After a short hiatus from the Harlequins, I'm back on track with the next (and easiest) part of the troupe completed. Assuming I ever play 40k again, I wanted the Solitaire, which is relatively easily killed, to not be painted as some grand miniature on the battlefield. I wanted the model to be forgettable and painted like a model that doesn't really matter that much to my tactics on the table, just like an IG basic foot-soldier; when, in actuality, the Solitaire would play an important role in my army's strategy. It's a game of psychology here at TLA! More pics after the jump.
Another tidbit: You may or may not be able to tell from these pictures' angles, but aside from metalics, purples (can you tell I love purple, yet?) and blacks, the only other paint used was on the diamond trail behind the model which splashed with some white as a callback to Motley from The Mask of Vyle novel for anyone who's read it.
Until next time.
That looks awesome dude, I think the limited palette really works and you've done a great job making it really pop even without any bright colours to draw your eye, great work :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Carl! I'm likely going to do some sealing and additions to it today; once you I see close-up pics of models I usually notice a million things I've missed haha
DeleteI love the contrast between the quiet crayon-green meadow and the mini's few solid colour palette, excellent choice!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm getting a lot of compliments on the grass and its contrast to the dark Harlequins I'm going for/an original kind of basing for such a dark-toned game. In all honesty, though, I just had too much basing grass and thought that if I'm putting so much effort into the diamond patterns, I'll go with the easiest & most easily accessible basing option I have. Thank you, regardless. Despite the means, I'm glad everyone seems to enjoy the ends
