Showcase: Saga Rus Princes Warlord

Well I got one piece completely ready for CincyCon this coming March. My painting speed sucks, and it didn't help that I insist on using two part epoxy to glue on the bow case, quiver, shield, and sword. This means waiting overnight for it to dry so you can handle it. I don't know if this will make them more gaming proof, but we'll see.

Any ways I hope you enjoy the pictures of this lad. I used a generic figure for my Warlord because the one Gripping Beast makes just doesn't look right in my opinion. Love all the other mounted heavies they have, but I feel they fell short with the Warlord figure. Shield is Little Big Men designs, everything else was my paint brush.


Thanks for looking
Cheers
Kevin

      As always you are way too kind, thanks Skip. I hope to show you later this month the tip of the spear with these boys so you can appreciate them even more;)

    Superb vignette, Kevin. A lot of detail not only in the painting, but also the basing - and it pays off well.

      Thanks Dean, I've learned a lot by looking at other peoples work and trying to analyze how I could do better or incorporate.

    Nicely done once again Kevin. I wouldn't worry about painting slowly when the end result is such good quality!

    I second what Skip says and the base really ties everything together.

    I paint a figure every two weeks (god willing).

      Thanks Dave! We should form a club like Gentlemen did in the old days. Like "the league of extrodinary gentlemen"... or more like for us "the league of extrodinary slow old painting dudes":)

      Cheers
