OK Warmaster fans! New photos!
First, some photos for Carrington. Here is the first unit of pistoliers, close to being finished. Proof that I am working on these!
Here is a command strip of Knights of the White Wolf. When these bad boys came to me, the banner had snapped off. I cut off part of the pole and replaced it with a brass rod. I also cut away some of the pole from the banner, so that the same brass rod connects the standard bearer with the banner. This repair is strong enough to survived even when users pick up the stand using the banner. Here's what it looks like now:
Now the stuff I've done for me:
Here are the two pike units I've finished:
Here's the new unit on its own. The official name of the unit is 'Blue Boars' but is better known as the 'War Pigs'. I decided that all my Dogs Of War units will have farm animals on their banners and have both formal and informal names. As youmight guess, the informal names will be more 'colorful'. I'm not sure of the name of the first unit pikemen. Maybe the "Dandy Lions" for the informal name. Here's the photo:
Some of you have wanted to see the full mounted Samurai unit. I used the sashimono provided by Pendraken for one stand, and made the rest myself from plastic card, paper clips and superglue.
As an aside, I ordered the rest of what I need for my Warmaster Nippon army. I hope it arrives soon. Um, I mean, soon after I finish painting units for a very intelligent gentleman in CT.
Some new Daemon stuff. Here are two Slaanesh characters that I painted. I grew to like the figures as I painted them. I'm pleased with how they came out, even though the models aren't as sexy as I want them to be.
Here is a greater Daemon of Slaanesh, courtesy of Reaper miniatures. I went for an Indian skin tone on this one as well. I haven't chosen a name for her yet, but she will be 'Mistress of the 13 Curses', referring to the runic curses enscribe on her blades. This was a lot of fun to paint! Her skin tone is a base of Tanned Flesh, with a wash of Flesh Wash and then another wash of Flesh Wash mixed with Black.
Here is a unit of Slaanesh Daemon cavalry. Love the beasts, hate the riders. I tried for something like real skin tones, but the models just don't support it. I saw Daemonette units on ebay that looked very good, which used a monochromatic paint job. If I do another unit of these, I will try that idea. I put nipples on them, but it wasn't worth the effort.
I will post more pictures as I complete units or characters. You will see more pistoliers and Knights of the WW next. I know I promised a flame tutorial, and I will get to that in the next week or so.
Thanks all!
