Greetings…
At last the first unit of Rus is finished for this project… And the first unit since my eye operations.
It feels really good to get back to painting and seeing a unit ready for battle…
I have kept the colour scheme fairly simple for these as I didn’t want to put too much stress on the new peepers… I may add a bit more decoration on the next batch.
The Tunics are… Citadel… Pallid Wytch Flesh. White Shirts and Tunics seem to be popular with the Rus so it was an easy choice.
The Trousers are… AK Interactive… AK11094 Bordeaux.
The Armour and Metal bits are… AK Interactive… AK11210 Natural Steel.
The Leather Goods and such are a mixture of different suitable Browns and Tans.
Everything was given a wash of Aly’s Brown Liquid and then re-highlighted with the original shade.
The figures are from Victrix…

Probably something completely different next time… My Butterfly has free reign at the moment.
All the best. Aly
Nice work Aly. Perhaps for the next lot some mood music?

Svyatoslav is a favourite of mine - that's who I guess the leader is based on? Are the eyes fully back on line or are they still getting better?
ReplyDeleteYes I think the sculptor based that head on the Osprey Publication illustration…
DeleteI still have a couple more weeks on eye drops but things are doing really well…
All the best. Aly
Excellent looking bearded ax weilding psychopaths!
