Here is my second batch of Wargames Atlantic Elizabethans, six of these little chaps are straight out of the packet, whilst the other four have been constructed using the spare parts from the WA kit and mashed together with Warlord Games plastic ECW figures to give some additional figures that can be used.

| The completed batch of ten new figures |
If you look carefully you should be able to figure out which ones are originals and which ones are conversions.
 |
| Two, two-handed swordsmen! Left is built using Warlord Games ECW torso, right is 100% Wargames Atlantic |
To paint these guys, I undercoated in white and then for most the figures I used a linen colour to represent undyed materials making up shirts, hose or jacks. A few brighter colours were then added, sparingly, to brighten up the figures - such as hats, pants and hose - before applying either gunmetal for armour or a buff colour for leather.
 |
| Two sword & buckler men, both 100% WA figures, although I have sapped in bucklers from other WA kits. |
I used a sepia wash to add highlighting to the skin areas and a light brown ink on some of the shoes and bags, before applying a home made 'paynes grey' wash on all metal work to simulate bluing of the metal. A thinned down dark tone was used to shade most other colours.
 |
| A growing group of pikemen, unarmoured figures are Warlord Games mash-ups, whilst outer, armoured figures are WA. |
Overall a nice, simple group to add to the expanding Elizabethan collections
 |
| Finally two musketeers, left is 100% WA, right is based upon a Warlord Games ECW torso. |
