Ab figs imperial guard..3figs
« on: July 03, 2017, 03:12:07 PM »
Unfortunately its only 3 figures but wanted to see how they came out,  however...

The mightiest of oaks grow from little acorns.

Used a bit of artistic licence with the gold work.... enjoyed painting these so ive ordered a bunch more.

1st use of the ak interactive, blue, red and white paint sets...





Think il do a scottish highland command set next...

Stunning. If you can paint a whole army of them... I think you will beat any opponent with charm.

A wonderful start, thanks for posting.

The blue looks a fantastic deep indigo and the AK seem to work a treat.

Can't wait to see more.

Amazing - both to the skill in your painting and the beauty of the figure that can make such results possible.

Thanks everyone, used the ak interactive red, blue and white sets.

Today a few more packs arrived, so hopefully wont be long until I have a battalions worth... though to be honest im not sure how many that would be for most rule sets...I was thinking about 30 looks a decent amount at that scale?

I don't think I have ever seen an AB figure that was not beautifully painted.
