Title: Completed so far ... now with added Devanu
Post by: nelly on April 24, 2016, 08:51:35 pm
Well, I started buying the models way back in the dim and murky past when I was working in Afghanistan, apparently the knights and militia are some of the first batches.

I painted these in the evenings of the week running up to Salute, and finally did the bases this afternoon (not sooner as I was away on business)

Anyway, and Empire force and a trader

Really nice choice of different colours arose the force. They look unique and varied, but maintain a cohesion within the force - great result! And great basing too. Keep it up!

Nice job. I take it is not your first time painting minis. I was thinking of painting my bases in a flat black but am forced to reconsider in view of your nice brown bases.

Yes it was

That's good!
I do love the look of the old spears, aside from the bendyness! I've still got my original Knights and militia, so just have to straighten the spears occasionally...

I like the brown trim to the bases. I've varied over the years whether I prefer the black trims to frame the miniature, or something that lets them blend more into the scenery, but I like how you've done yours.

Are they getting some devanu to defend against next, or have you got another plan?

Always nice to see a well painted force and one with an alternative paint scheme.

A fantastic looking force, colourful but yet with a clear coherence.
This is a great alternative colour scheme!

So, this weekend I finished what Devanu I had lurking in the box of metal :)

I went for a more muted natural predator colour pallette, with the odd splash of colour to make them slightly more "civilised".

Very good choice of colours!!
I like that you stayed with the "natural" look. ;)

Again, the bases are spectacular!! :o
Where do you get al the different plant types?

Keep up the good work.

Lovely stuff! Keep them coming!

The tufts of the base and the brown bushes are from eBay, a seller called tajima1; the flowers are by mininatur

Thanks for the comments, got my Delgon and Casanii to do still...

Lovely basework again.....keep em coming :)

Top notch
Love all the colours and then the contrast of the Devanu is a great idea making them camo-ed for hunting

nice job.  :) I like the gravel layout on which the models are grouped. it makes for a nice picture of the Devanu in a dry  waste.

I pity the fubarnii who happens to run across that little hunting pack. They may look great, but with Arak Katan nearby I doubt they'll have time to appreciate the great muted paintwork  ;)
