Zebraoutrider lets slip the Dogs of War
Lucezzia Belladonna joins the quest…
Another quick unit to add to the Dogs of War army. This time it’s Lucrezzia Belladonna (Citadel Miniatures’ DoW 2000). I should say it wasn’t that quick. I needed to clean off the dust and refresh the original base layers with a Carroburg Crimson wash, Reikland Fleshshade, and repaint the rather sickly green with Lothern Blue followed by a wash of Drakenhof Nightshade. I also opted for some unicorn transfers from the old Bretonnian Knights’ kit.
The base is another 50mm square Arcane Micro Art Studio. As with the General’s base, it was drybrushed using Mournfang Brown and blended with Wraithbone. Agrax Earthshade was used as a wash and Retributor Gold for the metalwork. Unlike the General’s base, I decided to make the recess full of clearish water. This was achieved with three layers of ‘ardcoat and a little splash of Thraka Green wash around the floating leaves.
I wanted to give Lucrezzia Belladonna a companion and toyed with the idea of another halfling. It didn’t look right next to the steed, so I opted for a human-sized scout/bodyguard and pulled out the Citadel Miniatures’ El-Adoran Sureshot – CO1 Fighter (1986) from my pile of shame and painted him up in the same livery colours as his Mistress. In gaming terms I thought they could act as one unit, but would enable Lucrezzia Belladonna to have a ballistic bow and arrow attack before she enters melee combat.
Very well done. The force has shaped up quite well
Thank you my friend @horati0nosebl0wer.. I’m now working on a large centrepiece model for what is becoming a fairly decent enough table-top ready army…
