Captain Blood's very titchy (15mm) barbarians. P.25 - the armies assemble

STUNNING WORK
You put us mere mortals to shame

[Keith]

Beautifully done!
It was painting these that encouraged me to use magnification 

[Barry S]

Lovely work 

[Duke Donald]

These are sweet!

[Doomsdave]

Clean beautiful work as always Cap'n.  Those small scales are just scary to me now.  I gave my wife all my Red Box minis, because they hurt my eyes, and those are 28mm!   I am amazed you make the 15s look like larger minis!

[Deano]

Superb mate.

[matakishi]

These are unbelievably good.

stunningly good.

people comment on the brightness of your style - to me it evokes Bill Brewers work whom I used to bother in his shop (ie. not buy much) in the dim and distant ... never got close to that quality myself.

Great stuff.

....whom I used to bother in his shop (ie. not buy much) in the dim and distant ...

You and me both.
 

[Captain Blood]

Thanks all 

Stunning And as for taking just as long to paint, a nipple is a nipple in 28mm or 15mm Richard

- thanks for that Jeff...

Wow! Those are excellent Capt! So your Dino-Cave Wars board just became the equivalent of double its size?

That thought had occurred to me Andy  (And my Lucid Eye Simians, which stand around 20mm tall, will now act as giant apes to the teeny tiny barbarian populace!)

Thanks Bloggard. That is high praise indeed. I too used to regularly go and pester Bill Brewer in the Rye Stamp & Hobby Shop...
Ah, the 12A bus from South Croydon bus garage, all the way to Peckham... Used to take me well over an hour, and I'd make the trip every couple of weeks - just to gawp, when I didn't have any money to spend. I'd like to say Bill was always happy to see us young 'uns, but truth be told, he could be an irascible old curmudgeon at times... 
Generally not though, and he did always answer my questions about his painting...
I really think he is the true originator of the 'Dallimore method' that's pretty much de rigeur in the painting of wargames figures to a high quality these days. Those guys all learned at Bill's knee, at SELWG and the Warlords...

As far as the brightness of my painting goes, that's mainly down to lighting and camera. I do favour bold, saturated colours. But they don't look quite that bright with the naked eye. There again, with the naked eye, they're only a fraction of the size you see here on screen, so it's swings and roundabouts as I always point out

Amazing work. I wish I could get this good at any scale.

[DeafNala]

Your Little Folk are as WONDERFULLY painted & based as their larger Brethren. VERY WELL DONE!
Admiring them is worth the sympathetic eye strain.

[Captain Blood]

  Thank you Al
