Board and Miniatures¶

The first miniatures are done :-)

The miniatures are done except the bases and the coat of arms/banners. I am still tinkering with them...

As requested, here are some comparison pictures with older Citadel miniatures.

I continued to work on the models, painting the wood, leather and woolen hoods. I still tried to use non-colours, only browns and beiges, etc. The real colours will only come with the clothing and coat of arms.

I painted the quilted armour in three different shades of light brown / khaki.

The plate armour, helmets, bucklers, hellebarde blades etc. were painted in steel. I used the Vallejo air colour, which has a very nice consistency.

I worked on some more bases today, I have 20 in total ready, now I need to wait for the balsa wood.

Board and Miniatures¶

Today I painted the skin of the models, highlighted the metal areas and glued the arms and upper bodies in place.

I basecoated the models with my airbrush and Vallejo surface primer black 28.012.

The first colour I applied to the chainmail some of the miniatures are wearing with... 72.053 Chainmail Silver... what else...

After that, I painted the studded leather armour with 70.822 German Camo Black Brown. Yes, there is really not only black and silver on the miniatures in the following picture:

I bought the MDF sheets last week, and started Saturday to work on the bases. The ordered balsa wood was on backorder, but should arrive this week as well.

I started to cut the boards using my Proxxon KG50 using the spacer. This makes sure the connecting edges are all the same width.

The rest of the way I cut with a coping saw.

The undersides where then sanded, so they were flat.

Next I drew two lines on the top side, the area between them will remain flat, the area to the outside will be sloped down.

I started the sloping by cutting a ~20° (the diagonal from the lower corner to the line marked on top from the center 10mm strip) angle at each corner, again to make the seam between two segments as even as possible.

The rest was cut freehand and then sanded.

All pieces done so far:

I did not pay enough attention when buying the models. On the one hand the command group only includes 4 models, so my unit is not 20 strong but only 19; on the other hand it includes two leader type models and no halberdier, so I have an extra hero (back row with the plumed helmet) but only an 18 strong unit.

Models ranked up and glued to bases.

Here you can see how I marked the position of the models.

Bases covered with plaster to hide the integral bases.

Bases covered in sand.
