Wonderful painting, as always.

And your Mordred looks very promising. I hope to see the painted version soon !

The warlord looks very promising. Good choice on the dogs.

The metal bits didn't photograph very well, especially the face on the Ribchester face-mask helmet -which is my least favorite part of the mini. Oh well. As a child of the 80s I couldn't portray Mordred without his Excalibur-esque helmet. Once I finish the model's display base, I will try to get a better photograph.

Nice!

That is a beautiful mini. I love the facial armour, despite your misgivings. I think it fits Mordred perfectly.

I remember the movie you are referring to. I really liked it, though, even as a kid the full plate looked funny to me for the Dark Ages. I was a strange kid.

Could I suggest a little shading and highlighting of the gold/bronze helmet? It looks a bit monochromatic.

And those ears, perhaps, should be flesh as opposed to metal. Just my unsolicited two cents on your magnificent painting.

The silver/steel face looks PERFECT, though. You did a GREAT job of capturing that cold, heartless look.

On a side-note, I remember a guy who had a faceplate like this in a Battle of the Nations tournament. It was, somehow, terrifying to go up against him even though he was smaller than I and had a light weapon that tied up both hands.

My eye saw a human face but it was, somehow, just not right. The other helmets looked like helmets and were not so scary but this faceplate had a surprising and deep effect. So strange.

Pretty certain the ears too are metal on this type of helmet. Nobody said they were practical!

Very nice, I like the vibrancy, helps bring out the dynamic nature of the pose.

I finished Mordred's display base. Looking at the completed model, I wish I had added some red to the hounds to strengthen the visual connection between hounds and Mordred.

Here's Mordred and his two faithful hounds, Satan and Lucifer.

Wow, that base is just fantastic.

Thanks.

The plan is to incorporate into my army display board a dozen or so fallen and fleeing Saxons.

Very nice indeed. I see what you mean about the red but I don't think it diminishes what is a fantastic composition.

That sounds like a great way to tie the whole army together and make a wonderful display. I'm looking forward to seeing it.
