Tale of Warmaster Painters III (February)

[BlackEd]

PW:  <Angelic_halo on> I am so sorry to hear you are disappointed with the unit.  I will gladly give them a good home so you don't need to see them any more. <Angelic_halo off/>

Joking aside, that unit looks rather awesome to me.  I like the mid-yellow mixed with the darker color.  The banner is absolutely fabulous.

As for sealing miniatures, I used Krylon gloss varnish (now with extra shine!) for protection, and use Polly S Figure Flat for the matt finish, although I prefer Testor's Dullcoat.  I've been experimenting with going back with some of GW's brush-on high gloss finish to hit areas that I want shiny on purpose, like metals.  I left most of my Daemons shiny, because it makes for a 'wet' look that I wanted.  After all, slimy Daemons are scarier than Daemons with good hygiene.

That's really kind, but I couldn't possibly burden you with such a task! 

Now that the grass is on them I'm starting to warm to them a little (it distract the eye!) - they'll certainly do to represent the knights unit with whatever magic item I need to buy to spend those last five points or so.

I like those blazing suns knights. The banner is awesome. It is not as neaty and clear as your units used to be, but yellow is a very tricky colour. With black undercoat allways the yellow colour always take wierd-mud tone. Said that, I like your unit, do not understand me wrong.

My paint this month is delayed a lot, I'm still in... but a little slow

Time for an army shot:



What this says to me is that I really really need to paint some infantry!

[Stormwind]

Looking good! Any chance for a closer look? =3

[jchaos79]

That is a really strike force. Maybe some infantry is needed?

[Guthwine]

The pic is way too small! We wanna see them in all their glory!

[pw]

Thanks for the nice comments, I always like seeing army shots and thought I'd set one up.

I'd like to show a bigger picture but I can't work out how to get a bigger one up. This is, I think, the full size Photobucket will allow. Anyone have any suggestions?

[jchaos79]

have you try change the width parameter [IMG width=1000]

[pw]

Thanks, that worked. I've amended my post with a bigger version.

Disastrous month!! I should end some infantry right now because I did not make any entry to the christian army this month

[jchaos79]

My february contribution is some castellanos infantry,

Nice work, I really like the inclusion of a mounted character in the ranks. I think I'll try this with my next Empire unit (though I worry that the characters aren't quite to scale with the halberdiers).

[jchaos79]

I have no flag/banner bearer so I used to introduce a mounted dude to mark the central base. I do this when the mounted command of the unit have sense. In this case, being a medieval army is coherent.

Never try this with GW so hoping to see how it looks like with the huge knights of empire.

Still in February, and my second contribution (by the skin of my theet).

This time is a templar unit of knights on foot. It works as an elite unit of infantry, following the scheme of colours used in the mounted templars and with crosses in the heraldic
