One of my
goals for the challenge was to paint up the Late Roman figures I have
in my lead pile. As the end of the challenge grows closer I'm slowly
running out of time for this. So here are two heavy cavalry and two
archers from Musketeer Miniatures.
I really
like the figures Bill is making. They're full of character and require
little in the way of cleaning. Sometimes the detail on the tunics and
trousers is a bit flat but they still are a treat to paint.
I decided
to go for another colour scheme as for my other Romans as they look a
bit too elite to me nowadays in their greyish blue tunics. Most of the
older figures are also missing the patterns I painted on these guys
here.
As I
occupied myself with the late Roman army for over a year now I came to
the conclusion they need these patterns to look right. So maybe I have
to go back to my older figures somewhen.
Till then I still have six archers and three infantry men left in the queue which I'm hoping to finish in time.
So thanks for viewing and hope you enjoyed!
These look great! Especially the freehand patterns on the archers
