From BrendonW - Presenting King of Beers and Friends (90 Points)

Perry Miniatures 28mm plastics from the War of the Roses sets. 14 on foot and 2 mounted dudes. Not as much completed this week as last week but managed to build a few figures and enough to run out of 25mm bases. Should be re supplied soon through the mail and I have enough to paint for now. Also some of the week was used for completing a Myth bonus them entry. Should be plenty of amazing visions there.




This week I had a crack at painting black armour. I painted them panzer gray then a black wash then highlight again with the panzer grey. Only one cool King like figure is in the foot Knight box. A shame because it so cool and the head would be good to stick on one of the mounted plastic knights.

    Great work Brendon - and I love the approach to dark steel armour - I will have to try that out. These look great.

    Nice work that King figure looks bad ass, his body langue practically screams if you want some one killed right you got to kill him your self!

    Great looking group. The black armor turned out really nice and the king is excellent!

    Another cracking addition to your force Brendon. The black armour is wonderful and something you hardly ever see.

    These are lovely Brendon (the King of Bacon is suitably regal)! I like where you're going with the black armour but I'm wondering if a final satin varnish might give them more of a sheen as the Panzer Grey seems a bit flat. If you look at black armour from the period it has a reflective quality to it. Anyway, just a suggestion. :)

      Agreed! They look too matt and need a little shine but perhaps not gloss. I found them very tricky and was not 100% satisfied at the end.
