This week I had a crack at painting black armour. I painted them panzer gray then a black wash then highlight again with the panzer grey. Only one cool King like figure is in the foot Knight box. A shame because it so cool and the head would be good to stick on one of the mounted plastic knights.
Welcome to the Painting Challenge. Here you will find the fabulous, fevered work of miniature painters from around the world. While participants come from every ethnicity, gender, age and nationality, they have three things in common: they love miniatures, they enjoy a supportive community, and they want to set themselves against the Challenge. This site features the current year's event along with the archives of past Painting Challenges. Enjoy your visit and remember to come back soon.

From BrendonW - Presenting King of Beers and Friends (90 Points)
Perry Miniatures 28mm plastics from the War of the Roses sets. 14 on foot and 2 mounted dudes. Not as much completed this week as last week but managed to build a few figures and enough to run out of 25mm bases. Should be re supplied soon through the mail and I have enough to paint for now. Also some of the week was used for completing a Myth bonus them entry. Should be plenty of amazing visions there.

Great work Brendon - and I love the approach to dark steel armour - I will have to try that out. These look great.
ReplyDeleteNice work that King figure looks bad ass, his body langue practically screams if you want some one killed right you got to kill him your self!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking group. The black armor turned out really nice and the king is excellent!
ReplyDeleteAnother cracking addition to your force Brendon. The black armour is wonderful and something you hardly ever see.
ReplyDeleteReally impressed by the black armour. Cool idea
ReplyDeleteExcellent work on the blackened armour Brendon and a cool set of figures :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely Brendon (the King of Bacon is suitably regal)! I like where you're going with the black armour but I'm wondering if a final satin varnish might give them more of a sheen as the Panzer Grey seems a bit flat. If you look at black armour from the period it has a reflective quality to it. Anyway, just a suggestion. :)
ReplyDeleteAgreed! They look too matt and need a little shine but perhaps not gloss. I found them very tricky and was not 100% satisfied at the end.
