Nicodemus.
Painted by Richard Turton

 Nicodemus from Citadel Mordheim range. Nice 'n bright not to be confused with Gandalf. This work represents about 35 hours of work.All the base, books and scrolls, lectern etc was scratch built from plasticard milliput and greenstuff. The goldwork on the books and the little sand box is NMM. It was a pain painting the writing on the spines of the books in about 6 shades of yellow but once I had started I had to go on. The writing is about as small as I can paint with a brush and still be legible. The book with the dragon painted on is about 1 cm. I managed to get about 72 scales on the dragon. The quill is the feather from a warhammer pistoliers helmet and the little sandbox came with the Brettonian army boxed set. The most painstaking part of the mini was the border round the hem of the robe. The deep folds in the robe made the NMM difficult. If I have to do a similar robe again I'll stick with a plain band for decoration!
This piece sold from our websites for sale section for £100 .

He Wenta Dat Way.
Painted by Richard Turton.

Nicely wetblended with vallejo and citadel acrylics. This is a conversion of an Alternative Armies figure..Celtic God. The original carried a harp which has been cut away and replaced with a worried looking goblin. This model features a very elaborate and attractive base. Somewhere among the foliage there are a rabbit and a snail! This mini is for sale.

Golden Wizard.
Painted by Richard Turton

This model was painted as a non gaming piece and is fixed to the ornamental base. Many details are not easily seen such as the 60 or so gems on the wizard and the freehand design on his cloak. The hardest detail to paint was black lining the teeth on the dragons to get them to show up against the yellow.

Bretonnian Grail Reliquae.
Painted By Isaac Turton.

This was an enjoyable piece to paint, as I love the concept. The sculpt of the Reliquae is really well designed and one on my favourite Warhammer miniatures. From a distance it could pass off as a man on a horse.

            I was asked to paint it in British crusading colours, I feel this really suits the Britonnian miniatures and has a nice effect. I tried to get a rugged battle weathered look to all the miniatures adding mud and bloodstains to them all. It was hard to get the white colours to look right so it took a lot of wet blending and layering to get the right effect.

             I particularly like the way the freehand of the 2 red lions turned out on the left side. I got the symbols from an old ladybird book about coats of arms. All the metallics are shaded using a mixture of citadel and Vallejo metallic paints. I got a nice dark affect on the reds by starting with Citadels dark flesh and blending Vallejo blood red into it.

          The overall finished Bretonnian Grail Reliquae along with the six Battle Pilgrims makes an attractive unit on the table.
