Thanks doc!
Got some extra Zealots for my Witch Hunter warband but since I didnt want them to all look the same and also wanted them equipped with shortbows I tested my conversion skills again. With the help of my new dremel this was easier as expected. A really great tool grind down those unwanted details.
So here are the new guys:
They arent completely different than the originals but I hope that with the right paintjob that wont show that much.
Also I finally found a fitting halfling scout to accompany them on the hunt:
Its Van Halfling from Heresy Miniatures, a really cool mini (it actually comes with 4 right hands - one with torch/crossbow/goldpouch and the wanted sign). The only downside is that hes wearing shoes, would have looked even better barefoot imho. But still looking forward to paint him up!
And now for the great achievement this weekend. As Docdom commanded, I finished the swordmasters.
This time I did the metal differently, mainly because I didnt wash it blue at all. Just mixed up mithril silver and regal blue, then gave it a very dilluted black wash and made some highlights with brighter MS and RB mix.
Which makes them alot shinier than the first unit while still having a "blueish" tone to them. And after all highelfs have to look fabulous even on the battlefield.
Tried something less "in your face" with the banner. Since I really liked how the generals banner worked out, I wanted a nightsky again with the tower of hoeth in the foreground.
And then on my way grocery shopping the idea came to mind that their banner should show some kind of a star symbol, like the "warrior" or the "sword" (allthough it looks more like a cross
) , so the nightsky itself would be the theme and not just the background.
