Question: Is that banner custom or does the unit come with that?

I agree, Ogryn Flesh is more pink than I would like. A bit of green or purple or something to tone it down works wonders.Originally posted by Avelorn
Nice!Love the sculpt as well. However I think you should mix a bit of green into the ogryn flesh wash as I find the deep shading a bit red. For added realism it is often a good idea to desaturate the deepest shadows.
Just a quick note, I was playing around with skintones the other day and found one I\'m really happy with.
Tallarn Flesh, washed with a slightly thinned Devlan Mud with a hint of Leviathan Purple mixed in. Reapply Tallarn flesh, hilight, then another wash of the Mud/Purple mix. Reapply the final hilight in a few hotspots if you need to.
I\'m never happy with skintones, but this one has been working well so far. Thought I\'d let you know

There seems to be a lot of \"best of...\" threads popping up these days.
I can honestly say this is one of the best threads this site has.
Straightforward, enjoyable, wickedly well photographed, highly instructive
and inspiring without being overwhelming.
Your speed and focus is freaky.
Bravo.
P.S. - You should do a photography tutorial.....

Cheers folks
Thanks for the tip on that skintone Jericho. I\'ll give that recipe a try sometime!
@cfwheeler: I don\'t consider my photography anything special, but thanks for the kind words! I don\'t know anything about cameras, so it is probably just because I bought a really good one. All I do is use 2 lamps with a white pillow case or sheets of paper as a backdrop. Then I just do \"Auto Levels\" and \"Lighten Shadows\" in photoshop, and crop the image. Real simple
Here\'s the next unit of archers. The army battle standard is coming up next.

That\'s it, you\'ve done it! Once I finish my Bretonnian Lord conversion, the rest of the army is gonna get painted!
Great job! I\'ve never been a fan of the older Bret models, but you\'ve given them so much life and expression! You have a great gift of painting the models in such a way that it fits the sculpt too. Keep it up!

Got a lot of new photos to post here. Been too busy painting like a maniac to get any pictures taken. But I snapped a few this evening (came out a little dark, but it\'ll do)
Next up is another unit of Knights of the Realm.
Thanks for looking!

Finally done with these Brets. Been a long process but fun none the less!
Very good chance that the owner of this army will be coming to Phoenix for a grand tournament. If that\'s the case I will make sure to take some photos of the army in action.
Sorry for the photos not being the greatest. I don\'t have my optimum photo setup yet at the new house.
Thank you all for following this project. All of the comments mean a lot and helped keep me motivated.
Until the next WIP,
