Over here, Vallejo paints are usually cheaper than GW. Not by a huge amount, but I buy my Vals at a little under £2, whilst the GW's are a little over.

For me it's not about cost. I find that the Vals are not really that much better for me, AND I really don't like those bottles. They tend to dry out on me and clog, and after I squeezed on an orange one that I really needed a drop of paint from and it blew up, costing me about 30 minutes of clean up time, I refused to use them ever again!..

But, ultimately, I meant to say used whatever you're comfortable with, whatever works best for you!

thanks

Got a load of hat stuff for my VBCW collection. Not always the best but you got alot for your cash.

That's cool! Do you have links to pictures?

I find that some HaT stuff is great, some is not... they very quite a bit.

Thanks

£2! I get 50ml of craft paint for that!

Nice heavy glass bottles with a screw cap. Add a drop of floor/window cleaner and it´s exactly the same as all the paints aimed specifically at the Hobby.

Fraid not mate, I've only got about 5% of it painted so far!

When I'm about 50 I'll get back to you..

I got around to posting pictures of the spear/javelin Andalusian light horse that I finished back in November 2013. These figs are nicer than the archers from previously I think.

Thanks

You've done a striling job with the brushwork considering they're 1/72...

Excellent stuff

Thread Necromancy!

So I am working on my 28mm Andalusians again. I really want them as an age-appropriate opponent for my Vikings. Smashing those vikings into Romans just doesn't feel quite right anymore

Next up is a unit of Andalusian spears. I have a few on the painting block, but here are the spear-armed city militia that I plan to collect on a multi-base when I'm done the ones I'm currently working on. There were painted over the past few years, so they'll finally be happy to be put to use! These are Gripping Beast plastic Arabs, which aren't perfect but work well, especially with some Conquest Norman and GB Dark Age warrior bits. Only thing is, they look a bit too highly motivated...

Unit leader, should be the only motivated soldier in the bunch! It's a Gripping Beast Arab with a Conquest Games Norman head and some putty for the chain mail under the tunic. Apparently the Andalusians likely work tunics over top of their chain, so I thought I'd add it in here... I'll likely do it for the cavalry as well...

An I need some slingers too, so here are the first couple using Gripping Beast dark age slinger hands and heads. I read that there were some 'slav slaves' in the ranks of slingers and skirmishers, but that they were actually norther Europeans (Franks, Vikings, etc), so I added a viking-ish person in there for flavour.

Thanks
