WHFB: Dark Elf Heroes WIP

As well as various tanks under the lick of the brush, my Characters on Cold Ones have seen some progress:

They’re at the stage of dry brushing the highlights. However in the current heat, the paint is drying too quickly and rapidly cogging up the brush so I had stopped, not wanting to ruin them.

Then today, I went round to Byakhee Rich’s Pinning service, and he showed me his solution, or rather one I’d heard about but never tried. Wet pallette painting. I’ll be trying it out later today, with his home brewed version (and my knock off copy).

Whilst at Rich’s, I picked up some stuff that he had pinned previously. The Witch King, and a Raging Heroes character. I’d opted for the pointing arm rather than the sword, as there is insufficient room in a DE chariot.

The arms of both needed pinning, and the cloak of Malekith’s. In addition, I wanted to be able to swap heroes in and out of the chariot, so the feet needed magnets.

Rich had earlier commented via e-mail:

Got bored and pinned some Dark Elves. Very pleased with how the Raging Heroes lassie went onto the chariot – the mini is so well balanced that you can stand her up without the magnets.

And indeed she does… now to add her and the chariot to the ‘to do’ list.
