Afraid I've cheated a bit because I was already half way through painting these.

Let the flogging begin.

Kyuss, bring out your Dark Elves! I'm certain they won't mind flogging either of Stormwind's Chaos or High Elves.

My update will follow later tonight.

I am starting with the plague beares and the cavlry from GW. After thinking about how to paint them with inks, finally I used my normal technique,no inks, no brains only heart... black printer and quick build of color with 1 highlight + details. It is very quickly, the units are almost finished. Well, yes I am using an ink for the rusty - organic blades.

@Jchaos79

Do you not normally use washes, like Army Painter or GW ones?

[jchaos79]

Nop. Never use washes until october 2015. (well.. for telling the truth I paint some egypt inf my early stages of WM and used some ink, but only in a couple of units, and some attempts in kislev inf, also an elf cavalry attempt is as far as I can remember my experience in washes.).
Look through my WM project topic, 95% are "flat style"

Now I am trying to learn how to use them effectively and how they fit in my style of painting.

And we're off. More info on my blog.

First bit down.  Hopefully I can do 3 more stands in the next 4 weeks.

@Ole, I am now experimienting with inks, I have not much experience. Which ink are you going to use to the panther knights?

Hi jorg,

For Warmaster Units I use Game Color Wash Lavado Sepia, it's a very light sepia. You can use some water to make it even lighter and if you use hot water it does flow a bit more.

First bit down.  Hopefully I can do 3 more stands in the next 4 weeks.

Tiberius what did you do to the pikes in the back?

Cheers Ole

[Dave]

From my signature. The command at least.

It actually took a bit of work.  Those are Flodden Fields Scottish short pikeman from Pendraken.  I added puffy sleeves and tuffs to their short pikes, plus some good ol' Imperial feathers.  The command is Warmonger stuff.  I posted more pictures of them here:

Here's a small teaser for you all.

Some bits were very brittle and broke off but it inspired me to do something extra instead of something less.

I committed to painting a unit of Warmonger Miniatures Landsknechte Zweihänder and Pikeniere (Great Swords and Pikemen). These will be red and yellow quartered. I finished up the skin and armor this week and moved on to the yellow. These guys got a wash too, I have yet to do that with the Pikemen. I think I'll base and wash the red first too before moving on to the main color and highlights.

Yesterday I started with the general.

@ Dave:  Those are beautiful!  Looking great in the hands of their creator!

@ jchaos: That guy is sick nasty!  But most impressive!
