The Saga of Symbaroum
Faction - Barbarians - Witches
A very quick update. This guy was painted separately to the rest of the Gaoian models Because as one of the Barbarian witches, although he looks like the Gaoians (on account of him being a spare Miniatures from the Gallic Chariot set), I am doing a fairly standard colour scheme for the witches, much like I will with the Wrathguard. The Witches will be wearing mostly neutral greys and browns rather than the colours of their native clan. I have to say, he’s a very chonky model, easily 28mm heroic in size and possibly almost into the 32mm range. He isn’t the only one either, I purchased a few models from Warlord games’ Hail Caesar range to act as, well, warlords for the northern barbarian clans army and the scale is all over the place. Some match with this guy, others like dwarfs stood next to him. Anyway, more on that when I get around to painting the war chiefs. One other disappointing discovery is that Glistening Blood from The Army Painter is, well, pants. It’s not even remotely the right shade of red. I suspect that I might be switching back to Citadel for the special effects because, like the (exceedingly glossy) Army Painter washes, they’re just not as good as the citadel equivalent. Speed Paints my choice over citadel because of the consistency and intensity of the pigmentation. Washes and special effects not so much.
