skb777, great painting of detail, lovely photo in link, to show detail and how you painted it. CarlL TBF with the detail on these models all you need to do is some dry brushing and washes. It makes it easy

And so it begins...first lot of Late Amorites undercoated 5x3Bd and 2x4Ax(I'm going to do the bigger elements first).
Meanwhile,I'm working on the bases of the Medieval Germans....I'll post pics when they are done.😉

After 5 months of working on the DBF 28mm ‘Battle of the Bastards’ project, I’m returning home to my 15mm lead pile… hope to start work on the Attalid Pergamene army, purchased from Magister Militum last year before they wound down their business… I’m looking at the Light Horse and thinking ‘how do I paint something so small…?’!! 😂😂😂

They won't take long and afterwards you'll be amazed how big the 15mm figures are.

True enough… I always find that starting to paint 6mm again brings up the same thoughts and, amazingly, once you get going, it’s a cinch 😉😂 P

After trying to do too big a batch of figures yesterday, (the thought had been they were so varied that I could do the one in five with helmet or armour then the one in five with whatever, but I ended up back and forth and not seeing much progress, mind there were just too many with 50 figures on painting sticks).... I took a smaller group of 20 figures from this big batch and managed to finish them today. They are five figures to a painting stick and each stick will become a 'horde' base in my Spartacus army. So I may take a leaf from Haardrada's 'production line' and stick this lot t bases tomorrow then pick up another 20 to work on till completed. There are 60 horde figures in the basic BIG DBA. (I think.... losing perspective on this one!) CarlL

I've been out of miniatures for a long while and just getting back into it for this and some 28mm TSatF for Zulu/Colonials. I feel like I'm almost starting over from scratch. I ran across mention of the "Slap Chop" method and gave it a try; I found that after a couple of figures I got the priming part figured out and have been using it for my 15mm DBA armies. It's really almost entirely gross drybrush, then some spot washes using Speed Paints. I also have been using magnifiers that I stole from my wife. They are more like glasses than the big head band jewelers ones and have different magnification level lenses. I just leave the 3.5x in and it makes a WORLD of difference!

A completed IV/13a Medieval German army (1106-1150AD)..of the Wendish Crusade 1147AD...based on the army of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony & Bavaria and brother in law of Richard I of England. I've tried a new basing technique to give a Northern European rather than my Dusty sandy look and I like the outcome. Danish and Early Polish contingents to follow once I've completed the Late Amorites.
