My first Bretonnian

Hello all. Haven't posted for a while and haven't painted much recently. Spent a while building my recently purchased bretonnian army (well over 4k worth of stuff for a couple of hundred quid. Hurrah for e-bay!) for a big 9k battle we at the code had a couple of weeks ago.
Finally started in on the knights tho and here are few pics of the first knights of the realm gallant.

As you can see it's coming along well. Needs some final highlights and a gloss varnish on the black leather, the device on his shields and barding, a few final details such as the horses eyes and teeth and then the base to do.
I tried the new glazes for the first time on this model; yellow glaze on the orange cloth and blue glaze on the blue cloth, both as the last coat after highlighting. Not convinced yet as to their usefulness in that role but I'll keep experimenting.
All the knights in this army will have unique colour schemes whilst my peasants will all be wearing the colours of my Lord and his house which will include all the heroes who are his sons. As I get more done I'll post pics.

I'm also about to start a goblin army too so that I can switch between the two differing armies and thus painting styles so as to keep my interest up.
More on the green terror later tho...........

That's it for now. More pics to come of the finished gallant soon.

Necrons Rising

Hi Guys,

Red Mist here, I've been quite for a while, what with holidays, the football and gardening. But that doesn't mean I have been idle in the evening.

As you know DOC and myself decided to pool our Necron forces, what with GW prices the way they are, and what a good idea it has been.

 Now rising from the earth is the Royal Court, 2 Lords and 5 crypteks ready to do battle.

 

And what better to fight by the side of them than a rock hard destroyer lord, with a +2 armour save,  resurrection orb, toughness of 6 and now with an AP1 weapon, everyone had better watch out.

 

Also rising is a squad of Lychguard, with toughness and strenth of 5, AP3 weapons and +4 inv save these guys are truly kick-ass, just ask DOCs space wolves.

What's that coming over the hill, just Necron skimmers that's what, in the shape of a Ghost Ark and Annilation Barge, (photo not available)

 

What's next you ask well just look to the sky....

a DOOM SCYTHE, really looking forward to testing out this bad boy in 6th.

Well that's it from me for now, next project lined up, a second scythe and a certain Necron bodyguard.

Red Mist signing off.

A Busy Weekend

After having a disappointing sporting weekend (Lewis being rammed off the track by a nutter and England's slow painful Euro exit finally happening, I though a bit of cheering up would be in order.

so here is Draigo

and here is Stern (i have had this model for a while and only just got round to painting him)

and finally some more paladin (they still have some details to pick out, eyes etc. but are almost done).

so that is 10 down 10 to go. i should be able to get them done by next week!

The First 5 Paladins

As mentioned above with all the football on it gives me plenty of time to do some painting.

I have completed 5 paladins now (minus some details)

I did have some close up pics bu they are too blurry to be any good

so that is 5 down and 15 to go! I have built up the last 2 hammer arms, sprayed and washed them. I will weapon swap the 2 guys this weekend so everything is now WYSWYG

Paladin Update

well with all the sitting down and watching the football gives me loads of time to paint (multi-tasking)

and at last an update! i have done a fair bit on the paladins

they are all washed now and helmets/weapons base coated.

7 have moved on a bit further with some highlighting and some washes

this is pretty much a complete one. a few more details and highlights to finish him off

there i so much detail on the newer models. as i am painting old metal ones and the new plastic the difference between them is huge.

also this is my idea for the banner

the other squad has a red border. i think i will pick the detail out in non-metallic gold not sure how it will work but you can only try.

and finally getting my daughter involved

she is calling it Mulan as it is a girl dressed as a boy warrior......she is starting the princess chapter

edit: due to using XP and IE7 i am having difficulties uplaoding pics at the moment i will add later
