Italian Wars

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!

Italian Wars

Post by valleyboy » Sun Oct 16, 2011 3:15 am

This all began with the "my codpiece is bigger than yours" challenge to a mate on another forum a while back

I have too many projects on the go at present but though it might be fun to put them on the table, but I thought I might have had a few more than this painted to date. Nothing like seeing your troops out to galvanise you into painting more :roll:

Vallyboy, Brilliant just one more period I would love to do, soooooo tempting and the quality of painting is spot on.

Really, really lovely! I must have spent the last 10+ minutes gazing at those.

(And nice to see some Eureka stuff in there to boot!)

All very nice indeed. Favourite period so nice to see some eye candy. Haven't seen any of the Eureka Mini's painted up before so that was interesting.
