Johan and the Gunsmiths

Winter has started and the rain has come so it's been a good time to sit inside and get Johan and the Gunsmiths painted up ready for NiCon. While they are now painted I didn't take that much care on them and it proves to me that I really need to concentrate more on getting skin tones sorted and the only real way to do that is put in more time on it. If I had put in more time they may have looked better but how much time to put into them versus how much time I have to get them ready for the table and they don't look terrible but I'm not super happy with them.

Johan was an easy choice, skin, leather overalls and purple hat and wrist straps to tie him into the Arcanists and he's done. Nice and simple or so I thought then I started on his skin...meh. That's was the first strike for effort against time constraints.

Next was the Gunsmiths...I wanted them to have a similar brown leather cape look and feel as Johan but also to have either a blue or greenish black leather look to their chaps more like Ironsides. I think I got it looking close but again the purple highlights to tie the faction together was to cause me problems. The lady Gunsmith was easy, I gave her a purple top and the frills of her pants and her sword sheath could all be purple...simple. The male Gunsmith was the issue. He ended up similar to Mouse and just got a purple belt but then I painted his gloves purple too just to try and make him stand out a little more.


I want to get Angelica painted next cause she looks like she will be great fun with Colette and the showgirls crew but enough chat, here's what you came for, some images...I really need to work on my pictures, they are all still a little crappy but then again they are just tabletop models so enjoy as they are..
