Odds and Sods Off the Painting Desk

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.

I like all of your stuff, but that Saracen base just has everything and I would put that as being something special.

Thank you, Darren! The BTD Fantasy Saracen range looks pretty good.

Seems the Saracens are the winners in this grouping!.

Thank you, Nathan! I agree about BTD figures; some of my favorite figures.

Norm, you are very kind.

Yay! I vote for the Spanish! Thank you, Phil.

Philotep said...

Saracen riders are always a challenge, and you did very well on these !

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Iain! The Spanish markers will prove useful if I ever get them to the table!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Much appreciated, Dannoc!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Tony! The markers will prove useful...some day.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Ray!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Scott! For me, the Dip is the great equalizer.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thank you, Phil. The REAL challenge is figuring out how you paint skin tones so well!

Jonathan Freitag said...

Ok, perhaps not an "equalizer" but it gets me progressing in the correct direction...

Dartfrog said...

The Saracens look good, and a nice counter point to the cloth and leather that otherwise dominates the collection.

Jonathan Freitag said...

I agree! I planned to have this warlord leading Sikhs and Afghans on the NWF but they could see service in the Reconquista too.

Very nice I particularly like the Arabs.

Cheers, Ross

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Ross!

Mark Strachan said...

Nicely done Jonathan. It is always good to clear the odd pieces off the painting table.

Jonathan Freitag said...

Yes, it a good therapy. Unfortunately, there is plenty more where these came from!

Stew said...

I agree, the horse armor came out very well. I noticed it right away. 😀

Jonathan Freitag said...

Thanks, Stew!
