More McDeath fun now, the Earl of Harkness, mounted and foot. Combining the images of him on the front and back covers, I've tried to show an amalgamation of the flaming sword (sorry for the foul language), armour and shield designs. The spike in the middle of the shield does not aid fiddly painting! There's a lot going on with these models, so I've done a lot more angles than usual.

Excellent painting.

Does your comissioner now that there should be 16 maltmen? And I'm looking forward to the dray and the turtle.

Very kind.
He's sending a couple more Maltmen to bump up the numbers, but I don't know if we'll get to 16. Dray and turtle dragon remain doubtful thus far, but you never know.

Amazing! (And another entry in the roster of silly Citadel names, if I recall correctly: isn't the earl Dart of Harkness? A pointless spoonerism rather than a pun, this time, but still!)

Incredible work all round: the scabbard's superb, quite apart from all the rest. The shield must have been a nightmare to do: I always thought that the introduction of plastic shields was a very mixed blessing at best, because prep time and freehand painting both became more onerous.

You know what … the penny had never dropped about that one until now.

Good grief that's a good job on him

Wow.

I've always loved your painting, but this is the best I've seen from you, Cubs, I think. Amazing! The shield is outstanding, the sword scabbard too, but I have to be honest and admit that for some reason I keep noticing how impressed I am by his stylish boots! Basing, as always, is fantastic too. I love every bit of this/these!

To Hobgoblin, I do have to say, though - is any spoonerism truly pointless? Just another layer in the sponge cake of wonder that is Citadel in all its glory!

Amazing entries!

I greatly respect your attention to detail

The Earl Dart of Harkness is an amazing paintjob. I would never have thought of painting the armor as if it were reflecting the red glow from the flaming sword. Almost looks as if it would actually light up in the dark.

Great stuff!

Okay, Sir John Quicksure now, a knight errant from the McDeath campaign who apparently has no sympathy for painters trying to squeeze a griffon onto a shield with a dirty great spike in the middle!
