Pirates for Gierburg
« on: November 12, 2016, 03:30:07 PM »
A couple of North Star pirates with the rest being Foundry I painted up the other week. These will be heading off to Cianty's city of Gierburg soon. If you're not familiar with Gierburg check out Cianty's blog for some rather nice pics (and quite a few models painted by me).






There'll be more pirates on the way too once I've cleared a few other jobs.  :)

Lovely paint job :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*
I am that used to seeing these figures painted in bright colours but your muted colours work extremely well

Cheers :)

I might have been tempted to include a few brighter colours here and there but was asked to go for dark muted colours and no Hollywood nonsense.

Once again a fantastic paint job by Simon.  :-* :-* :-*
I wanted these to have more of a "Black Sails" atmosphere than the usual fancy pirates. I think they turned out perfect. Can't wait to set them up with my terrain.

Love the muted tones.  I haven't seen some of those poses before. Will have to check them out.

Great painting.  As others have said, the muted colours work really well.

Beautiful paint jobs on the figures, stunning work on the cityscape, and those blasted bases!  Pet peeve so feel free to ignore.  But perhaps something can be done to better blend the bases?  Like try to match the stonework?  Just a thought.
