This week I have been enjoying painting more of the lovely Border Reivers from Flags of War. Thank you to those of you who commented on the colours I used in my first lot last week - I took that as validation to stick with a similar palette. I'm trying to keep a few splashes of the most obvious and more saturated colours for clothing of the heidmen and the richer sorts, toning it down for their poorer followers.
So first up, this is the heidman of the Kerr family and a couple of richer sorts.
These two are also from the Kerr family set, and can't quite afford the same level of nice clothing and armour (or haven't stolen any yet).
Since I was minding my girlfriend's dogs this week, I was inspired to paint up a dog handler (on foot and mounted) with his mastiffs. My girlfriend's mini Schnauzer and Maltese were no help at all with choosing the colours, but did curl up at my feet while I was painting.
And finally, I revisited my Presbyterian youth with this dour man of the cloth, bringing his own version of muscular Christianity to the borders.
From Millsy:
Another lovely addition to your growing collection of Reivers Alan. Like the last batch these are a wonderfully subtle paint job that suits the subject so well. You Presbiterian cleric is a gem, such a dynamic pose and your nailed the highlights on the black.
Just because they have four legs doesn't make a woofer any less of a 28mm mini so that's 60 more points added to your total. Even more please!
Cheers,
Millsy
Again, splendid work there.
ReplyDeleteThough I think your fire and sword dour Presbyter is the best of the figures (though they're all great). I love the various shades of gray and highlights that make for a really dynamic figure. Great stuff!
