Back to the Brushes 401
Been playing with colour the other night, going back to mixing some tones from the base colour and layering from there.
The base colour is from Vallejo Games colours Scurvy Green and the subsequent tones are mixed from this blended with Army Painter Skeleton Bone.
A couple of casualty markers for the Undead hordes in Kings of War. These have been built from a triple 10mm dice cell, a 60 x 20mm base and some spare parts from the skeleton warriors sprues. The MDF parts are all from Warbases.
Cheers for now.

Reconquista 10
Time has moved quickly this month and there are a few things in the sidelines that have or will be completed for the AHPC XV.
When starting a new project, regardless of scale I like to put a few stands up that will enable me to complete a core unit or two in the early stages of painting that project. Light infantry and skirmishers are often good in that role and will feature in most versions of the finished project when used.
Here is the first of several skirmisher units for the recently started Tafia Kingdoms army in ADLG.
The Gripping Beast figures whilst old are still some of my favourite models for this period and the newer sculpts add a lot of flavour to the period.
A few more finished items to follow shortly.
Cheers for now

Back to the Brushes 400
Over the last few weeks have been working on a few different projects. To say that there has been little progress would be an understatement, so, a little change of direction was called for.
There is a steady stream of chat at work relating to Kings of War and the original plan was to paint Dwarves for this however, the figures that are available are mostly retro Citadel figures from a time when character figures made up the range. These are your friend if you're trying to create a new army for a new game.
Enter the skeletons...
A stalled project that will enable a quick turn around on several based units; skeleton warriors and archers. Some are already finished, some have been partial painted a couple of years back and some are in the process of being painted now. The figures are from the Oathmark range.
Kings of War offers a basing option that is similar to Impetus in that the figures are multi based to suit. The basic infantry base is a troop sized at 100 x 40mm and this is doubled for a regiment.
In the immortal words of Blue Peter, here's one I made earlier from the previously painted figures. Base from Warbases and there are also movement trays to fit as well.
More on these shortly.
Cheers for now.

How Far Jerusalem 7
The latest addition to the Late Crusader army for ADLG include three stands of the Knights of Jerusalem as shown below.
These are the first figures in 2025 and hopefully there will be more to follow. They have been included in the AHPC XV.
Cheers for now.
