Painting looks terrific. (Many examples of QS over the web look, er, not this good.

)

Some close-ups of one or two figures would be good.

I don't really do close-ups… My figures are supposed to be viewed at table-top distances - if I was being pretentious I would say that they are like an Impressionist painting - designed to be viewed form a distance instead of peered at from close range. But, I have relented, a bit… Here is a sort of close-up:

I understand completely.

As I paint in a different style - only occasionally using washes - I'm always curious as to how other styles look. So thanks for bending your own rules. (Incidentally, these look pretty good to me!)

Thanks again.

Amazing work and photography, these are very lovely, Phil, great to see you performing QS magic again

Thanks! This week I've painted another 16 figures to complete the unit:

Superb as always. You always seem to get the colour combinations spot on!

Thanks! I love choosing colours for wargaming projects - on the strength of that, I even get the job of picking colours for decor around the house! The missus openly admits that I have a far better eye for colour than she does.

Aventine does some great minis.

And yours looking awesome!

Stunning Phil! Your Pyrrhus project is really cracking along.

Great showcase for those Aventine models!
Thanks for sharing, hope there's more to come.

Thanks Lads!

Yes, more to come - just starting on a unit of 30 Tarentine levy phalangites - five ranks of six figures. They will, quite deliberately, use virtually the same colour palette as the hoplites on this page - so they look as though they're from the same place.
