The first unit of the New Year marches off the painting table!
Like the Archers seen in December, these are Old Glory scuplts.
It was a bit challenging trying to figure out how the shields were meant to be held by the front rank figures!
Painting the "Tiger's Teeth" on the shields was a bit tedious, but worthwhile.
Once again the "Magic Wash" has worked well on these figures.
These figures do seem to lend themselves brilliantly to the magic wash Peter, and the painstaking work on the tiger's teeth was well worth the effort. Great stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence. the borders on the shield were a nuisance, ut I agree, the effect is worth it.
DeleteGood job on mating the shield detail with t he wash technique in the clothing.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joe. The Wash works really well on these figures!
DeleteVery nice and the shields really catch the eye
ReplyDeleteNice! For some figures, staining works better than for others. These warriors are in the 'better' camp.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely true, Jon; the deep folds in the robes takes the stain well.
DeleteThe front rank shields do look a bit troublesome Peter, I imagine it took a bit of time to work out which figure to place where! Detailing like the shield edging is always a pain, but almost always worth it ( if it goes wrong and looks crap....it wasn't worth it! Fortunately, your looks great!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Keith. Yes figuring out reasonable shield positions for the front rankers was a bear!
DeleteSuperb figures...with most impressive shields!
ReplyDeleteMerci, Phil. They're simple, really; just some tedious work on the "teeth"!
DeleteSensational Peter. That's a lovely shade of green for the shields (belts).
ReplyDeleteRegards, James
Thanks for the kind words as always, James!
