Striders

A while back I needed these for an upcoming tournament. As a result these were painted fairly quickly to a tabletop quality. Still its amazing how much better a painted unit looks than a non-painted one.

This is the unit attachment. 

Here is the solo that goes with the unit. The yellow scarf helps it stand out when necessary.

Two for one posts!!!

I whipped these up with some medium bases and the banners from Man o' war Kovniks which I ordered from PP online. I cut off the anvils on top carefully and gave them to a Khador playing friend.  They feature some really nice shading, especially on the green and purple ones. I colored them specifically not to match any of the armies I regularly play.

Scythean Skin!

OK so in all the time I have been away I have put very little time in to project Scythe as I have been waiting to be able to get pictures. That means it will be moving up to the front burner as I am going to want the Scythean for some upcoming games.

Below you can see the big fellow with the rough skin. This is achieved with a series of washes each wash gets darker but also get thinned down more with water and glaze medium. The first wash is golden yellow, followed by bubonic brown and then a mix of bubonic brown and graveyard earth. All paints in this sequence are Citadel.  During this process I am not too concerned with neatness. Everything that is left is gong to be getting much darker coloration. I will also go back and clear up any areas where the wash pooled too much or otherwise doesn't look right.
