Treekin (1)

Here is the first of the three Treekin I painted ealier in the year.  I think personally they look better in real life than in the photo.

This was primed black, a slightly slapdash base coat of bestial brown (left patches of black in a number of the more hard to reach recesses.  I washed it with black ink and then drybrused several layers of graveyard earth and kommando khaki over the top.  There are little patches of green lightly drybrushed on various patches of the branch, not just because I was copying GW but because it makes the wood look older.  The mossy patches I think if I recall correctly were dark angels green washed with green and black ink and then highlighted with snot green and white mix.  This is the only brown one and I think it looks the best of the three.

Glade Rider Standard Bearer

Ok here is the last Glade Rider I’ll stick up.  Obviously there are eight of them but this is a good enough sample.  This is one of the ‘kinda grey’ horses.  Probably the worst looking.  I think I need to go back and blend in the shading a little better.  They’re also got faint tide marks on the white from the layering.  Once I’m done with the FJ I might go back and fix the two grey horses up at least.  On the upside I’m quite happy with the standard which I think looks reasonable.  They’ve only been fielded once so far and Pott’s undead cav ripped through as I recall.  Was most disappointed having to take them off the field so quickly.

Glade Rider Musician

Here is the musician model.  I only painted two of these dun coloured horses and I think they turned out quite well.  Certainly better than the greys and thanks to my messing around with the whites ultimately better than them too.  Probably the best aspect of this figure is the back of the cloak with the gem stones etc which you don’t really see in this picture.
