In addition to my lonely wizard, I started painting a unit of Imperial 'Reiksguard'. Well, mostly... they are a mix of foot knights and fighters from the marauder era, which will represent my Reiksguard. Its a good excuse to paint them up, and I like the way the unit is coming together. Oh yes, I also tossed in a WK dwarf for good measure. Why not?
So far, I have painted up 15 of the guys, though the shields are not yet done for them all. Here is the whole group:
For these figures, like the wizard, I am using a grey primer followed by a white zenith prime, and then using inks and diluted paint for most of the paintjob. The inks are very fast, and give a nice result. Though I have been going over the highest areas with some opaque paint for my final highlight, and I like how it turned out. Here are a few closeups:
These were the first five painted. Second group:
And finally, the third group:
It is turning out to be a wonderfully characterful unit, and the prolific armour makes these guys dead easy to paint up quickly. Mostly basic block colours for these guys - less time, and it still looks good in a group. Only five more to paint and my unit of twenty is finished.
These look great!
