GoT Greyjoy project, Men at arms painted, plus Victarion.

[Jockjay]

Hi guys,

Bit of an update, had a week away with work but took my paints with me. Here is my test bod and first unit (unit needs basing).

Did the bases as a sand colour to make the guys pop out a bit, also looks like a beach assault or raids in the east. I needed a colour to break up the greys/browns so i went for a dark sea green type thingy.

Free-handing the Kraken  was fun. But i had had a few beers when doing the chest ones on the unit. SO they need a bit of work. I like the shield one though.











In regards to the hand axes, I chinned them off as after building my 'Fierce foot' of 6 two handed axes and 6 buckler/ hand weapon. I realised if I put more axes on, they may look....too 'axey' .

I want at least some fighters with a bit of finesse!

Really very nice 
Love the way you've done the Kraken sigil - simple but effective. Nice work.

[Jockjay]

Thanks Cap, I was going to add an extra layer of highlight but my freehand is inconsistent and I would only cock it up, plus it looks ok as a flat colour. Next up is my 12 men at arms on foot. Thinking of adding some more regalia and colour to them, probably not canon but they are Victarion's elite boarding crew, so a bit of artistic license going down.

Very nice! I agree with the Captain, nice shield work. Good colors overall!

Thanks lads. Only 70 more models to go.... well 48 for my 24 point retinue, but I like options.

Welcome to the club of Westerosi!

Dark and gritty, just as the Greyjoy must look.
Good painting ! 

[Silent Invader]

Very nicely done

Men at arms painted up. I have done Victarion and his elite bodyguard as one group of 6, and 3 pairs of nobles (as noble as can be from the Iron Isles) from houses Wynch, Blacktyde and Drumm.

Getting there, apologies I don't take the best pics. No studio etc.

Loving these. Very nice painting...

Loving these. Very nice painting...

Yep, the captain's right, good job!

For the photos: I use IrfanView, a simple but effective tool: crop the image, auto adjust colors for white whites ( ) and finally resize to 640 pixels width.

Give it a try.
