Part of the "touching up" I did for the others included repainting the bows - as I no longer had the same brown I used on the originals and I do like consistency within units...

I did try to paint the new one to look like the others - though, looking at these pictures, I noticed the leaves on the new one's cape turned out quite a bit brighter and don'e have quite as much definition or contrast between the light and shaded parts... But overall I am happy with how well he fits in with the rest. timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-69509985770918547122016-01-15T12:05:46.560-08:002016-01-15T12:05:46.560-08:00I'm really impressed with the consistency in y...I'm really impressed with the consistency in your painting style over the years Tim.

I started doing that after a couple years after high school when everyone I used to play with moved away and I found myself with armies with no opponents. I vowed form then on to always do both sides of a conflict so I could always have an opponent. I could get anyone to play the opponent - even people who weren't really into the hobby painting aspect of it.<br /><br /> I really liked that self-balancing aspect of creating both forces. I hate the warhammer method of each player bringing x number of points and doing battle as I always felt I lost before the battle even began as I played against people that were better at figuring out what units were better. I even resented when we were playing Hordes of the things when a few people actually DID start making their own armies - because they would build armies designed to beat mine... what fun. <br /><br />Of course on the flipside is, after a decade or so of providing for everyone I've started looking back and the thousands of dollars and hours I've put into the hobby only to play with guys that haven't put anything into it and just show up when they've nothing better to do... well... I've grown to resent that a bit too... Which is probably I why I mostly just like playing with my kids now... timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9140646711960604590.post-58196575580518193562016-01-15T10:06:15.560-08:002016-01-15T10:06:15.560-08:00They look superb!
