Well a week later than the Otters I have finished (apart from a bit of basing) The 1st milstone . The Red , Blue/White and Black Knights (the Boss) are now virtually complete.

Red Knight

White & Blue Knight

Banners are made from my favourite source, the foil of wine bottles.

With the Boss, I wanted a much darker look to his armour , so did a dark steel base and then tried GW contrast Black Templar over the top

D…..Drr! (add sound effect from family fortunes)

looked to give metallic look but dried pretty mush standard black. Lived with it and virtually finished figure , then last night started on the Imperial officer , did same base colour on armour and then went for GW Basilcum Grey which is a very dark gray but less pigmented, and got the effect I wanted, so there was a quick repaint of all the plate armoured bits on Horse and Knight and voila the contrast I wanted between his black livery and Armour.
