Figures ready to be built, earlier this week |
As ever I have other batches on the go as well - specifically 4 new Dragoons to join my recently painted late 17th Century Dragoons see <here> and a full Tercio of late 17th Century Spanish infantry - The Tercio os Blancos - who are proving to be a real challenge as they are in mostly white uniforms and I'm not good with white!!
The finished Archers |
Anyway these Dark Ages guys are undercoating in white - by hand this time as spray can has run out - and painted in a variety of muted colours to reflect their lowly status.
Close-up of six of the little fellas |
Thinned down, Army Painter Dark wash wash applied and Matt varnish was used before basing to my usual method.
Another six, on left a handy axe to protect himself,
right of centre arrows ready to fire in the ground
|
I added a few bits and pieces to the bases,a couple have axes in the ground - placed there by the archers, in case of needing a handy weapon in a hurry and a couple have arrows stuck in the ground - maybe more familiar in medieval times but my guess if it worked then it would have worked before as well.
Final Six, on left arrows in ground, ready to fire |
