Thanks for the kind words guys!

Although I do think that you have to be bolder to paint the flames on white cloaks, just because of the lack of contrast. So in this case the different color scheme saved me alot of work. hehe

wow, great painting, and awesome banner!

The flames look great Guth. The feathers could maybe use a light drybrush, but that's nitpicking. If you're happy and done with them then they're done.

This is gold, boy, pure gold. Congratulations!

Great work as always. I like the dynamic banner. The rays and the landing phoenix make it really special. Only one thing I also had on my mind and I have to agree with Dave. (also that it's nitpicking)

The feathers could maybe use a light drybrush, but that's nitpicking.

I thought of a little bit more contrast like you did on the red feathers of the command group.

Thanks again guys!

The feathers are kommando khaki with a bleached bone highlight. (the contrast isnt strong but its there- i swear. ) But the highlight were also kinda rushed, since I wanted them done  at that point. Also I didnt want to go to white because I intentionally wanted them darker than the cloth for a more natural look.

So I call them done since way too much time went into them already.

Also those rays really work wonders, at first I just had the phoenix on there and it looked very "meh" but they add a great dynamic to the image. Those actually save many of my banners from looking dull. (like swordmasters tower)

Got a pack of mini airplanes on friday and also had my first game of "Check your 6", so freshly motivated I had to paint some at once.
Here are my 2 fighter squadrons for our upcomming Battle of Britain campaign:

Hawker Hurricanes and Spitfires:

 
Love the minis (Tumbling Dice 1/600), nice detail at a low price and quick to paint. But now its back to the painting table and some elves.

more elves... GREAT!

Motivated by the Hobbit movie I ended my painting break and painted up old Gandalf.



Since the blockade is now broken again, Ill continue work on the last bowelf unit to finally finish the 2000 points.
