I've had a few for nearly a month- just finished painting one up. Has to be glossed and then matted down which will take a week or so. I'll post up some gloss pics and then the matted down and based to contrast and compare.

The glossed mini's hurt my eyes  lol

I'm just lucky :)

First layer of Matt Varnish applied now. I'll have a good look at them in the morning to see if I've missed any spots. I usually do :)

Some rather glossy colour pics of the Aventine Bolt Thrower and a few Slingers

Please not- they will be getting a nice coat or two of matt varnish on roughly a weeks time.

This chap has already been matted down-more of less the size of the mini:


Shiney!

Oh, lovely!  :-*

Really like the way you painted the bolt thrower, but the minis are also gorgeous.

Thanks mate- it ought to look better in a weeks time when it has (finally!) been given a couple of dusts of matt varnish :)

I've got another two to finish although the colour schemes of the tunics etc will be reflected as attachments to the Unarmoured Spearmen units. In other words I haven't decided what colours to use yet :D
