#84 - Harkness Knight (Citadel c1985 'The Tragedy of McDeath')

My final contribution to the party, I promise I'll stop hogging it now and leave room for other people in the final furlong. I wanted to accentuate the nice shiny green armour and dull down the shield a little; with such a bold colour scheme for the heraldry it might have looked too cartoony and swamped the whole figure otherwise. I've always thought these guys have such chiselled and angular features, they'd make good Elf knights.

Fantastic work, everyone. I do have a soft spot for those Goodwin elves.

Quick question, in the faint hope I actually finish something: by "pre-2000", do we mean that the casting itself must be from that period, or can we use more recent castings of venerable sculpts?

As long as the original sculpt is pre 2000 we have already agreed that more recent castings, providing they are legitimately done, are acceptable. People have already submitted GW official casts of old minis.

Blimey, I really hope that gat some painting time in, tomorrow (have scheduled two Tennis meetings and one appointment for picking up a load of sand, already, darn vacation  lol  )!

I think I have both of the last Citadel entries, I may be wrong about the Harkness Knight, though, and have it mixed up with a similar one...

Nice … I like the full blue-muzzle look in place of the blue nose. Gives it a sort of madrill vibe.

Great stuff!

#89: Grenadier Dragon Lords Lesser Orc with waraxe - one of the oldest Grenadier orcs, I think, though Mirliton has recently brought him and some of his kin back into production. This is an aged original.
