It gives them an oddly "ancient" aspect that sets them off nicely from the usual medieval fare.

These look superb. Personally, I would mix the old and new basing i.e., flock and tufts on the same bases. I do this with my 6mm figures and it makes for a great effect.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11195959198827692724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-44248510189550142762015-01-25T07:01:54.005-06:002015-01-25T07:01:54.005-06:00Much appreciated Juan.Much appreciated Juan.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-73368729487177991902015-01-25T07:01:34.099-06:002015-01-25T07:01:34.099-06:00Thanks Millsy.

I ended up going a more hunter green because the English Yew looked a little too close to orc flesh coloring. For me Goblins are more extreme in their fabric choices, these guys are pretty muted by my standards. The Brass/ Bronze color is just something I've been gravitating to, partly to not have a sea of silver metallics. I also think it gives a more scavenged armor appearance. I need to figure out what's up with my Bolt Gun Metal. Ever since I transferred it to the dropper bottle it doesn't want to mix right. It's a crap shoot whether it will be more black or more silver. The jury is out on the tufts. I need to find the sweet spot in their use. Lastly, I was able to open sweetener packets this morning, so thumb is improving.Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428727065347379281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1391427662737871662.post-57630997111636109432015-01-24T06:10:22.269-06:002015-01-24T06:10:22.269-06:00I have no issues with them wearing green anymore t...
