Title: Crusader Warband: Outremer: Faith and Blood
Post by: Legiocustodes on May 29, 2017, 10:47:00 PM
This week I've been working on a Crusader warband for my up-and-coming
skirmish game, Outremer: Faith and Blood.

I've been working on this warband for a while and have just added a few more heavy hitters to it. I've used a red and yellow colour scheme throughout in order to give the force a sense of cohesion and tie the fighters together on the battlefield. There is a mix of heavy and light infantry in the force to provide some tactical options to the warband, along with some ranged firepower to support the melee fighters.

Those figs strike that perfect balance between "bright colorful pop" and "muted realism" for me.  Great painting!  :-* :-*

A bit of a mix really; I use dark brown as a basecoat; then citadel old flesh basepaint for the first layer; AP flesh wash then work up through Citadel Dwarf and Elf flesh. I mix in a bit of brown and bone colour in at different points to provide contrast and tone. Lots of diluted layesrs
