The Swordmasters (Part 4)

 

Unit 2 finished.

Continuing from last time, here is the command section of Unit 2. These are the last three models I need to complete to finish the unit. The delay was caused by how I had to base these guys and build up the scene  on their individual bases. 

The Bladelord.

Basecoats. 

I made this guy's base to seem as if he is standing over an animal's warren or den.  It reminded me of the farm I lived on in Berkshire  back in "80s which seemed to have biggest rabbit population I have ever witnessed. 

Fully painted. 

The Standard Bearer.

Base coats.

This base was very craggy and rocky and I think it came out well. The fallen leaves help sell the scene I think. I am really pleased with how the banner turned out. It is mostly Asurmen Blue faded down to a light blue. The trick is to paint it upside down so that the Contrast Paint runs toward the top and collects to darken at the top. 

Fully painted.

The Musician. 

Base coats.

This guy's base isn't nearly as rocky as his peers but I still think he looks quite commanding on his tactical... mound.

Fully painted.

Blow that horn brother!

And here they are joined to their unit. 

Joined to their unit.

And that's twenty Swordmasters of Hoeth painted over the course of just a few weeks.  And there was also a bolt thrower done in the same period. 

Twenty Swordmasters! 

Well, there are even more units in the works as I progress towards getting up to a 1000 points of fully painted High Elves. Keep watching out for those updates!
