Thanks! It’s almost a shame that there’s only one of these to paint as I’ve gotten the floral patterns down to a technique that would work really well painted across a regiment.

But we love pedantic rants–the more obscure and esoteric the topic the better. Great work on these though and interesting reading.

“Stealth Bombers of the 20th Century” sounds like the books you get in discount bookshop The Works over here. “Was £49.99 now £4.99”.

I think some step-by-steps on stubble is something that would make a lovely set of photos. I’ll bear that in mind next time I paint a manly man chin.

Thanks! I sorely wanted to make my point about about the miscalssification without it just devolving into a pedant’s rant.

The floral designs, patterning and details like the stubble catapult these onto another level. The nine all together are a very pleasing sight indeed.

Cheers Crooksy! The part of my brain that’s been conditioned by years of Games Workshop marketing keeps telling me the Imperial Guardsman’s basic pose would make a unit of him very easy to build…

Interesting history lesson Curry, and the mini’s are, as always, much better than mine in every way.

Cool work brother :)

Thanks Paul! It’s one the boons of following an established scheme is you mix up colours you don’t normally paint and learn new recipees. It stops you doing the normal “Oh, it’s a spear staff, I’ll use my regular brown”.
