Counting Crows

Folloqung the scarecrows, here's some crows to scare...or perhaps not, as they're led by the Crow King.

The Crow King is a mysterious, ragged adviser to Lady Winterly, who can summon the crows to do his bidding and is the one who constructs the Corn Dolls and Mast Beasts that protect the village.

He also looks a bit like Slash from Guns N Roses.

Obviously, there's no a lot to go on colour wise and so it's not the most exciting paint job, although I am fairly pleased that the dry brushing picked up details well.

I'm less pleased with the crows, as I've struggled to get the detail right on them, so they've ended up a bit scruffy looking.

I am, however, pleased with the arrangement on the bases. Some people have gone for one crow per base, but as the profile is for a Murder of Crows, I definitely wanted more than one per base.

I tried to get a mix of flying and grounded crows, and variety the heights their flying at. The pumpkin was a touch I added to balance out only having two crows on the base. I don't have a proper orange paint at the moment, and my attempt at mixing ended up a bit drab, so I may highlight it when I'm able to get some orange paint from the shops.

When it comes to the tally, I counted the crows as eight when they came in, so I'm counting them as eight going out, with the Crow King making it nine painted today.
