Heresy Hellmites

80 Skaven clan rats have been painted up, only awaiting the dozens of fellow to make up the rest of the army...  To take a break I did a quick paint job on Heresy's Hellmites:



Nothing fancy, just a three color dry bush to get them up and off the table.  Lovely little sculpts, but I think I mismatched some of the backs to bodies.

Colors:

Body: Base GW Chardonite Granite, Wash Black, Highlight Graveyard earth
Beaks: Base Tausept Ochre, Wash Black, Highlight Graveyard Earth
Sack: Base VMC Hull Red, Wash GW Badab Black, Highlight Dark Flesh, Highlight Blood Red, Wash Ogryn Flesh
Base: Mushroom, Wash Raw Umber, Drybrush Mushroom, Drybrush Butter Pecan, Drybrush Vintage White.  Army Painter 4mm/6mm grass tufts.

15mm Norman Javelins

The sculpts are by Khurasan.  They aren't bad, but the faces were a little rough.  Definitely below the quality you'd expect from the rest of the Dark Age line that I've seen from them. Also, I think I'll go open hand cast on them from now on.  Not a ding on Khurasan as I knew going in what I was getting, but compared to the nice straight spears on my knights, these look like my front line is throwing wet spaghetti. Little unhappy with the paint job, but its not bad for table top quality. 15mm Dark Age Javelin Elements
