Maybe resculpt the cloak on the rightmost soldier? It is just hanging right now while the hero's is flying in the wind along with the banner.

I love the subtle life lessons in here. "I learned from my mistakes, grew, and won't make those mistakes again. Instead, I'll make all new ones!" Perfect summation of life.

[Artzman]

Man this thing is going to be sick! Can’t wait to see it painted.

[takethetacov]

The fact that the blurred silhouette in the thumbnail looks visually interesting is a good sign for the finished product.

i literally started the 'hobby' this weekend and am amused at being at the fartest reaches of the skill spectrum from this but your videos have been instrumental in recent weeks in helping me get set up and prepared to paint! Thank so much and I cant wait to see how this turns out.

2:15 I tend to have a lot of tabs open in my browser, but this is next level John!

[metagrossle]

I know nothing about composition, but this year's diorama is already much more exciting!

[Wijkert]

13:42 100% will. These are my favorite video John!

[DrVitoti]

It looks really good! I also wonder how it would look if the guys on foot were looking up at the mounted leader, and he was looking down, somber after a costly defense of the castle/city. The hope of the soldiers as they look up to their leader contrasting with the melancholy of the leader that knows they have lost too much and may not recover in time for the next attack.

Great job as always. Just as an idea for you, maybe you should add some battle damage to miniatures, like damaged weapons and armore, bandaged body parts and severed limbs, to really sell the look that they have just come out from hard battle. And maybe a couple of corpses here and there, provided you have free space left.)

I use DAS for my Emperor's Children bases. But I mix it with PVA glue to make it less brittle when it dries. Then use textured rollers over them.

DAS clay is an essential part of my terrain/basing. Probably not the best for bricks though, but SUPER good for smoothing out the transition between vertical layers, creating hills/lumps/etc. Really recommend.

[rhag]

I'm looking forward to seeing several more videos on this project!
Before you go to painting, I think you should convert some wind generated motion into all of the minis. The cloak on the right guy certainly but also the others. Just some strings/ bandages could sell the effect for the cloakless minis.
What could also be cool is adding that effect into the eventual trees/bushes you'll add.

[SvartElric]

Where I'm from every kid used to play with DAS clay in elementary school, once you get to know the material you can do some very small and precise details.

[Xero]

Just saw the Golden Demon update. Congrats on taking home an award. Looked like the competition was steep.

[kaneworsnop]

I'd add a few different grades of grit sparingly over the brown textured areas to sell the recently collapse look, as the fine texture would suggest less rubble and its just sunk into the ground over time, rather than a pule of rubble of the remains of a keep.

[isisnmagic]

I came back to this video after watching the podcast and its great to see you made changes.

[NatalieFWinters]

Love the composition on this one. Looking forward to seeing it painted!
