Todays subjects are not only these fine warriors (these are the ones I was talking about earlier, about how run down the plastic-injection moulds for the Warriors of Minas Tirith must be - they models were in a really bad shape, which you can see, if you can differentiate the bad models from my shaky painting) but also my camera. I took the time to start experiment with it and have finally found almost everything I need to take better pictures. Except some sort of elusive ISO-thingie which is impossible to find. It is said that this legendary ISO might be the reason why some pictures get a lot of white pixels evenly spread over the image.
Back to the dudes. The inspiration is obviously from Battle Hosts. Considering to make a white and gold banner. You can see the banner bearer in the front. So that needs to be done. A LOT of tidying up, which the pictures actually helped me with, the faults are easier to spot when on images.
Noticed that blogger finally made it happen: I can finally make indentations instead of pressing enter twice to separate the different pieces of text. Now the blog will perhaps look less like a fourteen year old's school essay on a shitbook and maybe more like a thirty-or-so's very serious blog about minis.
Good day
Although this paint scheme isn't my favourite I think you've managed to pull it off since the gold is sort of framing the steel. I think you could go either way with the shields -- maybe give some special characters white shields? What did you end up doing?
SvaraRaderaMany thanks. I must admit I am quite surprised you approve of the scheme. The shields stayed black, but the banner will be white with gold - although I read somewhere that white/silver and gold were never mixed back in the day... wonder why, maybe yellow and white were too difficult to distinguish from one another?
