Few days ago, I have finished painting second model in the first unit of Varanguard. This one, in my opinion, is the hardest to paint from the unit, because all of the cracks on the horse barding and the shield. Depending on the colour scheme you use, those details could take a lot of time. I went with the more difficult option of trying to create flame/lava effect inside the cracks - however, I was not happy with the first few attempts, and had to start over each time. This frustrated me a bit, because my painting time is limited and I want to move with reasonable speed - but in the same time, I can't simply leave the miniature with the paintjob I am not satisfied with (and by satisfied, I mean "good enough", not perfect). However, I managed to finish the miniature and I am happy with the result.
I started painting the tihrd (and last) miniature of the first unit and I think that paintjob should be a lot easier. When The whole unit is finished, I will post a short tutorial that could hepl you if you want to recreate this colour scheme.
