Title: Fireforge Commission (update Oct 16)
Post by: killshot on 26 August 2015, 02:02:50 AM: I've started work on a Foreforge commission and thought I start a log of the progress. The first part of the project will be 6 Mounted Sergeants with crossbows.

Post by: killshot on 30 August 2015, 11:14:16 PM: An update today, I normally like to paint 4 figures at a time but decided to start with two to make sure I still have the paint scheme down. I will do the bases when I've completed the first 6 cavalry figures.

Post by: killshot on 05 September 2015, 03:45:26 PM: I started with a mixture of black and dryad bark (GW paint) for the base coat. Straight dryad bark for the mid-tone, and highlighted with dryad bark and beasty brown (Vallejo). The dark colored mane and nose is black, highlighted with dark grey from Vallejo. The light colored mane is beasty brown, ink washed with brown ink, then beasty brown, and highlighted with beasty brown and a bone color. The flesh colored nose is how I paint all flesh, Vallejo red leather, dwarf skin, and highlighted with elf flesh. Hope that helps.

Thank you very Much for the information Killshot This will come in handy for when I paint my un barded Sergeants on Horses.

Post by: killshot on 19 October 2015, 02:29:49 AM: Thanks all, I need to complete the bases. They'll get some dead grass and snow. I'm waiting to get more of them finished and I'll do all of them at once. Eight spearmen, 4 armed with hand weapons, and 6 mounted with hand weapons remain for the commission.

Post by: Captain Blood on 19 October 2015, 04:03:59 PM: Nice paintwork indeed Killshot :)

The FF sergeants are a bandy legged bunch though. Glad to see the new Medieval Russian set in the pipeline looks to have more upright poses.
