Italian Wars- Up and Coming Vignette- Page 20- UPDATED- 05-04-2023

Love what you are doing. Italian Wars was the first
club campaign I was ever involved in. The army long
since sold on & I doubt I'll muster up the enthusiasm,
or money, for another full army...but a skirmish game
using the nice figures now available, & inspired by your
work, well that is a real possibility.

I'm pleased that the piccies have served as inspiration to you. Please post up pics of whatever you decide to do

Great looking unit. I do like the coloured tack on the horses - might try this if I’m feeling brave rather than my normal black.

Thanks. The coloured tack idea came from some Arab Caliphate cavalry I painted up a while back. The Italian Wars is so damn colourful, one might even say gaudy, I just thought what the hell and went ahead with it

Beautiful!

Brilliant stuff, beautiful!

Have you written anywhere, or could you, a how-to of how you do your basing? It's so clean and elegant; it's how I'd like mine to look, but I never quite get the colours or the balance of ground to vegetation/grass etc. right when I base figures.

As a matter of fact, yes I have.

The following link goes to an article on "Basing- How I do Mine- Step by Step":
Just substitute Citadel Steel Legion Drab with Vallejo Model Colour Dark Sand. Also, cover the whole base with a mix of different grades of sand.

As promised, here are the close ups of the single bases. Apologies for the condition of the background, I'll print out a new one ASAP!

Thank you for the very generous words, but there are many fellow brushmeister's on LAF that are head and shoulders above me.

Great stuff as usual - very inspirational!

Thanks for posting that link to your basing guide, much appreciated. Has never occurred to me to mix different grades of sand! Amazing how simple things make such a difference
