Just undercoated 3 x 28mm figures for my New Model Army. They are representing Dr Payne (No pun intended, that was the name of Armies Physician to the Army in 1645 and 1646) a surgeons assistant and an unfortunate having his leg amputated.
My scaled down New Model Army already has the Army Chaplain, Agitator and staff officers represented. Just the Surgeon, Scout Master and Master Gunner to get and paint.

Today I finished off
1x3Kn for the Feudal Spanish - this army is now complete
1xLCh(Gen) and 1xLCh for the Caledonians - also now purple compliant
1x3Bd and 1c4Bd for the Low Countries - the army is battle ready (can field a legal army) so long as at least one of the Kn elements stays mounted and doesn't get off the horses to become pikes.
Cheers

Battling my way through some cavalry elements for my DBN Russians, really not enjoying them despite the Baccus sculpts being great. Nearly at the ink stage where for my figs the magic happens turning blobs of coloured metal into passable figs then the highlights sort em.

Never bothered inking or highlighting 6mm - the effort involved just doesn’t justify the overall result, IMHO... P

I assure you if you saw how I blob paint on figs covering it up with ink and using highlights to neatly cover over mistakes is an escential part of the process. I have detested doing the cav bug determined to finish off my first basic DBN force as hopefully it will be one of the games played at a garden play date comin up. Got shed loads more to do to get anywhere near a Blucher force though needless to say I got a much larger order than was sensible. Then got a smaller French order as a way to lure some of my club mates into the joy of 6mm Naps.

Finished up a Horde for my non-compliant Phrygian army and now onto the second cavalry unit.
I wish all the cavalry figures painted up so easily as this sculpt, especially with the rider and horse as one piece.
Although I would still be painting, I find people posting on this forum of what they are painting, very motivational to keep whittling away at the lead pile.

With a large mountain of lead to contend with, any motivational posts are greatly appreciated!

A very formidable looking group. Swedes are next, otherwise I too would make a start with the C.A. Turks

Just started updating some Mikes Models pikemen for a Mithridatic army, as well as ordering scythed chariots from Lancashire Games.
