Greyscale... this is something I've never done before. I think I first became aware of the concept from an article in Wargames Illustrated, years ago. It was a convention report from Crisis I think, that included pics of an amazing 28mm "Nosferatu" game, with the models and terrain all done in greyscale. It looked amazing, but didn't really appeal to me for "everyday" painting or gaming - owing mainly to the need to use specific greyscale terrain as well!
Of course, many dedicated hobbyists paint entire projects in greyscale, including our own host Mr. Curt! So I decided to give it a try for the Chambers of Darkness room on level 1 of the Dungeon.
This, of course, is a "26mm" Dave Andrews sculpt from the old Foundry Great War range - "GW44 Sergeant pointing" to be exact. He painted up very quickly indeed but I have to say he hasn't instilled any burning desire in me to paint more greyscale models... however I will happily donate him as a Challenge prize to anyone who achieves their points goal and wants him. I figure there must be some of you out there who have greyscale Great War armies and maybe someone can use him :-)

Dallas has now updated this to be his Curtgeld entry as well, so that's 20 more points for him.
Greyscale...it is a mystery to me, but it is super cool when other people do it. Kind of like any Naval gaming :)
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Great work on the greyscale Dallas. I can think of a couple of WW1 greyscale projects....
ReplyDeleteExcellent looking great war greyscale sergeant!

Great work Dal - nice to see you expanding your horizons. :) I especially like the lozenge/splinter camo pattern on his helmet. Well done!
ReplyDeleteNicely done Dallas, adding cammo to the helmet was inspired.
ReplyDeletenice job
ReplyDeleteNice work - I daren't attempt anything like this!
ReplyDeleteGreat work Dallas. I know you say you don't like grey scale, but you did a bang up job on him. You really should do some more....
ReplyDeleteExcellent looking figure Dallas!
ReplyDeleteOh, I quite like your fella here! The camo scheme on his helmet came out surprisingly recognisable if I may say so. Hadn't expected to be so easily translatable.
ReplyDeleteWell done figure, Dallas. I particularly like the camo scheme.
ReplyDeleteLovely work on the greyscale. Well done.
ReplyDeleteThe helmet is great!
ReplyDeleteThats a lovely take on greyscale 👍
