I finally finished the last eight speed painted Late Roman Archers to go with the first Legionary unit of my LR army! I say finally as they really do seem to have taken forever due to varnishing issues and the weather (I do a Humbrol Enamel Gloss coat before matting down so it can take time and is weather and humidity dependent).
These eight fellows were originally going to be painted a few years ago, prior to the Vanishing Disaster Incident, which put me off painting the army completely. Until this year.
As the Archers are integral to the whole unit of Legionaries I've included a piccie or two of the lot to give you guys and gals an idea of how the miniatures work together.






Luvely minis and they so work with the heavy infantry

DeleteNicely painted - colour has an earthy look - just right
ReplyDeleteThank you Norbar. I'm really glad you noticed the colours having an earthy look. I often lighten colours with a mix of a light grey (a *colour wheel grey* as opposed to the colour grey). If I'm feeling very lazy I'll use an VMC Off White (a real treasure) mixed with a VMC mid grey. :)
DeleteVery nice job on these. Weather has indeed been terrible for outdoor spraying. It must be so we can have a nice summer?
ReplyDeletelol Thank you Adam, and it better be so! lol
DeleteThey look great Darrol!
