Manda's (Amachan) Epirote Warband
Warlord (Pyrrhus)
Warlord (Pyrrhus)
My warlord will be Pyrrhus of Epirus. The model I use for him will be Pyrrhus (PYR31) from Aventine Miniatures. He will be joined on a 60mm base by the trumpeter and the banner bearer from the Command in Breastpaltes and cloaks (HCP04) from Aventine Miniatures as well. In terms of painting there will be some changes to his paint scheme. His cloak, tunic and the head crest will be painted with Vallejo Model Color Royal Purple (70.810). Any metal armour will be painted with Vallejo Model Air Steel (71.065) and any details will be painted with either Vallejo Model Color Bronze (70.998) and Scale 75 Metal N’ Alchemy Elven Gold (SC-74) which will all be drybrushed with Vallejo Model Air Silver RLM01 (71.063). And then we get to his horse. He will obviously be on a white horse (basically the leopard paint scheme without the dots) with reigns painted in Vallejo Panzer Aces Stencil (70.313). Now, he does a have a leopard skin over his horse, which will be a bitch to paint. I will be blending Vallejo Model Color Desert Yellow (70.977) on the top to Vallejo Model Color Ivory (70.918) on the edges with a bit of Vallejo Airbrush Flow Improver (71.262) as a medium. Once that is dry I will add little dots, I will try circles but I doubt I can do that, with Scale 75 Scalecolor Petroleum Grey (SC-57). Any other details will be done with whatever colour I find appropriate.
SAGA
In SAGA I will either use him as the legendary unit Pyrrhus I, King of Epirus or as a basic warlord mounted on a horse.
