The Dark Watch - a Silver Bayonet project (updated 18/08 WIP)
« on: January 22, 2022, 11:37:42 PM »


Very much WIP at the moment as it’s too cold to varnish and finish basing, but loving this project, a reinvigorated offshoot of my Folk Horror stuff.

Various poor in progress shots here:

I was looking at the perry landing party too but that highlander with the two-handed sword is inspired
On the lookout for 10mm Magister Militum Fantasy figures, halflings and woodelves in particular

Great brushwork and the fine attention to detail always makes that little bit that takes it to the next level and really makes a model pop. Well done indeed. And I feel you on the cold, I have a bunch of figures waiting for their finish coat but it's been too cold to even do them in my greenhouse which is where I usually pull off my primer and finish in the winter.
We haul ours to kick theirs.

Fantastic work, there! The use of the Naval officer as an infantryman in a sort of undress uniform without lace is a great idea, very apt!
