Pendraken sword armed 'Hat' cavalry painted as 1st Troop of His Majesty's Regiment of Horseguards at the battle of Sedgemoor. Plus a Dragoon interloper!

The slow, steady pace is clearly paying off. They look really good.

Just those blasted faces I really can't seem to get.

Try what's essentially three dots - a sort of chin-nose-forehead "sort of a T or V" shaped one, then a cheek to chin dot/stripe on either side (assuming all is visible!) - give the impression of a face by hitting the higher areas, leaving the rest in the black. At more than "so close to the eye they look like 28's" distance it works really well

BTW they're looking pretty darn good!

From you, Toxic, that is praise indeed. Thank you I will give it a try

That's nice to say, as I suffer from impostor syndrome and always assume my work is a terrible hack job

I do something similar to Toxic, i.e. paint face and hands chocolate brown, then use sunny flesh to touch nose, cheeks and chin and, where appropriate, the ears. For the hands I touch the back of the hand and then lightly touch the fingers. Doesn't always work, but often gives the impression of fingers. Can somebody please do something about that damn apostrophe as I've now had to retype two replies on this thread.

Infuriating, isn't it, the apostrophe?!

I bet rich/dark brown as a base is good for figures with facial hair? You can just dot in the other flesh and leave the brown for the beard!

Love those Late Romans! What excellent painting.

Yes, well said - I've seen worse big scale figures

(I shan't mention my early attempts when an enthusiastic teenager )

I like dem horse guards.

The horse guards are very good. Nice colours.
