Three rounds a minute in any weather
Sir Maxwell's first command
Finally! After a few stop-start painting sessions and general toddlers stopping play I’ve managed to get my first two groups of line sorted.
They’re ‘tabletop quality’ in that I’ve not bothered with much in the way of highlighting or fine detail work but as a block of troops they look decent.
The second group have come out better than the first- I made the mistake of trying to paint white directly on the red of the jacket. With the second group I used the same buff colour as the trousers to base the white parts. When I painted over them they came up much more cleanly (plenty of brush errors in there though, certainly not my finest work!)
Ironically though, the plumes are better on the first group.
I’ll probably have to go back over the white on the first group because up close they do look much worse, but at a distance it’s not too noticable. After a while the line troops will end up mixed and matched anyway so they’ll blend in.
These figures will all look a lot better when they’re based too. I’ve got to decide exactly how I’m going to do it for this army and then I can get this first batch sorted. I’m thinking sand, flock and a smidge of static grass.
Next I think I’ll treat myself to paint another leader followed by his command, possibly I’ll do some flank company skirmishers next.
Looking Good.
One suggestion, hit the Minis with a light Black Wash it will really help pick out details although these look good as is.
Can’t wait to see the rest!
Cheers! I’ve actually washed them with reikland fleshshade but went lighter on the white – the group at the back look a bit pink and muddy because I went a bit heavy with it first time around. I kinda like the stark white! My other washes are the older GW ones which are more like inks with a ridiculous amount of pigment in them, if I even so much as looked at my pot of black wash it would turn the figures back into their basecoat in a flash! As line troops I have been pretty lazy, they all just… Read more »
