Tribe of the bear WIP part 1

Today I sat down and did a little preliminary work on a commission from my friend Teddy. I've dubbed this band of merry men the tribe of the bear. I'm not sure about it's origins but these are 29 of a 30 man set.

Each model is very unique and in order to unify them Teddy picked up some bear claw shields. I plan on painting them in mainly browns, silver, red, and a purple semi pale skin tone to further the unification. 

To start I laid down some bleached bone.

Next I layered some graveyard earth and scorched brown down. Tomorrow I'll be giving them a big push toward the finish line.

Here they are so far. Look at this motley crew!
