These models are the start of my human fantasy faction and as you can see I've gone for a traditional medieval appearance. The spear-men are Ebob Scottish Pikemen and the others are from Red Box Games. I think they mix together well-enough! So 11 models painted in March, bringing 2013's overall total to 48. That's roughly one model painted every two days! More pictures on my blog.

Looking good

What colours did you use for the gambeson? I'm always interested in finding new ways to paint that sort of khaki/creamy/sandy colour - never get it quite right

Those minis work great together!

How do you do your bases? They look good for dungeon crawls or wilderness skirmish.

Fine sand drybrushed with greys. The 'moss' is a mix of Woodland Scenics Fine Turf Burnt Grass/PVA/Water/Vallejo Sepia wash applied with a cocktail stick. When dry give a drybrush with a yellow-brown colour. The idea, as you point out, is to be able to use them in dungeon crawls and above-ground games.

So you pretty much turn the turf into a paste? I will have to give that a try. Right now I just glue it down with pva and it looks kinda boring.

These guys look great together and I really like the paint jobs. I also have some Ebob minis, I really should get around to painting them. A small suggestion, perhaps a light black wash on the metal, example: the Ebob Pikemen's helmet looks a little flat (ignore my suggestion if you prefer the metal to look that way though).

Are you going to paint any more?

Cheers,
Damien

Nicely painted Fipps! I always wanted to see how ebob fared next to Red Box.

Keep painting!

Nice work Funghy - I've seen the Redbox minis before but not really familiar with the Ebob guys - looking good
