Draconis does….. The Silver Bayonet
Spectral Soldier test model
6th August 2025
Just a quick test model for the Spectral Soldiers needed in the Italy supplement. I put together a British line infantry model, added some gravel for the base and hand primed it rubber black. Then I sprayed it over with white, leaving a little of the dark in the deepest shadow sections.
Then it was just a case of painting the base brown and rolling out the Speedpaint Pastel Seafoam, bought expressly for this purpose 😊
I followed this up with a drybrush white over the model. Then I added some flock and a tuft. To approximate a glow effect from the ghost I overbrushed part of the base area and part of the tuft in Hydra Turquoise, then highlighted that with Neptune glow. For the others I may not go so dark for the first stage.
Pretty quick paintjob, but serves the purpose. I will build a few more brits and some frenchies, then apply the same to all of them.
