First of all, Merry Christmas! I have had a fantastic week, filled with laughter, cold beaches, good times and family. I finally got around to playing guitar again today and it was so worth it! I Have also been busy at my desk, painting, planning, and making a mess.
The assassins are still far away from completion but they are now assembled, primed, base-coated and I have started the mission of adding the required detail. You can hardly see it on the photo here, but I tried to add a faint touch of blue to the black armour on this Vindicare Assassin. It needs a lot more colour! I seem to forget often in painting, that during the early stages of trying something new, most things need to be exaggerated... this is definitely one of those times!
Here is the finished model, the red and green marine from earlier... as you can see, things got a bit bright and went from the idea of a battle worn, deep, dark red, to that of a Blood Angel, with a bit of a Christmas twist... and on the right here, is a very different, metallic green and purple idea. I wanted something different and here it is, let me know what you think!
To finish off this post, I thought I would show a picture of my first attempt at non-metallic metal! I'm sure my camera is taking out a bit of blue cause there was supposed to be a bit of colour in there... but anyway, here is the dark armour of a knight in my Bretonnian Army. Some black background heraldry is going to happen here, probably with white or red to add contrast.
