Well, yesterday we had the first two Frostgrave Wizards painted as members of the Warhammer Empire Colleges of Magic and here are the next two.
First, a Celestial Wizard, a practitioner of the Magical Arts pertaining to the stars, the skies, the atmosphere and the weather.
I had to photograph this guy twice, the first time I noticed too many things wrong with him, but I'm reasonably happy with him now. He certainly passes the one metre rule. A couple of things I do like are his Orb, which I wanted to really stand out, so I drybrushed it in various blue shades and finally silver and his head, which, for once looks reasonable. I don't really "do" faces very well, but he manages to look both serene and determined. Once the whole figure was matt varnished, I went over the orb in gloss varnish to make it stand out. I#m also quite pleased with his simple two shade of blue robes.
The second wizard represents the Gold Order, a college of alchemy, forging and transforming metals and scientific experimentation.
Once varnished, I went over his staff and cap badge with gloss varnish. Overall, I am reasonably happy with him, apart from the blue trim on his robes. At this magnification it looks messy, and I can also see tiny blemishes that don't show up to the naked eye.
So, that is four of the Eight Colleges. I'll post the rest tomorrow and Saturday and add in a couple of pictures of all eight together.
