[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Nordman Mercenary Journeymen¶

I finished the last (well, see below) models. As you may have noticed, all the horns on the helmets (also from models of the previous groups) are just black. That is, because there are only 5 models with horns, and I wanted to paint them all together, so I saved them till the end.

As I mentioned in my first post on the Nordmen, I am 6 models short of the maximum allowed number of the army list. While recently shopping for some monsters for Frostgrave with West Wind, I ordered another troop pack. You only get them as 10 model packs, so now I am a bit above the maximum allowance.

This model will get the axe cut off, and replaced by a pole for a smaller flag in Tjure's flanking unit.

I started on the next batch of 5 models. Trousers and axe handels are done; the skin has the basecoat and the first layer applied.

I painted another group of models over a couple of days; I followed the same scheme as with the other models, only some slight variations here and there.

I painted the skin with the same basecoat, but with different highlight colours on these models:

  • 70.872 Chocolate Brown
  • 70.860 Medium Flesh
  • 70.845 Sunny Skintone

With the pelts, I added a small amount of violet for a third colour to the grey and brown.

With the next batch of 5 models, I basically followed the scheme from the first group. To slightly change the appearance (it is neither a uniform for the unit nor industrially manufactured clothes), I added blue to the basecolours of all the stripes.

The shirts I also painted slightly differently, but still using the same main colours as in the first group:
