Well I love the ideas behind this. The sky and earth picture on the shield, the checkered cloak all executed very well. |

Nothing to worry about with the freehand cloak. Looks amazing and is tough to keep consistent with the all the folds. You've managed it just fine. Shield is awesome too. get that banner done ![]() |

You never cease to amaze man. That is looking incredible. I need to try a shield like that. Looking fantastic! |

The shield is outstanding as is the work on the cloak. With the cloak it's not a matter of how good it is as that is without question, but if it fits the miniature and the rest of the paint job in your own eyes (because at the end of the day you are the one who needs to be happy with it). |

I know your not happy but this is still a really nice piece. I think the standing on the Orc is a good idea. All in all a good job mate. |

Thanks Gandalf! To be honest, I think I should have done a little better in the poll. I'll try not to complain though, at least I made it in the top 5. I'll definitely be entering the next challenge, but first I'm going to do some "normal" painting first. I'll post pictures when I can. -PoW |

I think I know what you mean about the colours... its just so different from what we are used to see from the movies and most armies around. I think what feels 'weird' is the type of yellow you went for the checkered pattern. Maybe if you had used the same type of goldish colour you used in the banner filligreen wouldn't 'clash' as much. Dunno... I'd keep going, really. Its a very original and catchy scheme, and you can see there is a ton of good work done on this minis. |

I'm really liking the colour choice on this guy. The nmm helmet doesn't necessarily look gold, but it looks really good either way! You did a good job with the face and eye, which can sometimes be hard with these types of helmets. If there was one thing to improve, it would be the blending on the cloak. I really like the colour transition, but a few midtone glazes would smooth out the transitions a lot. (I'm noticing it mostly on the third sharp ripple, where there are three very clear layers.) |

Nice solid work. Are you going to work the blend on the cloak some more ? It depends what standard you are aiming for. Dark flesh is also good for shading yellow. |

Gondorians - very nice! Warrior of Rohan - I like the face - I always have trouble with faces. Like remembering who people are... know the face but the name escapes me. ![]() |

The blue and yellow works great on the Rohirrim. Excellent choice. And of course the painting is up to your usual standard of awesome. Keep it up! |

Thanks everyone! I'm glad you like it, the face in particular was difficult to do, but I'm glad you all think it turned out good. I did work on the blending some more and I think it looks a bit better. It actually wasn't as bad as it is in the picture, but it did still need work for sure. Gandalf the Grey, thanks for the tip! I'll be sure to give it a try. Sorry for not being around lately, I just stared working full time again for the summer, and have been very tired. I've gotten back into the swing of things though so I should be able to get some painting done this week. Any other comments would be great. Just knowing you like it keeps me going, and I'm always open to advice. -PoW |

Liking what your doing, always do. The easterling is really coming along just push the contrast a little more, darker in the shades. A touch more mid tone, you want the brightest highlight to be no more than a dot. This may help. http://mallysminiatures.blogspot.co.uk/ ... -gold.html Also your purple cloth, get a really thin glaze of this and apply it to the areas of gold that are near the cloth, it will then pick up the reflection and help tie them in together. |

I'm really liking the colour schemes you've got going on. The rohan warrior looks great, even if it's not the normal green scheme. And the Easterling! Wow, the teal and purple go together splendidly! As far as improvements go, it's hard to say because it looks like some of the cloth highlights have been washed out by the flash. The teal looks a little flat, and the purple I can see the highlights on, but it doesn't quite 'pop' as much as it could. But, like I said, it very well could be better irl. |
