[Archive] Zebra Rider

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Hi guys and girls!

Well, here’s the first Empire guy I finished painting for a friend of mine. He doesn’t know I painted his horse in Zebra stripes, so this should be a little surprise for him.

The tower in the background is one I made for a Warhammer Skirmish game called “Silence The Watchtower”.  You may remeber some posts of it from a while ago, but these are the first pics of it painted.

Enjoy the Pics!













Da Crusha:

looks pretty good Id use him as a characters

Loki:

Great work on the Zebra he looks really good, but i now have an age old question for you is he black with white stripes or white with black stripes :smiley:

Hashut’s Blessing:

He’s pink with a coat on :wink:

Excellent job. Very well done, especially for avoiding making it look like he is uniformly striped.

Any tips for replication? Not sure I will, but always good to know :wink:

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Look at reference photos. In fact, paint right in front of your computer!

Hazkar:

nice paintjob

your friend will be suprised,for sure

any special reason why you painted it like a zebra?or just for fun?

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Just fun. However, it does look better than the usual brown horse, don’t you think?

Hazkar:

it looks good,and well painted

really like the look of the “horse”

maybe you can paint a whole unit like that and a darker skin color for the rider,with some invaders of the south background

Tarrakk Blackhand:

I was thinking of it.

AGPO:

I have some of the old elven steeds left over from m now defunct wood elf chariots, so I may use those to mak some Southlands marauder horse/DoW light cavalry on Zebras

Tarrakk Blackhand:

Kool! Would it be possible to get 6 slaves for the Zebra rider? I’d like to have an even 400 before the GH contest starts. :smiley: hopefully Hashut will reward me thusly! :smiley:

AGPO:

Ah Tarrakk, :smiley: tis not for one such as I to ponder the mystery of the slaves distribution system…

Tarrakk Blackhand:

It’s easy. You just click on my name and there’s a section that says “Donate Slaves” and then you type in 6 and send.

AGPO:

Oh young one, you have no idea. You still think you donate slaves through your own free will? Hashut controls all! :hashut

Tarrakk Blackhand:

LOL! …Give 'em up already! :smiley:

Excuses are for Hobgoblins! :smiley:

Warhammerman:

Great job on the stripes. It is an overall awesome model. Your friend will be proud.
