Fred's 2014 Painting Diary

[fred.]

Bit more work on the Fire Elementals - gone back to the original style, or black shadows, red, then yellow


New ones on the right, older on the left. The new ones use a brighter yellow, that looks very bright in these photos


All 6 stands of fire elementals (looking a bit out of focus, perhaps its heat haze...)

Also remembered to take a photo of the extra stands of Forest Shamblers

These were painted at the weekend. They are a mix of Pendraken and Splintered Light figures

Both new & old look good to me!

  Fred, particularly like the scorched ground they've advanced over, nice touch

Good spot! I think this was my own idea, it came to me when I started flocking the bases, and realised any grass behind them would be burnt.

[Leman]

Excellent stuff.

looking good

Some photos from last night - forgot to post them yesterday.

Neither set is Pendraken (boo, hiss) but both are 10mm

Damn, really wish if backed that Kickstarter for the Landsknectes!

Too lot are looking tasty as well

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Nice Fred!

Thanks chaps, the cavalry are Kallistra a couple of their eastern European codes - they are going to form some irregular lancers to augment my Empire forces.

The Warmonger Landsnekcts are very nice - almost too nice, they have so much detail, I'm not quite sure how to paint them! I think they are due to be on sale shortly outside the kickstarter, they only downside is that the shipping and customs soon add up. What they need is a UK distributor....

[toxicpixie]

A UK distributer would be lovely... Still, I might dabble when I see the price. I do need some extras and if they're not utterly unreasonable, Xmas is coming

[fred.]

Bit more work on the lancers - and enough painted to get them based up.



Still need to add a wash, and probably some highlights after that.

Another unit pretty much done, and just over the weekend.

[Maenoferren]

I do like those lancers
