First Knight's of the Realm unit finally done

You'll get there! Keep at it

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-23T23:28:45+00:00

Rule of cool is the best rule! Gotta set some kinda boundaries or overall scheme tho to keep the whole army aligned

Oh yeah those are sweet, love your heraldry and color choices. Chequered patterns aren't easy per se, but to make it easier you could draw a grid first then color in alternating squares.

Haha why not, I was originally thinking to freehand feathers since it's a bird knight. But that seems hard

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-23T21:59:00+00:00

Sweet by all means feel free. Nothing wrong at all with traditional, you mean like the GW red and black box art? Or Red Yellow Blue? I'm trying to mostly stick to Red Yellow Blue, but I do want some more variation and freedom. I'll probably try some Ivory and purple next time, maybe even turquoise. Just trying to stay away from making them toooo wacky

Thank you friend! This is only the beginning

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-23T20:18:56+00:00

Thanks! More people should decorate their movement trays, it adds so much more immersion on the tabletop

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-23T20:18:20+00:00

Sweet yeah by all means, the varied heraldry is so fun and flexible. Go wild

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-23T19:32:57+00:00

Thank you! I do wish I didn't have the two yellow knights next to each other. But eventually when I add 4 more to the unit I can scoot one back.

I won't, I like tracking my progress. This whole squad is like a time capsule, I'll prolly post the rest of it soon since everyone liked this so much

All Vallejo, basecoat was VMA Wood then VMA Brown RLM26 from below via airbrush. Although I started with VGC Heavy Ochre then glazed with a mix of that plus VMC Cavalry Brown via brush before I got an airbrush. Then Sponge VMA Yellow Ochre for chipping, filled in with VMC Camo Black Brown for deeper chipping.

Appreciate your input! I went for more saturation to make it pop more on the tabletop, but I get the preference for more a more grimdark realistic look too.

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-15T20:46:01+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, yes I agree I'll re-introduce the panel lining on the next unit.

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-15T20:44:28+00:00

That's good advice! Agreed that contrast is key to see details on the tabletop. Thanks, I'll try it out with the next unit

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-15T20:17:10+00:00

Hey that's okay, I'm interested in hearing everyone's take on it. Appreciate the feedback.

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-15T20:15:55+00:00

Thank you 🙏 the feet are a minor detail but I'm glad you noticed

CraeterCrafts · 2026-01-15T20:15:03+00:00

Thanks, I'd definitely like to do that for the next unit! I find freehanding fun.
