My First Completed Unit (DRs)

Post by Sharad hett »

I finally finished basing my unit of dark riders. The reason one model is different from the others is because I wanted to have all the models in the unit be unique, but I got duplicates of a model when I ordered. Eventually I'll have 2 units of 5, so it will work out.

I realize most people don't like gloss varnish for looks, but I kind of like having my models look a little shiny. Therefore, I decided not to put a matte varnish over the gloss.

I know my painting isn't the best, but I'm working on it. It is my first completed unit. :) Let me know what you think.

edit: LOL - can't believe I forgot the link.

As surprising as this may seem, a link to the models would help :shock:
I'm just joking, but I wanna see them!!!

Well, some shading would work wonders. Try some black ink blended with water. 1/10 ratio in mulyiple layers works good for me.
The bases are really cool though! Quite out of the ordinary :D .

Very cool models. I like the blue color scheme too. But I would repaint the spear shafts into a darker tone.
Much better than my first models :P
