It´s good enough? And you will become better as you keep doing it, I´m sure! Imagine my ham-fisted claws doing that.. Would look awful! It´s great! Haha thanks! I feel out of practice on freehand, but you're right, it will get better with practice. Day 219: Finished up freehand on that group. And did the next.

Day 220: Did a last highlight on the flesh. Unit needs a movement tray and base swaps, but they're very nearly done.

Day 221: Had an eventful evening (ER trip for two kids - don't worry, they're fine). I decided to do something quick and straightforward and blocked in the basecoats for the metals on Karl Franz.

Day 226: Wasn't thrilled with the bases how they were, so I added more texture. I then basecoated the texture paint.

That plumage on Franz looks excellent. What paint did you shade the blue feathers/cloth with?

That plumage on Franz looks excellent. What paint did you shade the blue feathers/cloth with? The blue up to that point is GW Macragge Blue shaded with Khorne Red and highlighted with Altdorf Guard Blue. I love how red looks shaded with blue, but I'm less sold on the blue shaded with red. I gave the blue a blue wash with GW Drakenhoff Nightshade tonight, I'd love to get your thoughts. Day 231: Washes to the skin, metals, and blue feathers/cloth.

The blue feather shaded by red is really unusual but it works - an Empire character is judged by how exotic their plumage is, and that certainly fits the bill. I don't think it makes so much sense with the cloth around his waist, which you wouldn't expect to match the feather colours, and doesn't have a reason that it would be red in the recesses.
