The only thing I would say, is that potentially the chainmail is a bit too shiny...

Well they do say, the Devil finds work for idle hands...

"do-good Christians" HA,

Medieval Christians were not all do gooders... at least, not the warring leaders anyway. Christianity was really mostly used as a justification for terrible wars or persecution, take a look at the situation in England after William took over for example!

But the satanist take is a great metaphor for the reality though

Good stuff.

I managed to finish some more... didn't spend as much time on them as the first batch though. REally fast painting with dipping sauce and drybrushing and everything.

I don't know if it is just the delightful shields on these drawing the eye but this dipping/quick job stuff you are doing of late seems to be consistently good. Is Danish dip better than the rest of the worlds or are you doing some crazy Viking ritual or something?

For the sake of your heart and well-being I will take some close ups to really show the gory details and exact quality of these paint jobs.

Meanwhile you can have a look at the bigger picture here: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-ykzcEv27Yp8/UiN6RwBHCTI/AAAAAAAAIRo/OKNAhzRR8rU/s1600/P1250389.JPG

I think several thing's are at work here:

The skins painted proper - detracts attention from shoddy painted clothes. 'Faces and bases' as I always say.

Three 100W lamps are blazing on them smoothing it all a bit.

Thirdly, yes, the shields are hugely successful in drawing the eyes as well.

Lovely.

I can't bring myself to spend hours on each miniature with the quality of these particular plastics I'm afraid.

On the other hand - if the sculpting warrants it I can't bring myself to speed up...
