30 DoP Part, wait what was I on? Oh yeah, XVII!

Ok so it’s been a little while but here we go a real legit post with a new model and everything!  Today we have an empire captain for my Empire army I’m building.  I tried a few new things on this guy while painting.  The first was going a little lighter on my highlights.  I keep reading to not be afraid to get really close to white when highlighting and I think it does help.  It really worked on the gloves and cloth.  Another technique that I have mixed feelings on is painting the static grass.  I’ve seen a lot of people do this, and I’m not sure its something I like.  I might have to perfect it so I’ll keep trying.  Sadly the sword got a little blown out in the photo, but I was trying a different style for the sword with better placed highlights and low lights.  Over all finishing this guy has inspired me a bit to work on my empire army again.  Something I can’t spend too much time in as I have to finish a few items that need selling so I can fund my foray into 6th edition.  I’m not missing out on the collectors edition this time.

The question is, do I want to buy the collectors edition or the gamers edition?

That aside, Enjoy!
