Are the chest badges transfers as they all look identical?
Thanks Mick. No, they're hand painted.

That is even better :-*

That's some fine painting. How long do you need on each miniature ?

Difficult to say, because I always paint in batches of 5 - 10 figures at a time, and spread out across several painting sessions, usually over the course of a week or two weeks, fitting the painting in when I can.

But I suppose if the figure was ready prepped, it would take around 1 - 2 hours to complete a figure from start to finish, depending a lot on how much detail was on that figure.

Put it this way... typically I paint only around 120 - 150 figures a year, so I'm certainly not prolific.
(I know some wargamers who paint 150 figures inside a couple of days...  :))

Richard, these last pictures are great. Not so shiny and look more like having your figures in your real hands. New camera???

Beautiful stuff Richard as usual  :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-* :-*

Just for the record, the bags pf arrows and the cover for the bows were made out of (oiled) canvas and not leather  :).

Just mentioning it as it looks like the archer who is carrying his arrows and his bow in a more leathery colour. Of course, this does not detract from the painting!!

Even by the standard already set in this thread, those are incredible! An absolute joy to behold.
Proudly not painting Wars of The Roses since... ever
