From JP - More 28mm Pathans (50 Points)

As I slowly chew through my collection, I now have 100+ foot Pathans painted and maybe 80 to go...

These are Foundry again, I just can't get enough of these.









And the next 5:




And I'll try for a close up:


I go for a very campaign look. All colours are a bit washed out and dirty, I use a lot of greys, browns, faded blues with a few exceptions and some highlights on turbans and sashes. 

Points:

10 x 28mm        = 50 points

Maybe a break into fantasy or my Early Germanics next... who knows?

UPDATE - Apologies JP - I forgot to add my comments - not that they are all that valuable, or valuable at all, but still - bad form on my part!

Great work on these warriors - your "campaign look" is spot on, and know that I will be trying to copy some of this look when it comes time to paint the next batch of tribal warriors in my own project for this setting. In particular, I would love to hear more about how you approach painting the skin tones for the Pathans - maybe you can share next time?

And as my friend Dallas has some "Early Germanics" under way himself, if you would be great to see more of those too! 

50 points, well done!

    1. Most kind. I am a huge believer in field worn colours, even with fantasy.

    1. Thanks! I have moved over the years to large scale skirmishes from the large armies I cut my teeth on.

  7. Really nice painting. I'm also a fan of it metal over the plastic minis when I can get them!

    1. It's all just different. I enjoy assembling the plastics, but miss the heft and style of metals. So, I prefer metals.
