a quick gibbet

saw this on the Black Tree Design site when I was browsing and thought it would give a nice touch of dark, old English atmosphere... tried something new with the bushes, used the cleaning pads I had for the hedges for the body, painted brown and then added some leaf litter from Antenociti (usually used for ivy I think, bought it ages ago)... looks quite good and brambly...

pics don't really do it justice...

Witch Hunter

painted my converted Witch Hunter for my vaguely planned ECW Horror skirmish project... Witchfinder General meets Blood on Satans Claw meets Solomon Kane... details on the conversion are in the earlier post... quite happy with the blacks, tried for slightly different shades, boots have a hint of light brown from the black for a worn leather look, and the rest of the leatherwork is a very dark brown... I had planned black hair as well, but it needed a lighter colour to bring it all out a bit more... the angry shouty head has a nice crease in his brow, but now I look at it, it's all gone a bit Cromwell warty - which all things considered isn't a bad thing...

I didn't shade the white collar, just slapped on the brightest white I had just so it stood out more, the other bits of white have been shaded though...
