An impressive pile of shields, swords, hammers and axes.

Miniature Review

Where can you go wrong with a huge pile of swords and shields? It's a cool idea with a decent mix of axes, swords, daggers, spears and hammers. Some are fairly plain, some have gems and others are adorned with runes.

The shields are a nice touch, as they allow for some big blocks of colour to break up the metals.

Roundup

The more I painted the more weapons I kept seeming to find. I tried to switch up the brightness of the steel on every few weapons to create some variety, as well as using a few different colours for the shields. I then brought it altogether with an Agrax Earthshade wash, then after a good highlight adding a few more dots of colour on the gems to break it up further.

Overall there's still a lot of silver and red, but I think there's enough to make it interesting when looking around the circle of weapons.
