So, my initial attempt at painting 25mm figs

OK, so after two years I've finally given in to having a section of the FORUM specifically set up to discuss painting techniques, display examples, show your latest projects and chat about this vital part of the hobby. Manufacturers please feel free to post up your sculpts, ask questions about what the gamers are after and generally promote your work.. no charge! Painters, please also feel free to post up your work for comment and critique. I can't promise the unreserved adulation characteristic of some other fora but I would hope you'd get constructive and measured comment!

So, my initial attempt at painting 25mm figs

Post by Me paints good » Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:26 am

Here they are, my first battalion of Front Rank Marlburians, destined for the auction block because they were a test unit. I am already halfway done with the first footguards and i'm doing a brighter shade of red. I also want to get better with the bases, but I do like the way they turned out.

The unit is the Cameronians, i just took their basic colors and asked my hard core presbyterian brother what would be something really presbyterian to put on it and he said, by grace alone. When I do this unit for reals, I'm going to add more hollywood flair with tartan sashes over the shoulders of the officers and the preacher fig that front rank makes.

Preacher yes but any flamboyancy is a definite no for Cameronians , ther was a debate when they were formed as to whether a red coat was an affront to God these boys were dour with a capital D . A trait they carried right on to the disbandment,which I had the pleasure of attending.
