Sir Rathan Kranzhel, Human Fighter - Bones (Photo Heavy)

Here is the warrior/paladin guy from my Dragons Don't Share 2 set. He came without his shield so I used one of the new ones from Bones 3. I realized after I super glued it that I stuck it on wrong. Too bad because my super glue works tremendously well! It's not that big of a deal to me so I went ahead and painted him up. I really like how he turned out and I hope you guys do too!

 

C&C always welcome.

He looks very noble!

 

Nice reds!

[Darcstaar]

Nicely painted.

I think you can get away with that shield orientation:  I think Norman kite shields were worn with the forearm along the long axis when mounted on horseback.

I don't see anything wrong with the shield, looks good to me. Nice work.

Thanks everyone! After looking at photos of him I realized how his original shield was aligned and was like, "Oops!" Tried to pop it off and decided it didn't look bad so I would go ahead and paint him up. The new Bones 3weapon sprues are pretty nifty and made out of stiff grey plastic.

[Chaoswolf]

I think he looks great!

Good work.

He looks really good! The shield is totally fine. My one comment is that the sword has a slight but awkward bend to it.

I think that's called the Bonesium effect:)

Yep. I don't care enough to dip it in boiling water and freeze it for a slight bend in the sword. My goblin standard bearer who looked like he got run over by a tank got the boil/freeze treatment but not a slightly bent sword.

Very nice. I especially like the red cloth and the gold bits.

Yup I had the three skeleton archers, and for the life of me, I could NEVER get one of them to take:( the other two are pretty much straight standing (one better then the other but still upright) but the one would never stay, so he is now almost done following the skeleton walk-through in the core skills reaper LTPK, he just looks like he is peering around the corner shooting:)
