A little touch of Fantasy colour!

I'm having a lot of fun with these 10mm Warmaster figures for Simon. Today I painted a unit of halberdiers, 36 figures in 6 strips to match those done before. Prepped up last night with matt black before a light dry brush of medium grey to bring out the details these 36 figures were painted over 3 short sessions broken up with cups of tea and lunch breaks - a total of about two and three quarter hours JBM! They still need matt varnishing and I'm looking out for some kind of device for the flags, possibly Renaissance inspired although I'm also going to look at Greek shield designs. I'll also be basing all of these as we go along with all units being of three bases. I still have more Wolf riding Goblins and hand gunners to go on this batch.

A few production shots with some timings.

Matt black base coat with gentle drybrush of medium grey.



Stage 1: 1 hour and 20 minutes, time for a cuppa!


Session 2:  Another 45 minutes and time for lunch, mackerel fillets on toast!



Session 3: About another 45 minutes painting.




And here's a couple of shots of the Knights, again just awaiting some decoration on the flags and banners before varnishing.
