All fair points.
Well, if I ever do feel like getting back to it, an additional lighter higlight to the mane and tail might create the necessary contrast.

Also just showed the Mrs the sculpt and she reckons with that curly coat that the pony's got cushing's disease anyhoo!  :D

This is the champion for the classic handgunners. This is not a real new paintjob, but an old paintjob that was touched up (a lot) to bring it close to the standard of the rest of the unit.

They're no bigger than usually. Maybe the site they're on is slow today. ???

All very very nice

I love the vivid colours you have gone for , I wouldn't have the confidence to try that.

I am just trying to get the hang of half yellow and half purple

I've seen him and others like the halberdier champion with the eyepatch and the great swordsmen with helmet and visor down who's punching the air with his free hand  for around £15-£20 a piece - made me smile as I'd been flicking through old White Dwarfs and seen them advertised at the back for a quid or so!

I remember painting those Empire gunners for my local store when they first came out. Nice job WK - but they are still too tall!

I'm not too fond of the whole puffy sleeves thing, but this is getting better and better for every post! =) Really like the bright colours. Isn't it time for a new army shot soon? In comparison to the one on page 1.

I'd like to hold out on that until I've had a chance to touch up all the old models. Or otherwise do an armyshot restricted to the more recent ones.
