[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Bretonnian Chevaliers Errants¶

The next knight is done. The paint scheme was again inspired by (aka shamelessly stolen from) this blog.

Compared with the historical knights, I was at first happy that with the fantasy ones the barding was much more dynamic, flowing around the horse. This would certainly be nice for uniform barding. Not so for regularly painted patterns... the diamonds you see in the photos are the 3rd try, and still, if I follow various lines and creases on the barding, they don't turn out right - but at least now, when looking at the model from a distance, they don't look totally off.

I was also not able to match them in any convincing way at the top, that is why the red stripe runs along the top. I am convinced that the sculptor did something wrong; either that or my brain cannot fold (pun intended) around the crinkles...


[Spirit Island]¶
Towns¶

The towns are painted.

The second knight is done. The paint scheme was inspired by (aka shamelessly stolen from) this blog. With the head on the heraldry I tried to copy the front view of the head on the helmet.

The first knight is done. The paint scheme was also taken from the same White Dwarf article the standard bearer and the the unit champion were inspired by.


[Kickstarter]¶
Nemesis¶

I backed another Kickstarter - Nemesis, by Awaken Realms. I saw a demo video back in Novembre if I remember correctly and was instantly hooked. When the Kickstarter went live I immediately backed it - well, I thought that I was quite early.

I read the message of the opening of the Kickstarter after work. Then the project was already funded - 50,000 GBP within 4 minutes. My backer number was already in the 8,000. There was obviously some more nerds beside me interested in the game :-)

Yesterday, the campaign ended with 30,553 backers that spent a total of 3,080,833 of the initially requested 50,000! Awesome.

Now I can't wait to get the game...


[Spirit Island]¶
Cities¶

I basecoated the citiess in black.


[Spirit Island]¶
Towns¶

I basecoated the towns in black.


[Spirit Island]¶
Dahan¶

I basecoated the models in black. I then painted the ground in dark brown and drybrushed it with earth brown. The huts were then basecoated in khaki.

Then huts and ground were drybrushed in sand (upper two rows).


[Spirit Island]¶
Explorers¶

The Conquistadores' base colours are done. Next up will be an oil wash


[Warfork Fantasy Battles]¶
Bretonnian Chevaliers Errants¶

Ok, time to move on. I prepared the second batch of models, these are from the Fantasy Range of Black Tree Design. I painted the horses, the saddles, the armour and leather on the knights. Then I re-coated everything else black.

Ready to start on the fun part, the coat of arms.
