Description
Descending from the Queen's Prayer Highlands with sword and shield in hand, this man-at-arms is among the first line of defense against the encroaching Empire of Ostermar.A mini I painted for my group's Dungeons and Dragons campaign. I decided to use this as an opportunity to give highlighting a try.
As always, any feedback is welcome!

Yo I know I'm not the best painter overall, but I do know a bit about working with bent plastic. That bent sword for instance, if you put the mini in water that you've boiled and cooled down to just below boiling, you have a few seconds to bend that plastic and loosen up the molecular structure of the plastic so it won't just revert, and then you shock it with an ice bath to set the plastic in place. It usually takes a few tries but I've had solid luck fixing Reaper miniatures with this method in the past. The downside is that you gotta do it before you paint them, so this lad has a bent sword forever. Unless of course it's just a camera messing with proportions as they are occasionally want to do. Anyway, great paintjob man!

Thanks for the feedback! This is one of those Dungeons and Dragons minis that comes pre-primed and I was hesitant to use the water method because I wasn't sure if it would ruin the primer or not.

I'll look up whether or not that's true later because in retrospect that sword really was bothering me haha

I mean if water boiling doesn't screw paint up, let me know. I've got some old ones that I'm pretty proud of that I'd love the chance to fix. Even though the paintjob to my current standards is trash.
