Wow, very, very nice miniatures you got there! Absolutely LOVE the cold one knights banner, that freehand is stunning! The bases are great too!
The cold ones are also very well-painted... but actually everything I've so far seen is pretty impressive...

Really looking forward to see more!

The dreadlord is still in progress I really need to work on blending and it`s taking ages to finish it

I really like the double color combo you're using on the knights and lord. On my spearmen I am just using purple with silver and bronze on the armor and had planned to carry that over to the CoK's but after seeing yours I might have to work in a 2nd color to make them pop more like yours. Great work.

nmm looks good. kinda thick brushlines, but if you refine that, it'd look awesome. Color and shading looks top notch.

The NMM doesn't look bad at all. The lines need to be thinner, more blending, but that's all:P

With the close-up, I see what you are talking about. The model looks great in the distance shot, but not as clean close up.

The solution might be as simple as thinning your paint a bit more. If the paint is thinned enough, it will show more of the layers below when it dries, creating a natural blending effect. Thinner paint does mean that you need to apply more layers to build up the color though.

yup - but first i needed to make sure that highlights are in proper places - hence it looks good from the distance - hopefully with my only day off (wich is tomorrow and hopefully I won`t have to work except few calls and email) and my fiance still away i might be able to pull blending trick tommorow - I estimate it for 4 -5 h of work

Leonates80 · Post by **Leonates80** » Fri Mar 05, 2010 12:22 pm

if you ask about undercoat than chaos black if you asking about snow it`s pva+bakinsoda

only 10 % to go - I`m much more pleased with result

Post by **Dyvim tvar** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 6:31 pm

Very nice -- much improved!

Planning anything special for his base?

Leonates80 · Post by **Leonates80** » Sat Mar 06, 2010 7:44 pm

yup - it``s gonna be snow like rest of my army but I cant figure out something particulary "Scenic"

Very nice NMM and I love how the rich tourquise (sp?) is set off by the gold. The cold ones may look a bit plain, compared to how much work you`ve put into their riders, but the eyes look great!
