Looking good!
  

Another great looking set of units. I do like the look you have for these troops - I think its a combination of the painting, the formations, the labels and the basing. All come together to give a great end result. 

Ohh very nice indeed

Very nice indeed. When do you anticipate these will get their first game?

Not sure when they will get their first game

First, I need the weather to settle enough so I can get them varnished

Next, I need to find a slot in our regular groups schedule, I'm guessing late October or early November

That should give me enough time to add some more Indian cavalry and some undrilled troops; Nowabie, Zemindars, Badmash & Levies

Have you tried brush on varnish? It's quick to apply, gets better coverage than spray on, and you can use it year-round (so when it's -30 outside in winter, or 40 and humid in summer, here in Toronto).

I know it works well for some people, but I've had trouble with brush on varnish in the past:

• clouding
• reactivating the PVA and dislodging flock during brush on

Finished painting most of the bases for the next batch

Started painting the rest of the bases for the next batch, plus a few extras

Base coated the horses, bullocks and carts of the next batch

Always good to see a project progressing quickly!

A bit of a slow day today

Touched up base coat on horses and bullocks

Dry brushed bullock carts

Painted another side of the rest of the bases for the next batch, plus a few extras

Glued magnetic vinyl to most of the bases for the next batch

An even slower day yesterday, but partly due to a game in the evening

Based the previous batch

Yes, as you say.  More reliable - no misting, no rough finish and better cover - altogether better.   

I've had misting on both brush on and spray varnish, though both are a very rare occurrence and easily remedied.

I find spray varnish massively faster to apply and have had no problem with coverage.

Each to their own, though.
