So I got my Games and Gears kickstarter brushes in today.  I believe they are Kolinsky sable double headed brushes (you can brush with either end, I guess it’s for wet blending?)  They look nice, they are longer than the brushes I’m used to using.  I’ll post up some pics and initial thoughts in the near future.  Also, if anybody else has a serious interest in them (or providing a better review because they know what they are talking about) I can bring some up to the GT for you to play with.

Okay, so seriously, I think the photos of these look better than the actual models in person.   Obviously, we can’t let Jon’s awesome WIP scratch built waystones stay at the top of the main page for more than an hour!  So, here’s my first 5 warriors done to what I’m hoping for the base standard for the new army.  I’ll touch them up later.  This hasn’t been varnished yet, we’ll see how it looks after that.

Here’s my WIP first five warriors.  I’ve started a blog in the forum painting section.  I’ll be posting the majority of my pics there but I’ll be putting some highlights on the front page.  I’m really happy with how these are coming along.  I think I’m going to go with shields, just debating the colors.  Maybe the black of the leather/fur with gold on the symbols on the shields?  Gotta paint a test!  I may not push beyond this level of detail much just to get the army on the table and then go back and touch up the horns/bone and cloaks.
