Red, this is so amazing!

How long did you need to paint them?

Lovely work on the bright, patterned cloth.

I'm not sure how they managed to kill that Norman without using weapons, though.

I guess they are commission work and the customer wanted them that way.

2- 2 1/2hrs each, I've been working on speed techniques :D  (get a cocktail stick and some GW washes and.....)

yep, if the spears are too far from the body it can increase the parcel size by a third.


thanks for the comments much appreciated :)

That's one of the most visually stunning units I've ever seen.  The free-hand patterning is simply out of this world. Us Franks were certainly defeated in the style stakes, weren't we?

Very nice Red.
Jaw dropingly gorgeous.  :o
You actually managed to out do your infantry units.

Wow - very striking

Is the cocktail stick for the dots or keeping the eyelids open during those long painting sessions lol
