Finally Painted Something

[d_Guy]

What are you using on your bases?

Pendraken pre-cut MDF. Primary base is 50mm wide by 25mm deep. The flank bases (when needed) 20mm wide by 25mm deep. I like them flocked when seen in person but not so much in photographs. Your choice to use yours unflocked has much to commend it 😀

@Peter. I should have mentioned than using Jinetes EL21:

is also possible. They are Spanish sourced and used in the previous century in Ireland. They have their unique shields and I wasn't sure about the look for 1640's. I might add a troop sometime however (I have a pack in my yet to be painted Elizabethan Ireland lead pile).

I use 2mm Jervis Static Grass (1 part Autumn, 2 parts Summer, 2 parts Spring)

At rthe risk of ribald comment, yours looks like mine, but longer.

Thanks,mate! 

I use good old Army Painter Steppe grass since it closely matches my battle mats

You asked for it Nobby !

Take your pick from comments below  :-

I did not realise you new d_Guy so well.

From what I hear that's not difficult

You really should not be looking.

All types look very similar.

Missed these until now, they look fantastic, looking forward to seeing more of this project

Apologies for threadomancy, Bill, but I missed these - very nice job!

Have they seen table yet and if so, how'd they do?

[d_Guy]

Thanks Pixie! and mmcv too (I am that far behind in checking threads here)

Also belated laughs, Orcs. 

Been insanely preoccupied of late so the Irish won't see action for sometime.

Now slowwwwwly painting Scots Dragoons for something Pierre-the-Shy is planning.

Nathan you know how much I detest painting horse. Generally following your approach but with less impressive results.

Pleasure, they'll look cracking getting stuck in


If it helps I'm not massively fond of painting horses either
