Elizabethan Sea dogs and small gun
« on: 13 April 2008, 07:31:58 AM »
I've got three painting projects going at once: Darkest Africa, some pulp and some Foundry Elizabethan sea dogs for use with Legends of the High Seas (or Mordheim, or whatever my friends and I have at hand and fell like playing.)
Here's a few I've finished so far (some of these are BIG pics):

Nicely done. Like the colour combinations and the technque which is quite impressionistic. Especially on that last figure with the shield.
Also love the halberds you have used - are these GW / Mordheim spares?

I`ve not seen those halberds before, though the ones with the fringe look like ECW partizans.

Redoubt do some nicely modelled ones with wood grain and the tangs for attaching to the pole etc.

Thanks, Captain (and everybody else)

The halberds, indeed, are GW spares. The blue halberdier's (converted pikeman) blade is from a classic Empire hero, and the halberdier w/shield's blade is from the hook halberd off of one of the empire War Wagon crew. (The shield is a Foundry viking shield, btw.)

And thanks, Cpt, for noticing my impressionistic technique! That's what I'm going for; Since most of these are meant more for gaming and less for showcasing, it allowed me to throw down color "roughly" where it needs to go, with plenty of blacklining and contrast. I'm glad my technique showed itself :)
