I stuck to the same palette as the test model, which worked just dandy across the models. I particularly enjoyed painting the eyes, giving them bright blue eyes to give them some pop and tie them into other units. I added some gloss to each one, which really does the trick. I may come back and add a second scout unit in time, or a dead deflated guardian for an objective or casualty marker.
Now that the guardians are done I'm going to take a break from the Shadow Empire and head over to Khornetown to work on an AoS Skirmish warband. After that though, it'll be either vampires, the three storms or terracotta cavalry for the next addition to the army.
Lo Pan looks right at home with these lads. Right, that's my lot. May Ching Dai have mercy on you until next time.
These look wonderful. I love the detailing on the eyes, the bloodshot/pink look, and the iris and pupils. Great miniatures and painting. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Lee! The eyes were the most fun bit.

DeleteExcellent bases and those eyes - so natural and in some magic way fit excellent to "faces" (angry, boring, hmm sleepy like). Absolutely amazing work!
