Wood done on Peasants

Metal base coated and dry brushed on Peasants  

Belts done on Peasants

Boots & hats done on the peasants

Skin base coated and hair done  

Skin highlighted

Touch ups done yesterday morning

Most of the peasants washed last night

Most, but not all

Some of the peasants are bare legged and somehow I had managed to miss painting their legs  
I had missed highlighting them
I had missed them when doing the touch ups
I only noticed when I was washing them, fortunately I was able to wash the wash off them and have base coated them this morning

The remaining peasants are waiting for these to catch up   
Then they can all have their final dry brush and figure bases done at the same time

Sounds like they will be the cleanest peasants ever seen in seventeenth century Ireland. Or seventeenth century anywhere, to be honest! 

Well the bare legged peasants are even 'cleaner' now

Legs were base coated yesterday morning and highlighted an hour or so later  

Washed yesterday evening just before I headed out for our regular Saturday game

Final dry brush & figure bases done  

Bagged up the peasants ready for delivery to Pierre the Shy

Sorted and undercoated six regiments of Anglo-Irish Horse  

A couple more regiments are sorted but they will have to wait until there is room on my painting rods

Helmets and armour base coated and dry brushed  

Horse base coated

Horses dry brushed

Coats base coated and most dry brushed  

Remaining coats dry brushed

Trousers done

Two thirds of the buff coats and gloves done

Based 5 units of "rabble" last night which are meant to be generic enough to use in any "celtic fringe" war of the three kingdoms scenarios.

Mainly for use in early Irish battles but will also be useful for other games where ill-armed and organised units are required such as Napier's reseve at Alford (mainly camp followers etc) and Carbisdale where Montrose's "army" was mainly composed of drafted farm labourers from the Orkneys.

just need to add flock and generic labels to complete them now. Since they are stictly generic units no standards or flags carried by them.     

Remaining third of the buff coats and gloves done

Buff coats dry brushed

Boots and hats base coated
