I did a speedy paint job tonight.
This hobgoblin miser was sitting there undercoated. I fancied painting something and half an hour later he is pretty much finished. Not my best painting ever, but another figure down in the lead pile.
I doubt I will get my aristo finished tomorrow night as I am off doing internet safety in one of the schools.
I have still to decide on the colours to use.
I am calling these done:
The bases need sorting and the figures varnishing.
I managed to procure a pile of dogs for a really good price online.
The cavalry came with both lances and swords. As there are seven of them I will go for a unit of six. Five armed with lances and an officer with a sword. The seventh will become an aide de camp for the doggy forces.
These were really well packed. The painted ones wrapped in bubble wrap and then placed in the packing material.
The unpainted ones were wrapped in paper and again set within the packing chips.
Not a bad haul for £19.50. Top eBay seller.
The painting on these is fine, the question is whether or not to paint up my gun crew with the same uniform colours…
Managed to do a teeny bit on these…
Wash added, strapping painted. Highlights added to the shako and trousers and that’s about it for this evening.
I didn’t get in until gone 8 so by time I had tea, talked to my family that was all I had time for.
To be honest I really like these figures, one day I may even have a game with the stuff I have painted😱.
Sadly didn’t get them finished.
Managed to get this far though…
Weapons and straps still to paint, shading and highlights on flesh and headgear and then the tidying up of the bit I missed or indeed missed.
I think they are coming together as a unit.
Yesterday I painted up a couple of carrot piles.
I also managed to get these taken from here:
To here:
Still a fair way to go, but hopefully I can get them finished tonight. I wouldn’t have normally painted the epaulettes on the greatcoat red, but I wanted him to match in more with the rest.
These are really nice figures, there is only this advancing pose in this range. But it works well. Four are armed with hand cannons and the other two with double muskets. They have a mixture of packs and pouches. All have a water skin apart from the one with the axe attached to his pack
Two have pom-poms on their shako. Whilst one is in his bonnet de police.
I think they make rather a nice unit. Very hard hitting in game terms.
I have worked on this chap for the last few days.
He has come a long way from the bare resin.
He is a lovely figure. Full of character. He is armed with a hand cannon and trust telescope. He is made from resin so super lightweight. I spent a lot longer on this one than I have with a lot of the other ones.
However there are still the odd problems that the camera sees and I don’t 🤪🤪🤪
He is to be an officer for my unit of ogres. I think I will make a start on them next.
I have also snagged a bargain on EBay a unit of 7 Ostarian cavalry and a gun and crew. The gun is painted whereas the cavalry are not.
Managed to get these all finished:
Well when I say finished … the crests need a brighter highlight.
Mine are the lighter coats, my mates are the darker.
Not sure what to paint next…
Probably these:
They are undercoated and ready to go.
I had another bash at these tonight.
They are pretty much finished apart from the metalwork on the muskets and a bit of toning down on the grey highlights on the black hats. It didn’t darken down a# much as I expected when it dried.
I also managed to get a bit more done on my Zombies.
They still have a bit to go but I am getting there.
I did some painting, not that you can tell…
Wash put on the Ferach troops. This will need to dry properly before I get the highlights done. I also got their hats done.
A wash was put on the zombie cuirasses.
I will get some more done tomorrow night.
Started on these four tonight.
Half an hour’s work to get to here.
This is a base colour for the clothing and skin, onto washes and highlights later on when the paint dries. Although a rag tag bunch each has the blue and the green colour to help tie them in together.
Hats will be black and no doubt red will appear somewhere too.
The three at the back are mine in the queue.
The Ferach are to add to the Savant Zombies I finished the other day.
