Missed touch up fixed

Final dry brush done

Figure bases painted

They will be dry enough for Pierre the Shy to pick up before our regular Saturday game this evening

Just after I finished them I got a txt suggesting I might like to do some Gordon Horse next

Gordon Horse will be sorted shortly

Based up my test unit of gael tonight - a small retinue of seasoned highlanders from Clan MacDonell of Glengarry who fought at the Battle of Alford.

Trying to depict them making a "highland charge"......you can tell me how successful I have been once I finish adding some flocking and colour the edges of their banner from Pendraken's PNFL 114 flag sheet. 

I reckon they look pretty good overall.....the gentlemen who painted them must have tracked down some tartan paint after all

Looking forward to seeing these flocked up

Helmets and limited armour base coated and dry brushed

Most of the buff coats base coated

Almost finished up the MacDonnells but decided to order some tussock clumps from a local supplier to add the bases to differentiate the highlanders from their lowland neighbours. Should hopefully arrive tomorrow.

Other clans represented in the first batch will be Camerons of Lochiel, Stewarts of Appin, Campbell of Argyll and Campbell of Auchinbreck.

Staying between the lines of neutrality on these by doing some clans from each side as I know local gamers with surnames of Campbell, Gordon and Cameron

Jackets and trousers base coated

The "highland tuft set" arrived so I applied a few different clumps to each base without getting too carried away.....really adds to the overall look of the unit....a good investment for around 10 quid 

I will try and take some pics but the weather is not supposed to be too good for the next few days.

Basing up some more highland stands tonight now I have all the stuff I need to finish them.
