Bruegelburg artillery coming (upd. 21.09 - another gun crew)

[Mason]

Seriously good brushwork.
 

I can see a lot of Empire cannon crews finding themselves being made redundant in favour of these fellas...
 

[Driscoles]

Ausgezeichnet !

[Bubbles]

I was thinking of starting a warhammer empire army, I might buy most of my mini's from here now.

Really luscious colors on these ALex...your color choices are amazing!

Can you give us an idea of your technique for the metal parts on the gunnery captain...they look very realistic.

Cheers,

Blue

Thank you all for the kind comments

Chris,  first I'm dry-brushing over the black undercoat several layers of metal colours, from dark to light, after that dry-brushing of everything metal with  brown/rusty pigment color and finally metallic colours again. That gives some nice shadow effects and it doesn't looks that flat.

our first painted cannon - "Crazy Clara"!

[Captain Blood]

Lovely.

[Mason]

Lovely.

It sure is!

[Prof.Witchheimer]

Thanks. For the next one I'm probably going to try a bit more red-earth-brown for the wood, just to receive more contrast between colours of the barrell and the wooden parts.

Thanks! interesting technique...I just assumed there was a wash of some sort in there but I like the idea of using the rust color as a "middle" layer.

Cannon looks loverly BTW!

Cheers,

Hmm, I spot a similarity in the name with our "Dulle Griet" (mad Meg) Wiki-link
which by coincidence is also the name of a character by Pieter Breughel that you know al too well

Love those vibrant colours! Beautiful crew!

Great job as always Alex 
The cannon and crew are really effective togheter.

It could be a good idea. I'm curious to see the next one.

Will the other Crewmembers which were shown in the greens thread be released too? I love the guy carrying a chest, I hope you'll release that one too

Splendid work on the cannon and crew!
