I picked up this little guy on ebay. I was looking for a champion for my unit of goblins. I had no idea how this guy would scale up against my goblins but was happy to see that it fits in just fine.
It was however, a pain in the ass to strip. Took about a week of soaking in pine-sol. Then lots and lots of careful scraping. The paint in places was just globbed on, completely obscuring the detail. At one point, I thought I had pulled off some of the plastic, only to discover that there was a lot of detail under there.
There were some faults in the casting. I had to re-sculpt the back of the weapon hand. I also sculpted some straps for the shield.
I looked at a lot of Mage Knight figs as possible alts for my O&G. Some are good, some are bad. A lot of the figs seem to be comically out of proportion. Some have almost no detail at all. They might be useful as bits to cut and choose from.
Skin Tone: Catachan green blended up to Bleached bone.Clothing: Main color is Snakebite leather. As usual, everything is blended up with Bleached bone. Also experimented with adding some chipped paint effects.
Whole model was given a generous wash of Devlan mud - Badab black mixed 2
to 1. Had to go in and touch up a few areas after. Think I might have
put it on a bit too thick in some places.
