During the last weekend, when the typhoon was passing to the north, I was able to paint up the first of my warlord Chinese troops. I am pretty pleased with them, though my eyesight just isn't good enough to get really good facial details like Joe Kano has been able to with his troops. As for painting five color hat pins, forgedda about it! I am also not so happy with the collar tabs but I think that the bases, which are my standard for the BOB came out well. So here are my first 10. All of them lovingly smuggled past my good wife.

I know from this angle that many of the faces are shadowed so just to prove that yes I did paint them.

........and some action shots of the troops of the Dog Meat General

Comments and critique are always welcome. It is how I improve.

Good looking figures.
I hope, the first of many we get to see.
May I suggest a wash of a darker color on the leggings.
Would make them stand out.
Excellent work on the basing.

Nice work.

I've been wondering about a good "catch all" basing color scheme for BoB, I like your's and may have to borrow it.

Totally agree on both counts

Gotta say how much I like those bases!

I'm a huge fan of the muddy gravely look when I base my 15mm troops. You totally nailed it here.

Cheers.

They look good, Lon.
And you got them past the wife. Success!

I think they look great!

So here is the next battalion for the Dog Meat General. These fellows in fur caps. I'm happy with them but I'm afraid that my photographic skills are even more poor than usual.

and another of them in action defending a warehouse containing another extraordinary tax so that the Dog Meat General can support concubine #52 or was that #53?

Very nice! I have a lot of 20 odd something of them waiting for the brush...
