Spent yesterday getting idrians and deliverers together ready for the Faithful Masses theme. Everything is under coated and about 75% base coated now. Aside from browns, what colours do people use for idrians? For mine, as you said, the obvious of course is brown for the leather armor, but I still wanted some colors to tie them to my protectorate purple/white scheme, so I did them this way Now that Failthful masses is coming out, I will have to finish my Zealots. This is the basic scheme I am using for them

I really like the idea of giving them a paint scheme that makes them feel not part of the military but still tied to the paint scheme bof the army as a whole. I was thinking of doing the something similar with sanguine to tie it together. Heck I've been thinking about doing something like that with other models like paladins or the occasional character model.
Btw very nice paint job.

So I very recently picked up a fantastic deal on Reznik2, 2 units of flame bringers, 2 units of Exemplar vengers, Thyra, and blood of martyrs.
Really looking forward to assembling the big man and the cavalry. I checked last night, the vengers come in 10(!) Pieces each. Getting the moneys worth on assembly!

Definition of calvary
plural calvaries 1 :an open-air representation of the crucifixion of Jesus 2 :an experience of usually intense mental suffering
Definition of cavalry
plural cavalries 1 a :an army component mounted on horseback b :an army component moving in motor vehicles or helicopters and assigned to combat missions that require great mobility
The placement of that L matters ... just saying. Calv isn't a thing.

[rant] Flamebringers and Vengers have metal riders/details, and resin horses. I hate when they do the mixed metal/resin stuff that way. My vengers legs have "sagged" over time with the weight of the guys on them, especially in any heat (and I'm not just talking leaving in a hot car in the summer). Just do all plastic or all metal. [/rant] back to the nonsense stuff... I love protectorate cavalry.

the saggy/bendy/damaged legs might not be as much of a problem if PP didn't insist on posing every horse with only 2 hooves on the ground.
Still, nothing I've seen in all of minigaming is quite as bad as harbinger's flag.

I've used so much modeling putty to try and close all the gaps in the horses alone, that I'm not sure who's better off out of the two of us.

I even tried replacing the dumb rectangular flag with a rod when it first broke, but messed up the hand when doing it so she basically is floating there handless and flagless for the last year

In fact I think they are actually the exact same as the metal ones, just cast in resin. in fact, all of there horses seem to be that way regardless of resin or metal. Kreoss 3 had some bad gaps where the head met the body. Same with Gravus
