I've been happily painting away at that pile of plastic previously posted...
...and was all ready to base up my first finished Persian sarabara bow element, when I double checked the basing requirements of DBA 3 to see, low and behold, they need to be on a 60 by 60mm base. Ahh. That'd make 8 20mm figures look quite sparse, when I believe the intention is to represent a big bunch of blokes.
So, pondering that, and needing more figures anyway for the additional 2 7Hd elements for the updated Early Achaemenid Persian list, I purchased another box of Zvezda Persian infantry from Stan while I was over there on Sunday. Only to discover that, in addition to the massed Persians I now possessed, I now had a bunch of additional archers. So...
...let me introduce you to my 12Bw elements of my DBA 3.0 I/60c Early Achaemenid Persian army.
Oh my, that's a lot of figures to paint!
Nick
Certainly is quite a few figures .. so get on with it ;-)
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a restful Xmas season

Ha! Well, the next bunch are ready for undercoat, while the first bunch are almost done.
DeleteMan, I wish I could paint faces!
Nick
DeleteEasiest 'cheat' way to do faces.. block paint, and then use your black wash. For a gaming figure seen at arms length that is all you need. I dislike the 'let's paint eyeballs' look.. it's never how you see people at a distance in real life.

Any progress is progress Nick. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteCheers Paul. 'Course, now it's raining, so I can't undercoat the next batch.
DeleteThat's a lot of Persians. They'll look quite smashing when done. Robin Sutton gives sage advice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Michael. That's what I'm hoping. And Robin's right. A good splodge of dark wash does wonders.
