You’re right … if the faces weren’t there, I would know! And the models / armies look great at eye height in a display case in my room, so there s that.
For tabletop though faces are really overkill … so I really should stop painting the eyes of every elf … but will I? Never ever!!! Hah!!! (For “cheating” I’ve got my undead after all … and models with full helmet )
@Mikes “For tabletop though faces are really overkill … so I really should stop painting the eyes of every elf … but will I?”
yeah, i’m with you on that one. Generally, that’s the level my painting is at , Table Top Level.If it looks good from a couple of feet away, “That’ll do, Pig”
Although it depends on the model and how much I like it/of that model I’ve already painted, or have yet to paint. Rank and File, I tend to get them looking ok and then put them on the base and do the finidhing touches once the unit is in place… because, I’m a total chancer.
Finished my regiment of Soul Reaver Infantry.
Minis are Slaves to Darkness Warriors with a few Skorne Praetorian headswaps. My phone really pumps up those reds!
The first models i ever painted since being an adult were some goblins for vanguard. I’ve built a base using cork, washers and magnets to make them into a regiment of rabble
Front row are in a slot cut into the cork to make them a wee bit lower. Next two ranks have magnets and then stick to washers glued on to the cork.
This way i can still use them for vanguard and i can use for KoW. Whilst it is technically below recommended model count, the base looks full enough to me.
Thanks, I’m going to use a similar approach using some dungeon saga origins models, albeit with round bases, so I will need to adapt it a bit. In also using this method for several ogre units, so i can use them in vanguard too.
