Super Dungeon Explore Fig.4: Royal Paladin

Completion of the Royal Paladin brings the number of Super Dungeon Explore miniatures I have painted to four which means I am close to the half way point as there are nine heroes in this board game. The Paladin was painted close to its original colour scheme with the exception of his sword.

Sword is a mix between pure non-metallic metal (NMM) and a blade containing mystical energy swirling inside it

In order to spice up the Royal Paladin's sword, I decided to make the hilt red in addition to painting a teal gem and a light blue blade that is supposed to contain swirling mystical energy. Apart from the sword, there was one additional minor difference to the original artwork namely a lack of gold trimmings on the blue cloak. I felt it best to keep things simple where the cloak was concerned.   

White plating on the shield had a subtle colour transition from white to bluish-white

Light blonde hair went well with the blue cloak

For the Super Dungeon Explore Royal Paladin's skin tone, there was only one way to go and that was a skin type associated with inhabitants from the Nordic countries. In fact, the Paladin could have just as easily passed for a Swedish warrior based on his predominantly blue and gold/yellow colours.

Royal Paladin's blue cloak was kept in simple shades of blue sans any freehand designs

No heroic group seems to be complete without the 'honour is everything' blonde-haired warrior

I leave you with a group shot of the Super Dungeon Explore board game pieces I have painted to date. They seem to be a very colourful bunch when placed next to each other, wouldn't you agree? 

And then there were four ... heroes from the Super Dungeon Explore board game
