Thank you so much for the kind words everybody. I'll try to get another update tonight. I'm managing to resist moving on to the flower knight so far!

Only a very small amount of progress tonight (although I did hang my new display cabinet on the wall).
Think I need to highlight the gold more. Probably to white then a glaze or two.

Taken a short break from the king's hand to start on bases, as I have a good amount of minis with nothing to stand on!

I'm sculpting them myself, rather than buying any. Starting off with a few basics and going from there. Here's my first.



Not quite finished yet but nearly there. The oven is on!

Base is done. I think this should be for the Nurgle Lord with some drippy gore falling either from his gut or his axe.

Anybody know a good place to get wooden display stands from?

The kings hand is looking great! Can't wait to see him all finished. The base is also looking very nice.

You might want to try asking over on PlanetFigure.com, I seem to recall there being a couple guys who made nice bases in the UK but, since I'm too far away, I don't remember who they are. Someone there should be able to point you in the right direction. I also know Andrea miniatures makes some decent wood display bases. You could probably order those through a UK miniature distributor. I've gotten a couple but, to be honest, they are just okay. If you can find a guy who makes his own display stands/bases you can usually get something much nicer for about the same price as the Andrea ones.

Cheers all.

I've moved on with the gold now. I also went back and added some brighter highlights to the areas I did before. Needs neatening and glazing but already looking better (I think).

I'm thinking a blue to teal inner cloak. What do you think?

looking really nice. I wonder if blue or teal would blend too much into the pants and vest.

You might be right. Maybe I should go from teal to green. It could end up looking a bit Disney but it might work. Ill give it a try.
Cheers!

Well, as I near the end of the King's Hand I have a decision to make. I have cleaned up the Flower Knight ready to paint but today I got a nice package from Studio McVey.
Which do I do next? They are both gorgeous in their own right and I can't decide.

Well yes. I will do both eventually. But which first?

I need to decide now as I have finished the King's Hand. Pretty pleased although the NMM isn't great but for my first attempt it's ok. The flower knight will be getting the TMM treatment. I'm much more comfortable with that.

For Broga I think I might borrow Mike's red armour. Perhaps a bit deeper though. Hmm, too many choices. I have a stegadon to do too, plus my mentor legion to convert and paint.
Then there's the 90mm marine.......

Anyway, here's the King's Hand. Another finished model that needs a base. I'm going to try to make a few this weekend and base up the current batch I have waiting.

It's so hard to decide! I think I will undercoat them all and then see which one calls to me. I have some ideas of how to paint the skin tones though, so may opt for her first. Who knows? I'll post an update tonight and then you will see.

flower knight! the only kd mini i really really dig!
very nice jo on the king's hand btw, great colors :good:

Totally agree. The flower knight has always appealed to me and is the only KD mini to do so.

Woo! This is my 100th post :) Hope you feel special rob :dance:

I do indeed!

Funny, how everybody likes the flower knight, even if they don't care all that much for the rest of the range.
