Very nice painting by both of you!  My wife tried painting once, didn't like the details, and when I mentioned ink washes and highlights...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Love the sense of movement, really look good sir! 

[jchaos79]

Thanks, Ottoman range is really good sculpted!

You know when a figure has a bad, good or superb sculpt when you paint it. And that unit was a pleasure to paint.

More great work.  The thing I always like about your figures is that they are nicely painted with bright colours, and I imagine they really stand out on the table.

[jchaos79]

Thanks Leon, really appreciate your comment. This is the idea: paint figures that look good at 50cm (the distante between your eyes and the table), as simple as possible.

Just trying to experiment with armypainter. Here is my paint preparation for some saxon archers. Any critici, suggestion or comment for a newby with armypainter will be appreciated.

I like the leather brown and the other reddy brown as a base coat, especially for horses. I tend to overpaint most of it but it creates a better starting point than white or black, and you can leave bits unpainted. For horses these colours are great as with a bit of a wash and dry brush you are done.

I've not tried their shades but often use my own wash.

Thanks fred, I will try!

Now a unit painted by my wife Mchaos

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Those are great, mean moody and menacing!
Maybe a bit more sand on the bases or some flock to hide the change from base to figure?

Mchaos: Thank you mad Lemmey, I will follow your advice!
