After painting a force of Hungarians for Bolt Action I was supposed to start painting my Baron's War pledge. I had the first models primed and blue tacked on bottle caps for painting. Then came my Anno Domini All In pledge.

I was so inspired by the models so I had to paint a couple. And so now I'm working with two factions of the game.
Initially I was blaming my self for not taking the metal pledge, but albeit being a little soft to my tastes, the plastic models have very nice details and take paint really well. So overall I'm really happy with the stuff I got.

Enough talk here is the first two of the Ottoman faction I painted.

First Hatmi the bodyguard:


Then Bajuk Ahmed Aga the band leader





The bases have only paint and tufts on them. I was thinking of clear bases, but the original seems to work surprisingly well with just paint.

Last a buddy shot of the two. This time Hatmi has some gloss varnish applied to his skin, to make him look more sweaty. I think I might have overdone that. Poor light placement in the picture makes him shine even more.


Once again, I can't wait to paint more!
That's always a good sign.
Cheers
Samu

Nice job!

I'm about 9 guys into a collection of about 40.  I love these guys.

These are great. I've struggled to work out what the item is that is stuck through Hatmi's flesh - the artwork shows a key (if I recall correctly) but I think it's something different on the model ... but I don't know what!

Thanks for the comments. The thing going through Hatmi's skin looked like a chain. I painted it as such.

I saw it as a chain, as well.

Strange.  I don't get these guys with things shoved through their skin.

With the painting of these three Janissaries the Ottoman faction is now ready to hit the tabletop (or the gameboard in the case of AD1666).


And a group shot of the whole lot.


That was a fun little side project. I still need to paint another faction to play the game. So next up are the Spaniards. I'm hoping to get started with them this weekend.
