I think it is the camera and lighting that does it, I do have some highlights on them but they seem to get washed out by the lights, I need to invest in a light box.

The thought of an entire unit of those Warriors staggers. So very well done and look amazing. The base came out excellent!

Would mention the same idea on the horns but it sounds more like a photography issue than a fading / highlight issue so I'll drop it.

The horns would not be hard to go back to. I will have to get them all together first.

I should have a good update tonight with pictures!

So after work tonight I was able to get some work done like I wanted and even pushed thru all the way to basing just so I did not just have one lone warrior alone up on the shelf and now I can really see their bases coming together.

I am getting better at doing the V on their shields and think that it really shows that they proudly belong to the V Legion.

I should be able to finish another 2-3 tomorrow and some bases depending on homework since I don't have to work!

Hate to say it but I see mold lines and they must be purged!!!!


Other than that top notch

Where? I spent hours removing them, and I will be damned if I forgot to get one.

Look at the head of that guys hammer. It is not a big one but honestly it is the first thing I saw ;(

i see it, It was the last thing I was working on last night, not a hard fix at all

Ok guys, been trying to do some serious work on the warriors, got the Warrior Champion finished and set into the ranks.

I just have to finish the weapons for the warriors and then they will be ready for basing and then completion. I am hoping to get them finished today and post an update.

I also tried to do a freehand symbol on the Knights banner and am pretty excited with how it turned out.

Wish me luck!

*waits with interest*

Quick question, does anyone know a good blog or recipe for a sorta gray flesh, like on a horse?

So I am here to keep my promise, work/school has been keeping me pretty pumped and with V-day the lady has been a main focus.

I finished my Knights 100% and all I have to do for them is paint their movement tray after I magnetize it. I have all the warriors painted in my first 12 man batch but I still need to base and should be able to do that soon and post pictures.

I am trying to decide whether to do War hounds or Minotaurs next.

I decided to try and freehand the banner, and put their legion on there.

Looks topnotch mate!

Hopefully now that our chapter of HvZ is done their week long semester game and I am not hunting humans every day, I can get back into some serious painting.

Tonight after a very muddy/rough final mission of HvZ, I was able to come home and finish my first group of warriors!

I did their bases in my theme and am quite happy with how they look all together and after a while I will get around to doing the movement trays once I get the magnet sheet placed in it.

As for the warriors, they signal 16/43 models being completed which only leaves me 27 models left!!!!

All the warriors have their bases magnetized and their legion symbol painted on their shields.

My next step in this project tonight will be to move on yo building my minotaurs and making sure that all the mold lines and edges are filed and presentable. Tomorrow hopefully will turn out to be a somewhat warm day that will allow me to prime them and start the painting process. Even if I just have to get the weapons done while I still develop my skin tone and recipe.


Cutthroatcure

Looking top notch mate!

They look very good man!
Great job

Thanks Guys!

Busted my behind tonight and got my Minotaur Paint Scheme finished...Took me longer then I first expected but after a ton of testing and working it all out, I feel I have a good palette for them.

I will post pictures tomorrow, just been so busy with Stats homework and SWTOR, I have been falling back in my recording and posting duties.

So till tomorrow!

Cutthroature, I don't think I had the occasion to tell you, but I love your colour scheme

Everybody knows men of taste paint their armies purple and gold .

I could not have said it better! Thank You

So as I promised here is my update on the Minotaurs and also a surprise look at my painting station!

I love painting minos

Been having internet issues so have not been able to take photos but I am still alive and painting!

The Minotaur looks boss. And I like the extensive use of washes on the Warriors. The darker purple mixed with the lighter colors of the horns and leathers give them a sort of ethereal look that comes off really well. Unearthly is the word I'm looking for I think!

And then the richer color of the minotaur makes it stand out, but still fits the color scheme with the bits of armor here and there.

I'm looking forward to seeing them all together for the full effect.

I love those minos as well... but I can't help feeling that it would look better with the shoulder plates in that same purple color. Almost seems inconsistent with part of the armor being purple while other parts are metal.

Well the shoulder parts look like they are made of a metal substance where the loin cloth is made of well cloth and the bracers seem made of leather. I just thought that making sheets of metal purple would seem beyond the minotaurs thinking...They only have access to purple cloth because of the warriors, but metal is metal.

At least that was my thought, today I will be finishing my 2nd minotaur out of 7, I think he is looking somewhat better as I am getting the hang of painting them.

So Here is an update.

I spent my night tonight not only finishing the base of my second minotaur, but also picking foam out of my pluck-able army transport so what I have complete have their nice safe foamy transport ready for them to show my friends back home!

Sitting in a drug study trying to add some more funds to my war gaming fun so there will not be any painting this weekend.

Your Bases now belong to them, first 3/7 are now finished.

-wipes brow-

Now I only have 4 more to finish
