Marauder Horsemen #2 Finished!

I've finally finished #2 of the 5! I'm having fun messing with the colors so far on these guys, but it's slowed my progress on them a bit.

Skin tone is Cork Brown (Vallejo) washed with 2x Dark Flesh Wash (awesomepaintjob.com) brought back to Cork Brown and highlighted with 60/40 or so Cork Brown/Bleached bone. A few spots were washed back once and blended in a bit more with successive highlights (using a bit less bleached bone).

Likely start on the next guy soon! A bit less color play this time should mean he moves a bit faster. Only play should end up being the skin tones.

More to come!

Marauder Horsemen

OHHHHHHKAAAYYYY....

It's been FOREVER since I worked on these guys, but I'm REALLY digging on the army and the game so, here we go again.

BUT, I'm at a stalemate. I want to paint my Marauder Horsemen to get them out of the way and on the table top, but I'm really having 'direction' issues with them. I worked on the one marauder a long ass time ago at work, didn't like how he was coming out, and haven't touched the army since! And since they're a helpful testbed for the characters, I want to work on them before hitting my big mammajamma Khorne Lord on Juggy ^_^.

Here are some quick shots of where I'm at:



As you can see, I'm really at an impasse. I just don't know what to do with the model to make it more interesting 'fun'. The skin tone is rather dark, but I wanted him to be tanned, I'll do different skin tones throughout the army, I hate doing the same skin color all the time on every person, it's just not true to life!! The colors are almost directly from the Khorne Knights, and I think that's the issue. Where they were able to rely on the use of metallics to make them interesting and fun, these guys only have a few metallic bits and pieces.

So HELP!!
