DBA First Crusade project

[paulr]

More touch ups on the Byzantine bases

More base colours and some dry brushing on the Armenians

Cut out the bases for the Armenians, even though they won't be needed for a while

[d_Guy]

Beginning to suspicion that you are an engineer - or a Puritain minister! 
At any rate vastly admire your work ethic.

Most of the base colours now done on the Armenians

There was a break in the showers and cloud

It was long enough to varnish the Byzantines

And to take some pictures once the varnish was dry

I better post process them and get them posted

Really, really top notch, Paul ! 

Cheers - Phil

[toxicpixie]

Cracking stuff Paul!

Hope the game goes as well as the painting

[FierceKitty]

When's Manzikert due?

[fred.]

Nice looking troops, like they way you have kept to a limited palette, does make them look part of a whole.

I'd always like to see more troops in a unit though!

[Norm]

Very nice.

[d_Guy]

Like 'em, Paul 

[jchaos79]

They have a lot of flavuor. Geat painting!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Especially superbly brilliant!

[paulr]

When's Manzikert due?

After I paint the Seljuq Turks

Nice looking troops, like they way you have kept to a limited palette, does make them look part of a whole.

I'd always like to see more troops in a unit though!

I was tempted to use the 25mm figure bases, 60mm wide
but that would have meant well over a thousand figures for the project

[Leman]

And......?

[paulr]

Longer to wait between pictures

[Bodvoc]

Super work.

[Leman]

I think the long wait would be worth it. I generally DBA (2.2+) with 10mm 0n 60mm frontage, however I also usually only do two armies at a time.

[skywalker]

Nice job dude 

[paulr]

Good progress on detailing the first batch of Armenians

Got to play a solo 'test' game of DBA 3.0 with the Syrians and Byzantines
I will post a brief report, hopefully tonight

[d_Guy]

I'm giving 3 to 5 on the Byzantines.
