The slippery slope of WOTR - foot knights pg 2
« on: December 25, 2020, 07:09:26 PM »
I used to play a lot of Wars of the Roses using Armati, but sold off all my figures 12 years ago and swore I was going to give it up!

But then...Perry plastics... Never Mind The Billhooks... my gaming buddies painting up Perry minis... Captain Blood’s 142 page thread of WOTR goodness... the forthcoming Worldwarroses event...

So I cracked and painted up a dozen figures to get me restarted.  These are a quick paint job using mostly GW Contrast paints with some highlights.

For a ‘quick job’ they look excellent. The contrast paints are proving interesting.

They look great, I'm considering getting some of these paints to get through a few of those armies just sat in a box.

My worry is that it would take too long for me to paint them up and that it would break my (probably insane but working) "Rule of three"!  :o

I have similar concerns, but if i were to paint them all "properly" I'd need to discover the fountain of youth first lol

Yet it seems to be an inevitability!  lol

Rule of 3?  Is that no more than three projects at once?

Yeah, it has worked really well for me since getting back into the swing of things, my output has never been higher..... possibly until now  lol

Great work! Apart from the occasional mould line, the sculpts and colours are such that they could almost pass for real troops.
