Feeling the need for a little nostalgia (of sorts), so I decided to return to my roots as it were and paint up a nice, old-fashioned knight.
This one's from the Frostgrave range. Nice solid sculpt and very reminiscent of old school models. Straightforward, not masses of detail obscuring the basics.
I was going to do some heraldic design on the surcoat, but in the end was pleased with the shaded look. I may add a shield on the model's back with something suitable in the future.
My shading is improving, but it's still a bit ragged in places. The surcoat has a base of old GW Snot Green, shaded with GW's old green wash, then successive highlights by adding Iraqi Sand to the Snot Green.
He looks great, what a helmet!
