Commissioned by a friend to paint these up to a above average gaming standard. I wish Rackham would make their models as rigid as these and those of Games workshop, so that at least they wouldn't break/bend all of the time. I once dropped a Rackham model onto the sink while cleaning it and ended with a really bad dent. Anyhow back to these models.
They are pretty fun to paint. Not too detailed but enough to stay interesting, and parts are well defined. It took me about 6-7 hours to paint all three of them minus the cleaning and basing time. Usually I wouldn't do NNM on gaming pieces as it could well take me an hour just to get the weapon or a part of the armor to look right. For these I simply did a base coat, wash in the shadows and then added the highlights. There is one more leader which he wanted display quality. I should find time to start on that one once I'm done with my Iron Painter entry.
