Back to the Brushes 252

Christmas has come and gone, a decade ended and a New Year started alongside a new decade. However, all of this was missed here as I was laid low by the dread man flu.

The last two nights have seen the first real painting for this year's Analogue Hobbies Painting Challenge X and as you can see below there are some different things on the go already.

First up, DAK in 20mm from SHQ. These are being block painted then washed with either soft or strong tone ink from Army Painter.


Picked these up at Carronade a long time ago now for next to nothing.

Next, Perry Ashigaru for Lion Rampant in 28mm. Detailed figures that so far have been a pleasure to paint. The test figure on the far right is further along is a good guide to how the finished unit will look. The Samurai for this warband will be in a brighter red to show them off on the table. The inspiration for these came from the charge Li Naomasa's Red Devils at the Battle of Sekigahara.


Next is the beginnings of a 15mm War of the Roses army for both DBA and ADLG. The army will be Lancasterian and at this stage very little is known about this period other than the names of a few battles.


Last up are some Romans from Foundry and Gripping Beast. The Foundry are all Late Romans for command stands. The Gripping Beast include Caesarian Romans, Late Romans and four Romano Brits.


Cheers for now

Nice start to the challenge, simple one the Dak, the perry Samurai will be another matter, they have lots of detail.

Missed out on my entry into the challenge this year as still renovating. All the best with projects and goals in 2020.

Cheers
Matt

Being too sick to paint is he worst! You have a lot of nice stuff on your workbench at present.
