Hi,

I had a lot of fun painting up these two chaps the other day:

Mini's by from Gripping Beast from their Polemarch/Successor range.

Cheers,

Darrell.

Looks good. Like the legs. I have trouble when it's just a calf sticking out from under a tunic.

To be honest there are a couple of problams with the flesh. I've been messing around with the flesh recipe as I seem to end up with results that are just too red

.

The other is that it has to be more or less consistant with what I've painted up already

.

Cheers,

Darrell.

I like to start with VMC Mahogany Brown and VMC Beige Red at a 2:3 ratio for my flesh, though I vary the ratio and add tints as needed.

Here's an example:

Seems to work very well. I'll give it a try on the next batch of mini's i paint that doesn't belong to another group/army.

Cheers,
