Evil Dave's Flouncy Shirt Brigade
« on: May 04, 2016, 12:22:29 PM »
Taking a break from Wrath of Kings for the month to participate in the May 2016 Tale of Warmaster Painters. I was planning on doing a Warmaster army last year before WoK came out and I subsequently started painting an army for it. The plan was Ogres, but for the Tale I thought painting up some of my Warmonger Miniatures for the store would be a better use of the time.

I committed to painting a unit of Landsknechte Zweihänder and Pikeniere (Great Swords and Pikemen). These will be red and yellow quartered. I finished up the skin and armor this week and moved on to the yellow. These guys got a wash too, I have yet to do that with the Pikemen. I think I'll base and wash the red first too before moving on to the main color and highlights.

Always impressed by what people do at these small scales. Make sure you show us the finished products.

Thanks guys, got a good chunk of the pikemen down this week.

They're 10mm Capt. Blood. About 11-12mm tall.

Work continues on the landsknechte for me. I finished the yellow this week and gave the red a basecoat and a wash. After the red's done I still have to do: socks, shoes/leather, pike hafts, gold bits, hair. So likely another week or two but still on course for the end of May I think.

Thanks James.

I finished up the red this week (although I'm thinking I might hit it with one more highlight, thoughts?) and got a basecoat and wash on the leather, wood, socks and hair. I hope to finish those up next week, paint the feathers and do touchup, then basing!

The warmonger miniatures are a joy to paint.  There's lots of detail for 10mm.  Great job on yours.

I was hoping to get some decals on these for the banners but ran into printer problems. These are "done enough" for the Tale, but I hope to come back to them at one point for the banners, one more dullcote and grass tufts for the Warmonger Miniatures store.
