Thanks to everyone for commenting.  (I thought they might go down well here,   )

Already started the next batch but as a weekend-only painter, will be a while before they show up in the thread.

Next batch...

8 Pike and Scythe men

[Orctrader]

2 more scythe men and a sergeant

[Orctrader]

4 more shot.

And to complete the second wave, some command.

They look well executed paint jobs till you zoom in and then they become a delight to behold...wow

[Captain Blood]

Top notch Malcolm 

[Hu Rhu]

Fantastic painting.  Looking forward to seeing this come together.  Are you planning to paint the Royalist side too?

[Orctrader]

Thanks chaps.   

...Are you planning to paint the Royalist side too?

No.  Just a few more rebels left than I'm moving onto something else.  Some figures with a lot fewer buttons.

Fantastic paint jobs

[Ramshackle_Curtis]

Your eyes are amazing. The [ainted eyes on your figures are great too !  Have you any tips?

[Atheling]

Fabulous work 

I love painting up Front Rank mini's 

[Orctrader]

Painted eyes on your figures...Have you any tips?

Must be "flat".  Front Rank are fine, Copplestone and some others, little protruding ball, I scrape out with a very sharp knife as part of the prep work.

I paint the base flesh first, then the eyes.

Black - the whole socket.

White or off-white horizontal line - leaving black"outer"

Black dot or vertical line middle of the white.

Tidy up as required.

Paint the rest of the flesh on the face.

Malcolm, those look amazing! How big will the force be with the rules you're planning on using?
