Jimmy is a nice sculpt, I do like him and the paint job is great. Another Nap? Well you are a glutton for punishment, but seeing how well they turn out I can see why they are on the paint table as they look awesome. The wraiths do look good, that ghostly glow you have going there is a great effect and I can't wait to see the unit done. Another nice read.Undercoathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637716405557886404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-86509082569730021632018-01-31T10:01:01.144-08:002018-01-31T10:01:01.144-08:00Cheers Ivor.

"Don't blink" as the Tenth Doctor used to say ;-) I really enthused with "Kings Of War" currently, but am desperately trying to stay strong with my other ongoing projects - its hard though when the minis are so great-looking :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-3230785008416175292018-01-31T06:42:47.856-08:002018-01-31T06:42:47.856-08:00Cheers Dave.

I foolishly laid down a black glaze on the sword first, thinking I wanted a base layer for the silver, and obviously thus ruined any such prospect. Hopefully, the partial corporeal look will work though. "Mantic Games" do some cool looking Wraiths, which I want to try the same trick on :-)Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-81325044240792880662018-01-31T06:40:36.005-08:002018-01-31T06:40:36.005-08:00Thanks very much Jez.

As they're new purchases though, they won't be counting towards my Painting Pledge Challenge, so I can't currently give them the time they deserve in order to finish them quickly.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-84773405595462852052018-01-31T02:40:57.978-08:002018-01-31T02:40:57.978-08:00Jimmy Marks has turned out really well.

I particularly like the shade/tone of green on the Kings of War (mantic games) figures a brilliant colour to start with.Clinthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351729764098750618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-10555278665753440192018-01-31T00:10:39.108-08:002018-01-31T00:10:39.108-08:00Great job on the hybrid Simon, shall be interestin...Great job on the hybrid Simon, shall be interesting to see how the nap turns out with the different base coat, I'm guessing the silver glaze didn't work then, you can try a green glaze over the top of the metal to help tie it inDave Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13398737478468720431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-6633591034041718472018-01-30T23:58:35.016-08:002018-01-30T23:58:35.016-08:00Hybrid is a weird but cool model and I do like how...Hybrid is a weird but cool model and I do like how you've complted him.<br /><br />As my knowledge of Napoleanics is minimal, i can't really comment on the grenadier, but the wights are lovely. I haven't currently got a use for them, but find myself drawn to them anyway.
