As you can see I decided to keep it really simple, which was the plan from the beginning. These are not garish nomads or bizarre warlocks but no-nonsense fighters of the highlands. Their colour scheme should convey practicality and robustness, so I went for a very simple palette of cream, browns and dirty blue. For the metal I went for a very slight oxide tinge, obtained with multiple washes of Rhinox Hide and Mourning Brown.
It was very nice, easy and refreshing to paint a model in such a way, using many techniques developed in the past, especially on my old Bretonnian army.
The only part that doesn't photograph too well is the shield, where I used a very light drybrush that the light of my desk lamp make look a bit messy. I think in real life it looks better (and slightly yellower) than in the pictures.
Only heraldry and base to go now!
Could you please stop using the G word, in case you didn't know, it's a racial slur, and seeing it on a blog I otherwise really love makes me pretty uncomfortable. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI am deeply sorry, I am not a native english speaker and these are classic translation mistakes that should be corrected immediately to avoid misunderstanding.
ReplyDeleteThank you for warning me, I will change it immediately.
