A sad month for updates, so here's one for the road, 2014. I finished up a Paladin Household for EpiComp, the Knight Paladins in front are done and the ones in back are awaiting yellow highlights and all the details.

I added a pennant to the seneschal to further differentiate him from the standard knights. The checks are hand painted but the fleur-de-lis is a decal from Ginfritter's Gnomish Workshop.

I held off on the bases as I wanted to make sure they were all uniform (a problem of mine). I got some plastic HO scale ferns and plants that I think will work good for a jungle world.

My buddy Eric over at Direct Fire and I had our first full fleet maiden voyage of Man O' War this past Saturday. I took some shots and got to use the handy counters I got for the game.

Started a slight tangent for this weekend, after glueing some pennants on my Man O' War Empire fleet last week I put down the base coats and washes on each.

The colors are different enough to keep the squadrons separate, I'd like to add decals at somepoint but tracking down The Armory decals I'm after isn't easy for cheap.

In knightly news, I got the yellow down on the Crusaders...

as well as the Errants. I think I'm going to go back and paint some parts on the Power Gauntlets blue as well.

Finally, I added some yellow to the Paladins gun casings.

Still working on the yellow, I've managed all the Paladins and the Castellans at this point.

I also took a Seneschal a few steps further. Aside from touch-up and highlights on the metal this guy is pretty much done. Any thoughts or suggestions? The yellow turned out a little greener that I was hoping for, I was aiming for a warmer tone like the pictures of House Lakar in Codex Titanicus. It was the first time I painted yellow and also the first time I used pure white as a highlight.

The fleur de lis is a decal from Ginfritter's Gnomish Workshop. Annoyingly, you have to cut them each out which is pretty difficult as they're tiny, hard to see and extremely close together. I had some checker decals too but make those work was going to that much more difficult given the angels and curves so I ended up free handing them.

I've been working on the Knights these past weeks. As a heads up, painting yellow is SLOW. You think I would have taken the Internet's word on it, but no. I didn't get a chance to paint this Monday, but last Monday I blocked out the blue and did one Knight up in yellow. I'm thinking I'm going to finish him up to get a feel for the scheme before batch painting the others. Yes, that'll likely mean this guy will be slightly different than the rest.

In other news, I'm working on the Warmonger Miniatures studio Landsknechte. I've done the skin at this point. I'm going to paint up the hair/beards and then see if it needs anymore work.

I forgot to mention it here, but I did a Kickstarter back in June: 10mm German Landsknechte with Zweihänder (Great Swords). It was funded and I've since received both the Zweihänder and the Pikemen production models:

Once I've fulfilled the pledges they'll be available for sale up on the Warmonger Miniatures website (I'm guessing two weeks at this point).
