Currently recovering from a pretty bad bought with Bronchitis, so output has dropped substantially. (The inhaler medication makes me a little too edgy to wield a brush reliably.) I have, however, at least managed to finish basing another unit.
This time it is a unit of slingers for my Reconquista Spanish army. These are sculpts from BTD's Norman range. They come in a pack of four with some tear-dropped shaped shields, but I opted to swap them for these plastic round shields to make them a little more Spanish.
Seeing them now under the lights, I think I need to hit them with the dullcote again....
Slingers look good! Did these get the Minwax treatment? I quite like the depth of the skin tones and facial features.
ReplyDeleteI use Army Painter dark wash with a 50/50 mix with Mineral Spirit. It increases the flow and cuts down on the overwhelming sheen. I normally go: base Coat (either Flat black or AP Skeleton Bone) Block Paint, Wash w/24 hour cure, highlights.
DeleteThese guys have a lot of character - nice details on the tunic hem too. I agree with Jonathan on the shading. Dean
ReplyDeleteGood aditions. I had forgotten slingers were still in use this late!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about the Bronchitis (evidently with bronchospasm); hopfully it improves soon!
