Professor, forgive the ignorance of a newbie, but which company carries this color? I am looking for a better native skin tone than the ones carried in the Foundry paint first series,

Absolutely top notch :love: Skin tone is superb, and the uncluttered base really sets the figure off. Are you still using the same colours on the base Prof?

Nicey!

I've been putting off painting my masked ones, as I was unsure how to proceed with them. Those masks are quite easy to muck up, as I found when I tried to paint my masked archers. Your scheme is simple yet elegant, and works perfectly.

I aim to unashamedly steal your ideas!

my Africa inspiration this time has an indefinite character. Not really a special theme, I just pick anything what I like and paint it.

Those aren't Ngoni shields...

I know, just using what i have , seems that Foundry doesnt care about the shields they are wraping up in blisters  :(

Title: Witch Doctors and Warchiefs
Post by: Plynkes on May 03, 2007, 07:32:38 PM

I suppose as they don't actually label any of their figures as being Ngoni then they aren't actually conning you. But it is annoying how you can't pick what shields you get, the way you could when the range first came out.

The Ngoni isangoma figure isn't Foundry by the way. But as he doesn't have a shield anyway it doesn't make any difference!  :)

Very nice work Alex.

Where is the plastic tree from that Grimm commented on you not painting (the one on page 2 of this thread)? Looks useful.

I want one of those funny little Azande hats. I think it would go well with my three-button maroon mod suit.


(I think I hardly need add the "Lovely painting, Alex" part any more. That is pretty much a given.)
