No games this month - too busy travelling with work, but I did get some painting in between trips on some 40k projects.
First up is Bayard's Revenge, a special Emperor's Champion figure that Reilly kindly gave me for Christmas, depicting a scene from the Black Templar novel "Helsreach". I played with this over a week and really enjoyed this project.
I tied a few NMM approaches with the sword, and ended up going with it being true to its name "The Black Sword"... I did enjoy lavishing attention on the armour to make it look beaten up and scarred without compromised.
And here's how I imagine the last stand of Brother Bayard is depicted in the Halls of Heroes aboard the Battlebarge Eternal Crusader (filters from the 'Snapseed' app)
I also did a Death Guard Kill team, using the lighter colours of the Weeping Legion so that the darker filth and yuck would contrast against it. I used oil washes to darken down the basecoats and overall it worked out well.
I added rusty things from the bitz box to help the basing come to life amongst the puddles of Nurgle's Rot.
Thats all for now - happy hobbying!
Very nice work- I like how well your bases match the boards.
