Your initiation into the Cult of Wash is almost complete...

Although, I don't think it worked to well on the Elves. The rest is looking good though.

Nice update James and some great miniatures!

Ugluk looks particularly good, mind sharing the colour scheme for his skin?

Really nice dude, i wish i could paint like that :-D

Corsair · **Posted:** Wed Aug 26, 2009 9:22 pm

Thanks all!

Ugluks skin.

just codex grey, and codex grey and white highlights, and finally white highlights (water it down or it shows too much), then merge it all together with a few washes (badab black or devlan mud. SURPRISE SURPRISE)

Cool, I'll try it out, thanks James.

Hey all, Another update.

Got this mini from warlord games. The celtic army standard bearer. I am planning on making him into a Rohan Banner bearer. he is holding a human head - painted green it should be fine...

Any comments, advice ideas on the conversion welcome before i start.

thanks

Corsair

Looks fabulous James, the picture you've posted actually does it a lot more justice than that one on their website.

I think if you had an actual Rohirrim Banner Bearer and stole the banner from him then it'd look fantastic, but that'd mean buying another model (unless you aleady have one in the backlog somewhere).

funny that, i thought it showed less: metal + flash = fail

yeah i thought that, but it would be painful to buy my £1.80 celtic banner bearer and chop up the GW one to make him into one. Was supposed to be budget :lol:

will probs be paper...

Thanks

I think it might be the paintjob on Warlord games picture, I don't like their paintjob at all

C&C!?!?!

Looks very good James, I usually don't like paper banners but you've managed to get the blowing in the wind look really effectively.

Corsair · **Posted:** Wed Sep 09, 2009 7:29 pm

Cheers Jake :-D

Hallpers · **Posted:** Wed Sep 09, 2009 7:29 pm

Looks terrific, James. :yay:

Very nice James! Good to see you removed that swine from the top

Very well done! Nice figure aswell

gaarew · **Posted:** Wed Sep 09, 2009 8:26 pm

I think you should have replaced the Boar top with a little horse.

:wink:

Red Corsairs · **Posted:** Wed Sep 09, 2009 8:26 pm

One thing that I've noticed (and I'm being very nitpicky here) is just above the hand where the banner is, it is a bit wonky and misshapen. Not a huge problem, just it's been bugging me what was wrong with it

Corsair · **Posted:** Wed Sep 09, 2009 8:52 pm

thanks chaps

Jake, you know metal poles really are a pain sometimes...best just to leave it rather than risk snapping it.

John. my skills aren't that advance :sad:

The idea did come to mind though :oops:

The Ancient British Cavalry box comes with a couple of metal standards topped off with a little horse and some wolf tails.

:wink:

Very nice work on the banner conversion, James. Usually I'm not a fan of home made banners, but this one is shaping up to be really good.

Corsair · **Posted:** Thu Sep 10, 2009 3:47 pm

Josh. Cheers

John. yeah it undoubtedly would look amazing with a little horse. But tbh, i shant buy an entire box of other manufacturers minis unless i could truly use them in lotr (somewhat feel at home is what i am aiming for) which is obviously gonna be hard to acheive in a number of cases.
