I have tried at least in my head to use a colour palate close to how I would imagine ancient Egyptians might use, but deliberately staying away from actually looking at the colours they did actually use. That is the kind of crazy mixed up way I think as I did not want to make exact copies of ancient Egypt. I used ancient Egypt as the codex has lots of ancient Egyptian names often ending in KH. Which while they may not be authentic names does give them a hint towards ancient Egypt. I have not named my "Dynasty" so far but I am sure I will before the first game.
Tomorrow I will be one of the very few of the Rainham wargames club (3 of us I think) putting on a game at the Broadside show. All the terrain and figures and rules and knowledge this year is down to Tim so I can take no credit for any of it. But if you want to come and say hallo you will be more than welcome, BUT I must warn you that this time I am not bringing any home made fudge. NONE at all.
While at the show I do have a VERY small shopping list:
- 1 pack of Redoubt figures for the French Indian wars
- 2 Pots of paint, (I always NEED paint)
- Maybe a platoon or a squad of 20mm WW2 Japanese for "Chain of Command"
Thanks for looking today, maybe a swag post tomorrow night or on Monday IF I buy anything exciting. If not I hope to do a show report early next week.
Thanks for looking today, all the best to you and yours from Clint.
Wonderful painting Clint, and this has been a series of lovely posts. I'm a huge Necron fan. But haven't bought any since GW wheeled out "Failcast" :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Simon. I know what you mean as a gent of a certain age I recall before there was any 40k at all. So like you I am not embracing the changes to the figures or my wallet.
DeleteLook forward to seeing you at Broadside mate...even if you are coming sans fudge!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee. I might be in a foul mood as well. Just warning you.
DeleteHe's splendidly colourful, have a great time at Broadside.
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. Not too much of a shopping trip this time. Which is a shame, but I am sure I will survive.
DeleteLovely job Clint, even if it`s evil GW merch!
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob. I hate to think how much this wold cost now a days.
