Latest figures finished and not some 70’s progressive rock band.
I really must sort out a way to take better photographs. Once the shed is redone I will have a painting area with a light box and better lighting.
I have got the kids painting today.
Civilian Update
I have made a start on these two. I have a bit of a conundrum with the froggy. It is basically down to the colour of his skin. On the website he is a blue colour. I am not so sure about blue, but if not, then what? He is meant to be mega rich, so his clothes are vivid colours with gold brocade ( base colour on ready for dry brushing with shining gold then top highlight with burnished gold). The dwarf is still in a base colour stage. I will get him further tomorrow.
A Couple More Civilians.
Next up Baron Petrochemicoli and a dwarf in a travelling cloak.
Hussars finished
That is the Hussars all finished apart from the basing.
Hussar horses finished
Got these finished.
Orc Hussars update II
These chappies are taking forever. They, as you might imagine being Hussars, are quite intricate. I am also trying to get lots of shades etc in the different colours, I still think I am being too subtle on some of the colours. Once upon a time I would have just painted base colours then thrown a wash on. I am really liking how they look. The horses are all but done, just hooves and markings to finish.

I have made a start on my Orc Hussars. The horses were cleaned up and based around 9 months ago. There are some seriously complicated uniforms here. We shall see how I get on.
Ostarian General.
A lovely little chap to command my Ostarian forces.
To be honest I have decided I don’t like painting white uniforms. They either look messy/bitty or flat white. Something I will have to work on.
Cheap Undercoat Paint
I had to pop into the car place and decided to give this stuff a blast. £6.00 is a lot cheaper than the £11.00 for the GW one. I stuck it in warm water and gave it a bloody good shake. I am happy with the coverage. We will see how it takes paint once dry.
Update 19.00 hrs
I tried to rub off the paint on the flanks of the horse and it wouldn’t budge.
Update….
I have done a base coat on these and the undercoat has worked fine, takes the different colours from the different paint manufacturers without a problem. The one thing I would say is that the undercoat is a little grainy, but at this scale I can’t see a problem.

HEVC finished
Sergeant Futty Nutkins and the stalwart chaps of the Honourable East Valonian Company are almost ready to set forth.
