My 10mm Kings of War project

[Techno]

:-  For some reason the Undecided button now seems to need an extra
And I needed two  to get one to show

I found that happened yesterday when I tried to use it....If you preview, you only get :- coming up.

I'll try the extra \ then, Paul........... (Interesting you have to put TWO \ in, just to get ONE to show.)

Huzzah....That works..well spotted, that man !!

The dark base coat, dry brush of silver all over, then paint the other bits. Its a good technique for 10mm armoured troops. I used it extensively on my High Elves, the silver over the black gives a bit of highlighting when you come to paint those areas.

Almost done basecoating these.  Cant decide what color their scabbards and shoes should be.  Also, right after starting I decided that I can't quite work out what kind of "command" figs the units should have vs. what should be reserved for generals and standard bearers until the package from Pendraken arrives.

They're looking sharp!  I do like that standard bearer quite a bit.

They do look very tasty - nice colour palette!

They look good. Boots, I'd just go with brown - at this scale they tend to get lost in the basing quite easily.

Scabbards either blue or the same as the shields. Too many small areas of different colours can end up a bit jarring.

This seemed like good advice, so I took it.



Originally I was thinking of adding some gold trim to the shields and helmets but I'm thinking I'll save that for the command models.

[edit] Forgot to mention that I can't take credit for the color scheme.  It's basically stolen from something I saw on TMP.

Oh, and here are some orcish experiments.

[Steve J]

Lovely work and I agree that boots tend to disappear into the base when flocked.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Yup, look great!

Orcish experiments successful

[lowlylowlycook]

Right when the orcs were halfway through painting their Thanksgiving decorations on their shields, they were rudely interrupted by a band of Dwarves. 



These guys turned out all right but I'll have to think a bit about how to best do them and since I'll be mixing in a lot of Pendraken goblins I'll wait until those arrive.  Probably should have experimented on one stand at a time.



One thing that I'm noticing now that I'm working on these Copplestone sculpts is that I'm not convinced that, outside of some things like leather boots, they would be improved by a dip. 

Maybe that means I need to paint with brighter colors.

Maybe that means I need to paint with brighter colors.

In 10mm paint two shades brighter than 28mm
