I love how you blended in the colours on the cloaks, and the way you've caught the theme and captured the mouth on the snarling figure is brilliant. All wonky teeth and (no doubt) bad breath! I don't know if you have the Mordheim rulebook (you used to be able to download it, and second hand copies are fairly cheap), but it's a work of art. The best looking wargames rulebook I've ever read!Sidney Roundwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14795563060856586670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-62732876454880717342013-04-29T17:53:33.832-06:002013-04-29T17:53:33.832-06:00Thanks Byron!

Even though I've entered these figures into a painting competition I still painted them for the wargames table. Who knows maybe I'll try some eyes later in the League.<br /><br />I realize greyscale is an acquired taste so I don't begrudge my loss. That being said I do agree with your comment that many don't realize how difficult an effect it is to replicate. I can only paint that way for so long and then I have to take a break.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-44629447908745215632013-04-29T17:43:58.081-06:002013-04-29T17:43:58.081-06:00Very nice again Curt.

I saw one comment on the forums there, and have to agree, what's with no one seeming painting eyes. Neither you nor your opponent did them this week, and it detracts (in my opinion at least) from otherwise wonderfully painted figures.<br /><br />I still thought yours were better though and you got my vote. This week was closer though. Still can't figure out how you lost last week though, obviously not enough people have tried to paint B&W and found out how hard it is to do even half decently, never mind how well yours turned out.ByronMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290492763955225660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-45986563359821875912013-04-29T10:34:33.196-06:002013-04-29T10:34:33.196-06:00Bless your beard, Seb.

Nonetheless, this is one of the reasons why I designed my Painting Challenge to be just that, merely a challenge with no over-riding judgement of skill, artistry, etc. I find it helps to create a more easy going, supportive environment. It's no better, just a different approach.Curthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202047917371080576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5113124494092492419.post-9486293491864693872013-04-28T17:12:36.309-06:002013-04-28T17:12:36.309-06:00Nice looking bunch.
