This chap has been packed away undercoated for about 4 years. I am really pleased with the gritty look courtesy of a wash that I made using Forgeworld pigments. It's a real shame that they have stopped selling them! I have another 6 figures assembled and undercoated, and another 4 still on the sprue to finish a new Guards Squad, that this chap will form the centrepiece for.

looks like he’s taking a dump. I love the way you managed to capture the straining facial expression.
