Hi all,
Figured I haven't painted a WoT miniature for sometime, so I thought with the Kickstarter coming up it might be a good time to try my hand at the mounted Casanii figure I got from the Twilight Day 2015. I'm trying to paint up a load of Vikings at the moment and am getting pretty bored of endless chain-mail dry-brushing so this will make a welcome change. Plus its nice sometimes to just paint a single figure and concentrate on the details as I usually do a lot of my painting in batches to be more efficient. Also painting a single figure sees it progress a lot quicker which is good to keep up painting morale!
Here's the figure, I've already cleaned it, assembled it and based it whilst I was doing another batch of figures a while back, so its all ready to go:
I thought I'd concentrate on the rider at first. I usually dig through dinosaur pics for some inspiration but this time, as he's a sort of tribal warrior, I thought it would be interesting in attempting a sort of African tribal war paint thing with him. Perhaps straying away from my usual colourful palette and using some sort of high-contrast black and white theme. I'm not sure yet but I've looked at some photos online and this it the sort of thing I'm rambling on about:
Might be difficult to do without making the war paint look messy but we'll see how it goes!
