Poor men at arms

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

Poor men at arms

Post by Gunfreak » Wed Feb 11, 2015 12:17 pm

I did these are poor mercs not low quality just low in means.

I did them less colorfull then my knights, but I don't like brown medievals, as the medieval period was colorfull and color pigments were easy and cheap to get. So while some are more earth tone, I did give a few of them color, but weak colors, washed out colors. as those would be cheaper. I also gave them argax earthshade ink, both the armor and clothes, to give a trodden down look. I like them, they look good. tho I alwasys feel I've lost when I turn to inks.

Your painting continues to improve by leaps and bounds, Gunfreak! :D

Next, you'll be adding facial 'blazes' and socks to your horses. :wink:
