Tale of OG Gamers - Maelzch's Mercenaries

[Dave]

not really, I just seem to sit at a funny angle instead, not too bad though

be careful with that it's really easy to bugger your back/shoulders through sitting at a strange angle.  From years of working off a laptop out at client sites I have seriously tempremental shoulders that will occassionally flare up due to pinching nerves and it's an absolute bugger.

finished this off this weekend, it's not part of the Tale, but it'll be changeable into the army. I'll be using it as a captain on pegasus.

Looking good mate... Looks like you are getting the speed vs quality equation right at last!

Coming together very nicely.

As always great stuff chequerboard effect works nicely with the black and yellow.

[maelzch]

Yeah, I find with any army I just need to get my techniques sorted for the colours I'm using, then stuff will start rolling out!

I laboured with that for ages in painting my wood elves which is why I've been put off them so many times, but recently I decided to strip back what I was doing and work out how I could get a quick and yet effective basecoat on them.  That had dropped it down to actually only being 3 colours on the figure and a wash.  But the effect is actually very similar to the many colours and very laborious approach I was taking before.  All of which has meant painting them has now ceased to be a chore and very much more appealing now.

Great figure mate, shame about the paint job....

[Garzini]

nicely done sir!

until I saw the underside shot of that birdman, I was a little concerned about where the flying base was going....
