This unit might be just as challenging as the Warrior's Sons, because painting alabaster effects is not something that I have done before! This was actually my first attempt. As you can see by the card art, the surface does not quite look like metal.
I had been told that the armor should be painted more like porcelain, but all the pictures I could glean from the show clearly showed a metal surface! So, I had to try am mesh all three possible surface textures together.
The shield has an opalescent feel to it, which is something that I was hoping for.
For the cloaks, I wanted to work in other colors with the white, such as these purples and greens. You can see that principle at work here in this video on painting white: https://youtu.be/dB4qtag5r9g
If you want to see how this unit was primed, I have my first video tutorial on that process up on the YouTube Channel: https://youtu.be/5pfwjapw98A
There are some other elements to this unit which wil be fun to paint, such as the 4 banners that go with them! This should also be a very fun Oil Painting exercise! I will be doing more tutorials on these for the Patreon Page, which you will be able to find here: www.patreon.com/JamesWappel
That looks amazing
