Irish Kern
« on: 22 September 2021, 10:46:37 AM »
Irish Kern with two handed weapons, thought i'd get some photographs in prior to basing.

There are two head swaps in there but otherwise painted straight from the pack, a nice novelty for me !

I've really enjoyed painting these, especially the variety in tone on the leine, from a deep rich yellow saffron on the commander through to light and faded on some of the warriors with lots in between.

I used the Wargames Foundry Ochre palette with a variety of different washes.

Enjoy !

More great work Stuart, love em. Question, the leaders helmet looks s bit green to me. Is it cloth covered or painted helmet? A oxidized bronze helmet? Or a colourful cloth l start helmet?
Again they look wonderful.

Gosh! They are superb! I've been thinking of adding a unit or two to my army and your figures may have pushed me into doing so. Great stuff!
