Hey, everyone.

I finished painting this one last night. Let me know what you think. I've been experimenting with freehand a bit more, as I'm sure you can tell.

Very nice painting, I like the Eagle on the top. Good work and good freehand

I like the way you have painted this. It looks exceptionally clean and the red looks quite nice.

Keep up the work on the free hand! Looks awesome.

I like your decals, are those stickers or have you painted them?
I also like the black and red contrast.

Thanks for the kind words.

The eagle on the top hatch and the large =I= on the right hatch are freehand. The other insignia are decals.

Good thing it's High Gothic rather than latin, then. :lol:

Here are a couple of Knights of the Realm for my newly-begun Bretonnian army.

Man, those are freakin' sweet.

Only, I couldn't help but laugh when I saw the first one, seeing as it's done in your Daemonhunters colours.

Nice looking beasties you have there. I love teh DH scheme on the first one, doing the red on the tank really must have paid off. They look fabulous.

You have inspired me to start the 5 or so knights of Bretonnia laying about my desk.

Keep up the great work,

They all look great mate, one thing I would say is that when you use decals apply gloss varnish to the surface you are going to place them on first then when dry apply the decal, do whatever painting highlighting of the decal (if you are going to do that) and then when finished apply matt varnish over the top.
What this will do is it will completely hide the giveaway trace of the decal paper that shows through otherwise. I only say this because you can clearly see the parts of your Rhino that have had decals applied. If you do this then that won't be a problem anymore.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

@Tidoco: Oddly enough, I'd been given that advice before so that is what I attempted to do here. I applied a coat of brush-on gloss varnish to the areas where I was going to put the decals. Then I placed the decals and then the entire model got a spray of gloss varnish and then matte varnish (These are gaming models, so I want them to be able to take a beating). Despite my efforts you can clearly see the areas where I put down the brush-on varnish. Perhaps next time, I'll just wait and apply the decals after the entire model gets its spray-on varnish.

Wow love the free hand on those knights! Flawless work, Brilliant! :shock:

Would I be right to say the high gothic or latin on the front reads "Victory Or Death"?

I love the tank and the Brettons. AMAZING paint jobs all over
