Andalusian 28mm project - first multi-base draft - NewPics 2019-10-10

VERY colorfull unit. Considering the amount of detail on these guys, four years seems reasonable

It might have been mentioned further back but what rule system are you basing them for and what are your end plans for this project?

Never mind the painting time as long as it was fun to paint all the time. The results are really outstanding. I'd love to have some units like that in my Gallery!

Keep on!

Wonderful painting.

Thanks for the positive feedback, it's appreciated!

These are for my Kings of War historical armies. These will be the natural enemy for my Kings of War Vikings. The viking army is pretty big already, but I am working on a unit of un-armored spearmen for that one that's been underway since 2014... I also have a Roman Army, but I feel like a cheater pushing my Romans against my Vikings

Great looking figures! Very inspirational!! It would be great if you could put a tutorial together on how you paint he patterned fabric so well!

How big is the base they're on?

Thanks LazyStudent,

I've been toying with the idea of video tutorials, but it's a lot of setup and time and effort. Maybe I'll give it a try though, I have a decent mic and some half-decent cameras going to waste.

The base is based on a unit of 20 figures based on 20mm bases, which is five by four, so it's 100mm or 10cm by 80mm or 8cm. The think about Kings of War that is great is that it plays a lot like Warhammer, but it's fast and you don't remove your models piecemeal, which allows for the unit basing, which I *really* like. Managing hundreds of single-based figures for a game that is ultimately based on multi-figure units that die as one like Warhammer Fantasy isn't fun. Probably why that game is dead

Well, I would watch it if you made it!! Certainly a much higher standard than I can reach with my minis and so I'm always happy to learn! 😃
Ah, I see. We have a similar logic for our 28mm DBA games here in Hamburg. We use 50 mm for foot bar depths and 80 mm for mounted (all the official 60 mm wide though), which means we get much more of a diorama feel. Sadly the downside is the need to paint lots of extra minis for just one base! 😃

That's great! I originally based up my Vikings and Romans for DBA, but also a little deeper simply because modern figures don't fit on the old suggested base sizes anymore! DBA is great, but around here it's harder to find a 28mm game of DBA than it is Kings of War historical.

Thanks
