You may not make me buy any of the figures but you do make the buildings all the more interesting to me.

Wonderful work, Captain!

These are great.  Really excellent painting and a great spectacle en masse.
Still untempted by plastics though.  It's the fiddle-factor and time involved.  Wonder if I would feel differently if I bought a box?

and oohhh so matte 8)

They are.  Which varnish was used?

Well I did.
For 15 quid, it's worth a go. I can only tell you OT that I was a massive plastic-sceptic - and truthfully, I've bought one or two other boxes of plastics and I'm not impressed.
But these particular figures are simply amongst the best I've ever worked with - material immaterial!

Which varnish was used?

W&N Galeria matt varnish.

Mmm.  Might take a look then.  Then again, so much to paint; so little time available for painting... :?

W&N Galeria matt varnish.

Thought that's what you use.   :)  Mine always dries with a slight sheen.   ::)  (Still happy with DR, but like to know of alternatives.)

I can only echo CB's sentiments re plastics. I was a skeptic also until I saw his work here. What it boils down to is if there are any plastics on the market you would like it is the Perry offerings. I've since picked up a couple of boxes of Napoleonic cavalry and they unsurprisingly have the same high quality and ease of assembly.

So far, yes. A second box (crossbows, handguns, pikes) is due out around October this year. A third box (mounted armoured knights) will follow in 2011.

Thank you.

Slightly surprised to see this thread back after 8 years  lol
(Good grief - where did the last decade go?!!  :o)

If you like this, then you'll probably like my fuller Perry WOTR thread which followed this one...
http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=40936.0

But I warn you - it's a long read with an awful lot of pictures!

:)
