Re: Elendor's Host of the White Tower

Looking forward to seeing them painted up. The best trick to freehand I have found is just picking a relatively simple design and painting it up on paper a few times to get the lines in right before going for the actual banner. It gives you time to work out how everything will fit together. Good luc...

Re: Antelano's High Elves

Wow they look fantastic, nice little headswap on the bolt thrower crewman (crewelf?) and your basing looks brilliant. What do you use for the wee shrubs and flowers?

Re: WHFB Albion Concept Artwork by Matthew Klaas de Witte (D

It goes backwards and forwards yeah, the Roman helmet design of the 1st-3rd centuries is Gallic for instance, but you can trace coinage of the iron age in Britain to staters given to Cisalpine mercenaries in the 4th century BCE. People tend to never be from "Group X" and "Group Y"...

If I may suggest, I would add some brighter red highlights, especially to the helm.

Re: Th3_5had0w_K1ng Painted Characters & Units

Thanks so much guys. Any tips on painting pale Cothique yellow? As you're reckoning on more of a pale yellow than a warm yellow, I'd avoid washes with brown, red, orange etc which are the norm. I would try experimenting with a thinned green ink or grey to give it more of a pale sea feel, this shoul...
