't want to use a mish mash of different weapons. GW should really include 1 great weapon per knight in my opinion as its a common set up I see in army lists. They really should have made new knights with the last release.

cjp-
Thanks! I always try and come up with an original colour scheme I haven't seen before, variety's the spice of life as they say. Lots of interesting armies on this forum, especially yours.
Thanks, bugmans glow base paint has improved my flesh painting by a lot.

Thanks mate! Been busy the last couple of weeks so I've only managed to fit in boring stuff like assembling and undercoating but there should be a fair few updates next week as I have a week off.

Tarnell · « **Reply #90 on:** March 16, 2013, 03:50:42 PM »

A small update. Should finish some more early next week aswell.

Helblaster, which had been scaring my brothers WoC:

Looking really nice. Good work.

What colors did you use for the knights armor? I really like the brownish tint to it.

The Ol Perfesser · « **Reply #93 on:** March 21, 2013, 01:45:23 PM »

Very Nice!

I can't remember the exact names of the new citadel paints, but:

Dark metal
Black wash
Light metal highlights
Flesh wash

Takes a bit of shine off/makes it look worn.

If you're taking requests, the Captain on Pegasus

fdestroca · « **Reply #99 on:** March 25, 2013, 10:43:34 PM »
