Excellent stuff James  - the armours look great 

When it comes to Late Med armours it's always been a little bit of a dilemma; to varnish or not to varnish? I usually opt for matting down but it does take the shine off the armours.

Yours look superb

Great project James - I really like that armour painting technique

Thank you very much for the kind comments.  I was inspired with the silver spray by some folks on the Billhooks Facebook group and it came out far better than I was predicting.
PS Darrell, sorry to shock you, but I never varnish armour.  I find that metallic paints are much less likely to chip than matt surfaces and varnish around them. Is that weird? It works for me.

Not weird at all matey It's something that I should try. As soon as I can get the MIG Ultra Matt brush on varnish for the clothing etc I'll give some armours a go in the same manner as you have done so successfully. With the MIG, I think it's just s matter of getting the consistency right- hopefully anyway

Nice work. What size are your bases?

Excellent brushwork James

Cheers

Cheers. Each figure is on a 20x25mm base, with twos on 40x25 and threes on 60x25.  I like the extra depth and it means I can do configurations for most games.

Thanks James.
