Remember the 90s? Bright clean colours. No online painting guides. Learning by doing and by visiting a friends house. This champion was painted for my High Elves army back in early 1996. I also painted 5 reaver knights, 20 spearmen and 16 archers. And two repeater boltthrowers obviously. I don't really remember painting this one, but I clearly remember painted the plastic spearmen and archers in batches of about 4 or so models. I cannot believe that I managed to get every single colour available onto this mini. So many details on this classic sculpt. And "yes" ... my red was very orange in those days...
Very clean, neat and strong technique you had back then. It sure echoes the 90's.
ReplyDeleteGosh Jakob nothing of mine from the nineties would be allowed to be in the same cabinet as that. That's a really lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteAh yeah, classic stuff.
ReplyDeleteI still have a batch of those guys stowed away... I'm tempted to paint them - and getting one of each available colour on there. ;-D
So many memories...I had the approach back then that every single item in the mini needed a different color. I was thinking of doing a post with some of them in the future.
