A small, eclectic mix of stuff off the painting desk today.
First up, is a two-figure stand of mounted Saracen cavalry from Black Tree Design. My plan for this stand is to use it as a native warlord command stand for the Great Game project. With some of the highly ornamented noble cavalry from Foundry's Sikh Wars' range, I figured these guys would fit right in.
Next off the painting desk are six, Spanish infantry in campaign gear for the Spanish-American War project. These half-dozen figures will be used (obviously) as prone markers. Still a handful of prone figures to hit the painting desk including both Americans and Spanish. Figures are Old Glory.
Lovely work, and I especially like those Saracen cavalry figures. Very dynamic-looking.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lawrence! I like the cavalry too!
DeleteSome superb work here sir. Those Saracens look fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Darren! The BTD Fantasy Saracen range looks pretty good.
DeleteAgreed, especially the Saracen base...
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteLove those cavalry. Well done!
ReplyDeleteSeems the Saracens are the winners in this grouping!.
DeleteLooking good Jonathan. The Black Tree figures are very nice.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Nathan! I agree about BTD figures; some of my favorite figures.
DeleteReally love Saracen base!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI like all of your stuff, but that Saracen base just has everything and I would put that as being something special.
ReplyDeleteNorm, you are very kind.
DeleteVery nice, love the Spanish infantry...
ReplyDeleteYay! I vote for the Spanish! Thank you, Phil.
DeleteReally nice Saracen base! Useful Spanish too.
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain! The Spanish markers will prove useful if I ever get them to the table!
DeleteLovely paintwork on both but I have to say the Saracens are sublime.
ReplyDeleteMuch appreciated, Dannoc!
DeleteLike the prone Spanish figures , very useful .
ReplyDeleteThanks, Tony! The markers will prove useful...some day.
DeleteVery nice! Love the prone marker figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ray!
DeleteThat dip really worked for you on the horse armor. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Scott! For me, the Dip is the great equalizer.
DeleteOk, perhaps not an "equalizer" but it gets me progressing in the correct direction...
DeleteSaracen riders are always a challenge, and you did very well on these !
ReplyDeleteThank you, Phil. The REAL challenge is figuring out how you paint skin tones so well!
DeleteThe Saracens look good, and a nice counter point to the cloth and leather that otherwise dominates the collection.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I planned to have this warlord leading Sikhs and Afghans on the NWF but they could see service in the Reconquista too.
DeleteVery nice I particularly like the Arabs.
ReplyDeleteCheers, Ross
Thanks, Ross!
DeleteNicely done Jonathan. It is always good to clear the odd pieces off the painting table.
DeleteYes, it a good therapy. Unfortunately, there is plenty more where these came from!
DeleteI agree, the horse armor came out very well. I noticed it right away. 😀
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stew!
