We're using FoG:R. Looking forward to getting more painted. Roundheads are almost done.

It's true! Damn, these look good!  :o

Please tell me Rothgar, what do you do to paint those lively, detailed faces?

Cheers,

True. These figures have escaped the common tendency of 17th century P. and S. all to look the same. Well done, sir.

Thanks All,

The only thing different that I started doing with this regiment was prime using the automotive primer in a rust/red color. Normally I use grey or black.
I'm going to guess and say that any gaps or spaces that didn't get block painted get shaded by the wash, but it's a different hue than wash over grey.

I'll add some static grass and do a dull coat when I have a bunch more bases done.

Before I dash across the road to get my own can of rust/red primer, can you tell me how you did the faces?

Aart,

I didn't do anything special.. just block painted the face a flesh tone. I think the combo of the fleshtone (vallejo model color dwarf skin) and the GW Devlan mud wash make it stand out.

OK, well it's impressive anyway.
