The Swordsmen cometh...


I have been hammering away at the Greatswords for a while... doing all the 'grunt' work like painting the bases, movement tray, and the Shaded Basecoats.


Lately I have been doing some glazing across the unit as well.  Every so often, I just have to finish one completely to keep from going nuts :-)


So, one more joins the fray!  More to come...


A bit of practice here and there.


Back to the Reaper minis that were considered for some of the videos.  This one was a candidate for fur, since it was becoming very difficult to find any sort of critter that did not have a rider, or was not covered in armor.

I was also trying to stay away from much bigger miniatures as well.  This one had potential, since it had fur in a few different places.  I thought it could be a nice practical application for painting fur instructions.


The other reason for considering it was that I already had some here.  They were being saved for a Slaine Campaign.


Instead, it has served as a test for painting kilts on the Victoria Miniatures Highland Moss Guard!
