The painting tray is overflowing with chariots. My plan is for a first wave of 9, but I want to go to eventually muster 20 or so. Most of the crews have gone off to Nick to be painted (he'll do a far better job with plaid than could I).
In the foreground are the chariot horses, which I hope will be fairly quick to paint... and I need to finish basing the cohort of Dalmatians on the front left, to clear a bit of space!
Plenty to be getting on with there! Interested to see how you paint the horses.
ReplyDeleteOn Darrell H's blog there was a good example of the "Darren Harding Method" (tm) using washes and drybrushing.
I find painting horses a bit of a challenge - which I'll need to overcome if I'm to get my Normans up and running!

20 chariots means 40 horses! and 40 crew members.
ReplyDeleteThat should keep you busy for a while. Be an impressive sight when they are finished.
Cheers

Oh no! I'd forgotten about the plaid!
ReplyDeleteHi Matt, I usually highlight and then hit with Army Painter- I hope that the AP spray undercoats will help save painting time.
ReplyDeletePaul, yes quite a job, but a friend will paint the crew, so "do-able".
Legatus, I posted this morning and they should thud (and I mean thud, they weigh a ton!) through your letterbox tomorrow.
Cheers, Simon
Now that is a seriously impressive painting queue, best of luck and I look forward to seeing the results.
ReplyDeleteThey tray does look a little busy!!
ReplyDeletelooking forward to seeing this come together
ReplyDeleteSimon,
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the thud!

Chariots have arrived safely! There is a lot of bare metal to contemplate!
ReplyDeleteGlad they made it OK, Stephen. I'm sorry there isn't more variety in the crew figures; I'l show you what I'm doing with the Wargames Factory minis, which might make for some variety.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Simon
