These are pretty much finished…

I am pleased that I have pretty much matched in the prepainted ones and these new ones.

The bronze is a bit off but in a unit, it won’t really show up that much. I am a bit miffed about it as it was almost a perfect match. My wash was obviously a different shade than theirs.

The command section is also complete

I am quite pleased with how they have come out.

I eventually managed to make a flag to fit the pole.

I also managed to get a fair bit done on my Zombies…

I am not one for green zombies, so I thought I would mess around with a bluish tinge to the skin. This still needs work, but I am pleased with the initial results.

The final thing I managed to do tonight was to finish Mr Pig!

Tomorrow I will crack on with the Witchlands Ferach as I have to get these done for my mates birthday present.

It really hasn’t helped that my mother in law fell and broke her hip. Everything is up in the air. Her operation was cancelled today and the pain killers make her throw up. To make matters worse She hasn’t eaten since Monday.

I managed to purchase some bronze paint

Except GW now call Dwarf Bronze Hashut Copper! What the heck?

Anyway enough moaning… I think I am getting the new ones matched into the old.

Still a ways to go but I am getting there.

I did some more flags today, guess what…still too big! The problems of designing them without measuring the flag pole.

Luckily my mate quite likes this one… a lot easier to cut down.

Waiting on an answer as to the colour he wants it painting.

I am letting the metallics dry overnight before adding a sepia wash.

I managed to do a test flag at work today for the Savant Zombies.

However, the flag pole is rather short, this is something I have noticed on some of my other models too.

When I painted up the ghouls I extended their flag pole to take the flag.

I had done a smaller flag as I wasn’t sure of the required dimensions. As can be seen here this is about as big as you can go to fit the pole.

I will redo this flag either as a pennant or a rectangular guidon.

I have gone off Piste with these.

My whole army is red and green, so we have red and green… and blue. The chap behind the Officer is my newly promoted sergeant. Hence the red and white piping on the cuffs.

He became the sergeant after his predecessor had an argument with a 9lb round shot it would seem.

Still a long way to go, but getting there.

Highlights on greatcoats and breeches. Not that you can tell from the photo.

The officer has been given a silvered cuirass whilst the rest are not as swanky.

Still a long way to go before they are done. I am wondering whether to head away from the red cuffs as shown on the website to something else instead. A bit of research is required methinks.

Very little achieved last night as I was sorting out my shed.

I managed to get a wash on the cloaks, a second coat of red on the breeches. I also added some dark green on the command section tunics. I did consider white as befits an elite cuirassier unit but decided on the Russian Green. The other conundrum is the musician. Quite often these had reversed colours to the rest of the unit. I was worried that it would look like a figure from a different regiment.

I have ordered the necessary green paint to do the cloaks for these and the two resin ones. Hopefully it will come soon as I want to crack on and get them finished.

At least these are Zombie cuirassiers!

Here we have Preserovitch’s Elite cavalry unit who have dismounted to hunt for Ferach stragglers in the Witchlands. I have basically just blocked in the cloak and breeches. I started quite late so I haven’t got as far as I would have liked. In reality the officer would have had a silver-grey greatcoat but I felt if I went down that route the unit cohesion would be lost. I might give him a silver breastplate to allow him to stand out a bit.

I am either going to put a wash on the cloaks or paint them in some grey-green paint. They aren’t as bright as they look here, but I am just not too sure if I like them or not.

The ones in the background are being painted up for my mate’s birthday. I need to find out the colours used on the prepainted ones so I have some hope of matching them in.

I really do like these figures and tried to buy just these from the starter set; instead I have had to wait a bit before I managed to get some.
