Finished up the horses - inspired by the Knights Panther colors. They'll be used as proxies for French Gendarmes for Italian Wars.
The blue on the barding is darker than in the photos - the lighting washed it out a bit. I used a mixture of about 50:50 with Vallejo Dark Prussian Blue and Vallejo Ultramarine Blue.The actual knights are up next. Plan on leaving off their shields to give them a more in-period look. Although I may add the shields for WHFB Empire stuff.
Horses looking really great!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Michal! Should have the knights done soon. Kind regards, Dean
DeleteGreat work Dean.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Richard. I "stole" the barding color scheme from examples on the internet. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteGood color choices. The blues are emotive of the Empire motifs. The unit should be stunning. .
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe! Yes, having a good time using some WHFB Empire stuff as references - yet, plan to use them for historicals too. Kind regards, Dean
