I paint Landsknechts fairly often and thought I'd start a figure by figure thread for inspiration if you've lost your Landsknecht mojo or need some ideas for colour combinations.

If you're interested I have put together a Landsknecht painting guide here; www.paintinglandsknechts.blogspot.co.uk

Here's a few to start.

They look amazing.

I have used your site as inspiration in my own Landsknecht project.

A quick question. How do you get that "dirty" look on your figures? Washes?

Stuart · « **Reply #7 on:** May 05, 2016, 11:32:52 AM »

Yep, I use a 3 step palette and apply a wash after the shade colour then build up again so that once the wash is dry this becomes the shade, the shade colour is then the mid tone and the mid tone is the highlight with the light tone a final highlight in some but not all colours.

Hope that makes sense, there's an illustrated step by step on the painting guide linked at the top of this thread.

I'm with Don on this Stuart, absolutely superb .
I find it facinating to see how other people paint the same figures as I am currently painting.
Keep the Faith Stuart
