I’m slowly catching up on the few projects I tackled during the renovations. Somewhere in the early Fall, I had a game of Relic Knights with my buddy Paul. It made me realize that I still had a bunch of models for my Shattered Sword Paladins just zenithal primed in purple and put on temporary bases. They were made them passable on the table, but it gave me the drive to finish them. Also, since I didn’t have my airbrush or any of my other primers, working on ready models was perfect.
The painting itself wasn’t difficult, but I had a hard time settling on a colour for Jeanne’s hair. I originally painted it blue, but when I decided to make the banners and ribbons blue also, it just got lost in all of it. I tried a blonde after that, like the artwork for the model, but it was too close to the NMM gold. I’m quite happy with the final magenta result though.
I got back access to my airbrush and spare bases last month, and was able to finish and varnish them all somewhere in December. I finally got space this weekend to take pictures. I don’t have my full setup yet; I have no idea where my lightbox is for example, but a couple of lamps and terrain already did a good job for the pictures.
Here are individual close ups of the models.

And to close this post, an in-combat scene, of these reinforcement facing some rebelling Doctrine students.
