(Pic heavy) Post by: Pyre on July 04, 2011, 09:27:04 pm Love 'em! The contrast between the armour and the spears is really eye-catching as is the use of the gold. I particularly like how the white armour gives the knight captain the imperious demeanour he should have. Very characterful.
Paint more! Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: KDLynch on July 04, 2011, 09:32:04 pm I have to agree with Pyre about the white armour on the knight captain. :D Very nice work, Megatron!
Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Lost Egg on July 04, 2011, 10:05:52 pm A lovely cohesive force you have there Megatron! I too like the use of the white contrast for the knight captain.

:) Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Megatron0 on July 04, 2011, 10:51:27 pm Thanks guys! I wish I had done all my militia white now!
But i have some pans for a Enipel Honour guard that will have white armour so all's good! I painted the captain differently to distinguish his rank by the wealth of his equipment. That's why his spear is a different colour :D I imagine it was a gift from the Lanak made from the wood of the great tree itself. Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights!

The force in general is excellent; I do like cohesive forces with a clear colour scheme. I like your choice of dark magenta for the main colour, it's not one which is often chosen. It goes well with the off-white of the knight captain too.
What colours are you using for your Grishak? Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Carcharoth on July 05, 2011, 07:21:58 am The knight captain looks good because of the way he contrasts with the red of the force - if they were all White then it wouldn't work as well.
An honour guard would work nicely in the same scheme as well. Ideally you would sculpt plumes onto their helmets... Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Megatron0 on July 05, 2011, 10:07:15 am Ideally you would sculpt plumes onto their helmets... Thats a good point about the Colours mike! and I Sure am giving them plumes! and new weapons too! and cloaks :D For the Grishaks im doing them a green that goes to grey in the legs and face! its coming along nicely but I probably wont get much work done on it until next weekend. Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Laughing Ferret on July 06, 2011, 09:25:23 am What a great idea.
First thing I thought of is the scene in the Elizabeth Taylor Cleopatra movie, when Richard Burton is Antony and he's surrounded by Octavian's cavalry, taunts them to kill him, but they refuse. (http://billcainonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Richard_Burton_1963.jpg) So what would a Fubarnii version of the name Antony be? ;D Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Megatron0 on July 06, 2011, 10:52:27 am What a great pic! I haven't seen the film myself but I think Anthony would capture the arrogant and Nobel feel of the knights :D
I'm also curious as to a fubarnii version of the name Anthony Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Geckilian on July 06, 2011, 11:35:49 am An'Thonai maybe?
Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights! (Pic heavy) Post by: Carcharoth on July 06, 2011, 11:45:02 am I tend to avoid 's in Fubarnii names, but that's a matter of taste. Ahnto Neh or Ahn Toneh could work...
The gold on white with red trim does fit with that image of Antony, even if the red is somewhat different. Title: Re: Completed Fubarnii force including Knights!
