Once again, painting the fourth and last mandatory unit of the
challenge has proven to be a difficult task. Blame the blue, a color I
struggle with, and a "déjà-vu" feeling, as I had already painted most of
these models at least once. Anyway...
Lucerne was one of the
Swiss Cantons I had not addressed yet. The omission is now rectified
with this second regiment of thunderers, wearing the blue-and-white
colors of their clan.

Nothing
particular to mention on the thunderers, all from the Marauder
Miniatures range. I'm not particularly happy with the standard-bearer,
but my painting mojo was too low to adorn the banner with runes or dwarf
patterns of some sort. Anyway... the fourth regiment is done!
In
terms of points, we have 156 points of thunderers, with musician
and standard-bearer... which means that I still have to paint more than
300 points for the last month!
Lovely as always, and the blue/white is very traditional looking!
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Lissanne
DeleteGorgeous work on some lovely oldhammer minis. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteGlad you likee them. Thanks!
DeleteReally gorgeous and so full of character. Even with low mojo you always bring out the very best in the sculpts!
ReplyDeleteMaahh. Looking at them closely, I know that I should have spent more time on them. Thanks anyway.
DeleteLovely work! The dwarf, back row first from left is my favourite - I remember he has a sneaky face, like he taking VERY particular aim 😂
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the last month, I hope the mojo returns. I'm guessing the level you're painting these at, one rank and file model must seem like a veritable mountain!
Well. It's more that I had no "kind of" fun idea to introduce here. No bear, no fool, nothing at all. Hopefully this should be different for the last month.
DeletePretty neat unit. You got a perfect and natural white with the clean grey shadows, especially on that banner. Love the one with the hat and pistol that you posted earlier!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Check my blog, I have posted a picture for each dwarf if you want to see them more closely.
DeleteLovely work, as usual! Really like the tones and soft blends you get on those whites.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for the last month! You're within 300 points of the finishing line!
Hehe. The leader should be an easy 200 points. Still 100 points to find!
DeleteIncredible work as always.
ReplyDeleteThanks a lot Bill.
DeleteIt's always a pleasure for the eye!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful unit!!
ReplyDeleteWell if you're going to use Dwarfs, you might as well make a half decent job of them. nicely done
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous technique, really love the blue and pale grey - I feel you about the banners, hope you find something cool to add to them at some point because they're calling out for adornment!
