(Hobby)brushing the dust off... (Spring clean '25)
Of Roman Praetorian cavalry….
As I put the elephants in the cabinets, I noticed a unit which I’ve clearly got used to seeing in its half finished state.
I started these romances Praetorian Cav a few years ago (doesn’t feel like that long but it was probably pre pandemic….).
their start point – dust and all!
They’re already a fair way through.
horses are all done with foundry triads from the “horses” paint set.
the one thing of note is the red. I love this tone and use it a lot – it’s Vallejo model colour black red as a base, then mixed 50/50 with VMC dark red and finally highlighted with pure dark red. You’ll see it regularly on my models!
So it’s mostly detailing. At this stage,
I’ve done bed rolls with the foundry triad.
flesh highlighted with foundry expert flesh D.
white based with citadel astronomicon grey and highlighted with Vallejo model colour white.
Think that’s it, until next time….
