Title: The Knights of Naralon Post by: Lost Egg on April 27, 2012, 12:12:26 pm Hi all,
I am slowly working my way through my WoT minis and have just finished putting together my knights and a pree pree. The knights are from the Order of the Naralon Forest and so wear trophies of Grimblar skin, for these rugged ladies & gents must slay one of these fearsome beasts before they will be fully inducted into the order. After a bit of a chat with Mike I discovered that the Grimblar probably has knarly, perhaps even scaled skin much like a crocodile. In the end I decided to go with a rough & rugged skin with scale towards the spine and back, much like a Devanu. This way the Grimblar kinda bridges between the Fubarnii (Mike's original sculpt of the Grimblar has Fubarnii type legs) while it is obviously a predator, like the Devanu. Anyway, heres the ladies in all their unpainted glory...

Finally my cute little PreePree...

I love the idea of the knightly order, they must be a pretty tough bunch if they hand around naralon. is marshal is same rank in twilight as irl?

I'm thinking I made the scale too chunky now so I might pop them off and start again, shouldn't take too long. Pretty much Firah, I'm thinking the marshal is the head of a number of knight stables/ barracks.

The knightly order approach is something Mike set my mind to a while ago when we met in aldershot, but I havent' made any moves into it at all. These look very distinctive with a relatively simple addition - perfect result!
Title: Re: The Knights of Naralon Post by: Lost Egg on April 28, 2012, 08:47:28 pm Merci sir! The colour scheme should help them be distinctive. I always like to create a world around the models I paint as I think it gives them a sense of character in the painting.
