Henchman painted - and exploring

I painted this henchman really fast the other night and did a simple photo-setup last night. The image came out too dark, but a quick auto-contrast sloved this one easily. Fun to paint, not perfect to technical standards, but gritty and dark. I need to do more of these fast-paced models.

Painting the model I was reminded og the strong but simple colour schemes that Mike Anderson used to do all the time. He has done some awsome models with a subtle grey/black being the main part of the palette.

      Thanks. Yeah, these moody kinds of imagery are really rewarding and really sets the scene. And with just a few scenery pieces you can achieve a lot.

    Excellent! The photo sets him off perfectly too. Very nice all round.

      Thanks man. Now I just need the rest of the crew for him to survive hanging out in Mordheim.

    The darker colour palette suits the henchman well. Good to reference some of Mikes wonderfully characterful minis from the early Millenium - some of my favourites :)

    The henchman is a great contrast to your Mordheim Imperial warband!

      Good idea - or I can just get my *ss in gear and do a quick warband myself ;)

    Wonderful metallics - how long is an "evening" I struggle to get base coats alone done in that time! Really great love the basing as well.

      Thinking back I believe I actually did two evenings - and hour each. So a total of two hours. Including a bit of web-browsing.
