02789, Talarand the Blackguard

[Metalchaos 10414]

Hi everyone, here are pictures of the first model I painted this year. Seems like I'm having a busy January...

02789, Talarand the Blackguard was sculpted by Tim Prow. It's one of the top five favorite model I painted so far. This suit of armor is astounding.

Gorgeous work all around

OUTSTANDING! That is one evil looking Dude. Your brushwork AND color choices are WONDERFUL...I love the shield. VERY WELL DONE!

Really excellent.

Gorgeous! From the NMM, to the highlighting on the shield, to the rich velvet look of the cloak - just wow

[Darcstaar 8711]

Really splendid work.

[PingosHusband 911]

Great work.

Extremely well done. Great and convincing NMM. Love the shield and the red glimmer on his sword. I read it as a reflection of his cloak? Talking about the latter: beautifully done,  smooth transitions and not too yellow. 

 

I think the only thing that could be improved on is the basing. It seems a bit bland in comparison to the miniature.

Thanks for your appreciation everyone and thanks for your comments.

There are runes carved on the blade. I painted them as is they were burning hot, radiating the heat coming from the within the sword.

As for the base, I went with simple mud... I'm glad you like what I did. I'm now working on a Chainmail hobgoblin fighter.
