More awesome stuff! I just bought 3 more realm of chaos Chaos Warriors. Nurgle, Slaanesh and Khorne.

I went for rosy skin on this guy for a bit more of a comical look. I love the big staring eye.

[Elk101]

Lovely additions. I do like that troll. I've been looking at them myself, funnily enough.

[Cubs]

More lovelies … what a top drawer thread this is.

It's the 5th already and no-one has used the word Orctober!

. Next thing up is an orc from me

#65 - Banquo (Citadel c1985 'The Tragedy of McDeath')

  The first time I painted this model years ago I chickened out and painted him without the tartan. This time around I thought that was churlish (it's only a little bit and it's a simple enough pattern) and he looks all the better for the correct colour scheme.

  that's a simple tarten, eh? Looks amazing to me.

Compared to some of the horrors I've had to paint over the years, it was a doddle! Thin brush, thin paint, bit of patience, that's all it takes.

[Nicklas P]

Gorgeous paintjob! I love how you painted the face and hair.

[Captain Blood]

Ohhhhhhhhh. Banquo. What a great figure, and superbly painted of course.

[ecurtz]

Everything in this thread has been terrific. I'm glad I slipped in early while things were still busy so I could hide my relatively modest job in the crowd! 

Cubs' work on The Tragedy of McDeath has been the highlight for me, and really sums up the thread. Terrific paint jobs on such a weird old bit of GW history.

[JollyBob]

Oh, Cubs, that's just awesome! 

How do you manage to get them so gritty and luminous at the same time?

[beefcake]

Thats a very nice mini with an awesome paintjob. How does it compare sizewise to other citadel stuff. Is it more of a 25mm or heroic 28?

[Cubs]

Thanks dudes, it's a pretty easy figure to paint in fairness - most of it is the mail hauberk.

Size-wise these McDeaths are … urm … probably bigger than your old school 25mm but smaller than the heroic scale 28mm, so kind of in the middle.

[Hobgoblin]

Lovely stuff! Looks like a candle to me.

(If anyone can tell me what the thing on the following miniature's left shoulder is, I'd be much obliged.)

#66 - Agaroth the Unwashed
