Is it December already? :slight_smile: I guess this is the last episode of the painting challenge this year! Some incredible models shared throughout all these months and this is the last chance to finish something before the year ends.

Does it matter if you finish this year or not? Not really! :slight_smile: But I find it a good motivation personally and I really, really hope I can finish the Palace Guard regiment I have been painting for so long! Almost there, still some work to do but … almost there!

They look really nice. Love the colour pallet choice @Swordmaster . It reminds me of the Emperor’s Guards in Gladiator.

Many thanks @Mikes. I may still throw on a shade to bring it out more, but i’ll have to wait for it to dry first.
They are a great unit for beginners, so simple to paint. The trick is in the undercoats. Dark Blue from underneath, then a white coat from above, brings a nice shadows and light effect, followed by a bit of wash, and a sprinkling of snow, (baking soda).

Another cracking elf unit. And btw your blog is really helpful for my current project of doing a GW mini Drakon unit. I’m using the same mounts but different riders!

It’s a nice model - and while smaller than the mantic giant he does look perfectly fitting

Thanks @DreadNort ! I am glad you like them so far. I have a banner to finish and someone special to add in that empty space at the back!

Great! I am really happy to know the blog is helpful for your project. Can’t wait to see the results!
