Some more additions...



Seen a guide on YouTube using a wash as a base then paint then wash again....I like the way the troops have turned out, although the photo isn't the best of quality  :(

yep those look loads better.
Put a piece of white paper/card under your models when you photo them they will pop out more.

Great work, yes a piece of card (or indeed a nice base) always makes the figures and painting stand out more.

Looking good, that man !

Looking good..Is that a Klear wash on the tent?

I was looking through  one of my figure boxes the other day and found a load of these British and Egyptians...no idea where they have come from or what to do with them...I did have a mad notion of painting the Egyptians khaki with a blue Fez and calling them the Blue Fez Nightclub Irregulars for some sort of AVBCW game
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Thanks for the advise! I shall use a white underside next time I take photos.

And I actually used games workshops nuln oil as all my paints are from them. Got a black tint to the wash.

Can we start clamouring for a massed wedding dance set? Lots of topless lassies with little shields etc; it would look great with the huts when doing a British attack of a Zulu settlement.

Yes, I remember the film too.  :D :D :D
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
