From PaulSS: Barons' War foot troops - 100pts


 Another productive week on the Barons' War collection with 20 new foot soldiers painted.

The first trio is a Knight and a pair of Serjeants.


The Knight is an example of using a simple VVV shield decal as part of the basecoat and then adding a couple of highlights at a later stage.


A trio of three more foot Serjeants.

It's a petty good shot of the arrow through the shield, these spare arrows from the Peasants set are really useful for this.


I always seem to be needing more crossbowmen so another seven were added.



There is only one loose quiver per sprue so I did some creative solutions with the "hand on quiver" arms, trimming off the hand and arm and either leaving an empty quiver, or covering with a bedroll.


These two archers will slot into existing units.



The last group is five more spearmen to add to existing units



Twenty more 28mm figures will add another 100pts to my total. 

From DaveD . More study in browns from Paul. Though some extra colour about as well. You are consistently knocking these out and the group shot will be epic . 100 it is .

  2. The Fireforge sets have loose quivers on a lot of their sprues, so may be a good option if you need more and can pick some up cheap.
    Great work on these figures, your painting style really suits them.

  5. Really nice work. I’m enjoying this project and want to see a shot of it all en masse at some point.

  6. Great work; I get worried that I'd knock off arrows through shields.

  8. The tone of these figures is excellent-not garish at all, would be nice to read about your favourite brown techniques in the next post?

    1. Thank you. They are all Vallejo colours, mainly working up from Flat Brown, Flat Earth, Green Ochre, Tan Earth adding sucessive layers with increasing amounts of Pale Sane, Iraqi Sand or Dark Sand.
