So I’ve been fairly busy over the last few evenings and a bit of my day off today and got my Spear Men (well actually their name is Vanari Auralan Wardens) to a point where they are close to done.
The models are really nice to paint, I did them in batch style of a set of 8 (after the test model) and still found them enjoyable to paint.
The backs of the sheilds are worth a mention, lovely crafted much better than the old school bit of flat plast I remember.
Overall really pleased with these so far I think to colour scheme works well for the unit and individuals.
Just got to figure out if I want to add any little details to them. After my last post John suggest something on the scabard which I did on the test model, I think it looks fine just not sure if it adds enough for me to do things like this to the entire squad or not.
So still got the champ to do, I’ll try to spend a bit more time on him, bases really not even sure on a theme yet and figure out if they need any extra details or not.

These are just brilliant (literally and metaphorically)! 🙂 I think I said before that those are colours I’d never be able to manage, but these figures really do look good!

Cheers John, I was apprehensive while doing it and the other half (that has a illustration degree) did give me a funny look when I mentioned my colour idea. But I’m happy with how they turned out, just got to figure out what bases might work on them.

I think sometimes you just have to give it a go, but I think they really have come out well! 🙂 I think I’d be inclined to go with a darker brown base, or a base with less grass and maybe some lighter/winter grass tufts or scattered stones (e.g. cat litter), but you might need to experiment (of course, this is from the man who tends to keep to the same earth/grass bases for his historical stuff)!

I’m thinking of a savanna but in the dry season, so cracked earth perhaps some very pale yellow grass. I’ll try it out

Those look amazing, I love the way that the colours ‘pop’. You should be very proud of these.

That’s a cool looking unit, and I agree that pale yellow grass would suit them perfectly.
