I’ve been working away on these Normans. I think they’re wonderful sculpts and they take paint really well with the individual details guiding the brush nicely. I have experimented on the armour a bit by painting it dark silver first then washing it with a dark blue wash before highlighting up into a brighter silver. This was a bit too bright through so when I got to the blacklining stages I went back through and wash some of the crevices and shadows with a bit of black too and I think it really pops now. ​

I’ve taken a little liberty with the straps and leathers as I thought it looked a bit silly for them to just blend into the leather armour models, so the straps are a slightly lighter hue to destinguish them.
