Moonstone with not multi award winning painting

Step 5
I painted the belts and straps with a P3 paint beast hide but was not happy as I thought the brown was too light.
Step 6
The thigh pads were red and red and yellow in the art work so I used all of my imagination and copied this. I also painted the sword handle.
This is now when I got distracted with some of the football and didn’t bother taking any pictures of the next steps.
I essentially darkened the leatherwork with a couple of shades and then highlighted it again. I painted the fur a cream colour shaded agrax and then dry brushed over the original colour I think it was wraithbone but not sure.
I highlighted the thigh plates and added the sunburst symbol. I tried to add some chipping but it did not work.

When I have the Commonwealth completed I will picture them all together.
I have also got an image of Sir Hogwash in progress at about 85%ish complete. So hoping to complete him in the next couple of days or so.
I really like your painting, even if it is not ‘multi-award winning’, and I think they look great! I see you bought the starter set. What did you think of it. I have mixed feelings.

If they were more crystal-like, if would be more appealing. I will have to buy the rulebook anyway, and I got new dice for like 2 euros from China! Love to… Read more »
Thanks for the compliment
Tbh I haven’t played the game yet – more of a painter than a player. However, I generally liked the box set and I got a bit of a discount when I picked it up at Salute with the rule book. Agree the dice could have been nicer (easily upgraded) but I liked the card decks.
I would recommend the actual hard back rulebook especially if you like a bit of ‘fluff’ as it is nicely presented. Also quite like The Awakening book.
