Title: Empire of the dead: Requiem
Post by: Heresy on 24 May 2013, 09:44:51 AM
Hello,

I present you a batch of minis of the new expansion of Empire of the Dead: Requiem (from Westwind), recently at Kickstarter. I don't usually paint many 28mm miniatures, but I've really enjoyed painting them!.

The clothes are very grateful to paint, with very sharp bends. So, you need not break your head too much to apply the lights :). I used a very dark palette to represent the "gothic horror" of 1888 London .

Personally, I prefer the bobbies :D

Criticisms, comments, etc. are welcome!

Beautiful brushwork! Not long now till we get them though if they could just be painted up like this, that would be appreciated. Just realised I've got 55 of these little buggers coming!

Spectacular stuff.  Lovely looking flesh tones, heck far from just that.  I hope you have some painters tips on you site, I'll checking it out shortly.

You know I have God alone knows how many minis coming from this Kickstarter and every time I have been sorting through minis recently I realise I  have a figure that could take each one's place if this were just about gaming. Thank God it's not just about gaming  :D

Brilliant PJs!

Hi,

Thanks you very much for your comments!!!  :)

In a while, probably, I'll start a new batch. I can't wait :D

Booboo, in my blog you can find many guides and tutorials. However, I usually paint 15mm and vehicles: www.heresybrush.com (http://www.heresybrush.com)

Brilliant paint job, outstanding!

If I was going to be picky though, the English bobby's uniforms are supposed to be a Navy Blue, almost black. Almost everyone paints them too light coloured.

Cheers

Fuzzy  :D

Heresy, I should have asked this when I posted my original praise of your figures, but I forgot so let me ask now despite the fact that it will be a demonstration of how little I understand Kickstarters.  Is the 221b Baker Street set of figures now available for sale on the West Wind site?  I went there and saw a picture of it but saw no indication that any of this stuff is available for sale along with the original Empire of the Dead figures.  Again, beautiful painting work and I'd appreciate any guidance anyone can offer on purchasing the 221b Baker Street figures from West Wind.  Richard
Title: Re: Empire of the dead: Requiem
Post by: Elk101 on 11 June 2013, 07:39:48 AM
Richard, I don't think any of the new figures will be available for public release until after the Kickstarter backers have been sent theirs. As Andy at West Wind has to sculpt every stretch goal and perk figure that was proposed (due to the success of it) this is probably going to be about 3 months away yet (IIRC).

Elk101, thanks so much for the answer.  I'll be looking forward to that time.  Richard

Yeah, you have reason!

I used flat blue from Vallejo. Although I mix with black, the final result is too clear :(.
