More Reiksguard

 A couple more GW Reiksgard from the 1990s.  One was unpainted, the other just required a day or so in Dettol, and then cleaned up nicely.

 

Not sure about that flail.  Looks like a good way to spend a whole battle rapping your own knuckles.  Good job he's wearing gauntlets!

Thought it might be useful (for me as much as anything) to record how they were painted.  I started from bare metal, cleaned and given a good scrub to make it as shiny as possible.  Then a wash of GW Nuln Oil.


They then get a progressive highlight by careful drybrushing with Vallejo Chainmail Silver, followed by silver.  Details and other colours are then added; undercoating specific areas if they need it.

Best part about these two though?  No pesky eyes to paint!
