Knight Hospitalers and Uma Sorrensen
And, as hinted before, the rest of the Hospitalers. Somewhat accidentally I also painted Uma Sorensen (alternative pose) from Defiance set. She was prepped and the colours matched, at the beginning. She was actually source of frustration as she is to small for me, I just can’t see which detail is what, where It begins or ends… anyway, I probably painted her three times and in the end used completely different paints and techniques to the rest of the PanO troops bellow.
Oh, and to avoid upsetting the project system with too many pictures I compiled them into 4+1 (BTW I somehow managed to skip one pose on the HMG guy).
One happy familly

Like in this gorgeous example by Shizune:
Brilliant work! Congrats – worthy off of a Golden Button on each mini.
Thanks!
