Magnificent miniatures from the Perry brothers, which will be included in my Venetian army for the Condottieri period.
Easy to paint: I did base layers, then filled in places and lightened. The colors a little dull, but the army will be just that - the tired fighters who fought not one battle.
Wow! Our first paint bomb and we're just in the first day - Terrific stuff. Hmm, PeterD and I are dueling to see who can paint the most Renaissance period models and I think we're going to have to pick up our socks!
Great work Alex, and incredibly fast production as well. The muted grey tones you've used here reminds me of some of the scenes from 'The Lord of the Rings'. I also like how you've posed the figures to show them as world-weary campaigners. Well done.
20 figures will give you 100 points - great job!
Excellent. With stripy trousers as well! The world needs more stripy trousers.
ReplyDeleteVery impressive start alex! Great job!
ReplyDeleteBlimey!!! Well done Alex, cracking start to the show!

ReplyDeleteBlooming heck!?! What an impressive start Alex, and a formidable-looking force :-)
ReplyDeleteWow - right off the mark too! Nicely done Alex
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I love the positioning.
ReplyDeleteHoly cow, what a great first entry. Absolutely impressive!
ReplyDeleteHalf my proposed total in one hit. Alex, it's painters like you who make painters like me realise how slowly we paint!
ReplyDeleteHow on earth did you manage to paint and base those so quickly?
ReplyDeleteWell done on your first entry Alex :)
Gorgeous work!
ReplyDeleteWhat a super unit of weary warriors.
ReplyDeleteGreat (and fast!) painting work. I like a lot those muted colours.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking guys. Good start
ReplyDeleteHow the heck did you manage that in one day? That is impressive stuff, congratulations on taking the first day lead.
ReplyDeleteExcellent work - 20 figures in such a short time - I tip my hat to your Sir!
ReplyDeleteNice work Alex!
ReplyDeleteCrikey, that's a strong start!
ReplyDeleteWow that's an incredibly quick turnaround!
ReplyDeleteThat's quick off the mark indeed Alex. I am a week away from picking up a paintbrush. Well done!
ReplyDeleteCheers, PD
That was quick indeed. They look really good. Great work on these top notch miniatures. I am a big fan of drab and gloomy as opposed to super bright and happy. cheers
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your feedback.
ReplyDeleteIn order to paint quickly, I use three simple principles:
1. The simplest techniques of painting miniatures
2. Hot radiator for fast drying (base,Tamsin, base:))
3. To communicate with good people who are also passionate about this hobby - you all :)
My word they are impressive!
ReplyDeleteI really like the tired as hell look of these, lovely work
ReplyDeleteian
Great set to kick things off with mate.. looking forward to seeing more of these from you in the coming months! Will look great as a full force..
ReplyDeleteWow. Very nicely done. I think we all got a wake up call with this entry.
ReplyDeleteI really like the dirty colors and how weary you built them, the poor lads look like they have been marching a little bit long!
ReplyDeleteFine looking troops I would hesitate to charge them.
ReplyDeleteThose are rather fine Alex! The striped leggings are superb mate.
ReplyDeleteThe posing is really what does it for me. They look so weary and worn-down. Amazing points bomb right out the gate!
ReplyDeletethank you all very much. yuor opinion is very important to me
