How Far Jerusalem 8

Finally finished these three stands of skirmishing archers and crossbowmen for the Late Crusaders in ADLG and DBA. 



The figures are all from the now out of production Gladiator Games that make the bulk of this army and my Wars of the Roses collection too. 


The crossbowmen are part of a military order hence the more uniformed colouring on the tabards, however as they are skirmishers it's not full flying colours. 

Cheers for now.

Back to the Brushes 417

Back in May 2025 dug out some Foundry Spartans to start adding to the existing painted collection. 

In between painting three colour NATO camouflage patterns have tidied up the figures started last year and added in a few more. 

Sadly, the last of the mecrite red foundation paint has gone so the base for the red will be ever so slightly different. On that subject, the triad for the flesh is also different as shown on the original post. 

At this point undecided whether to use these figures as a new unit or fillers for existing units. Time will tell. 

Cheers for now.

Back to the Brushes 416

Moving on with the Bundeswehr for Team Yankee, this time with a zug of Gepards to keep the skies clear.

The process for the camo painting is now nailed down and is speeding up the overall painting time. After the base coat of refractive green working it's down to one colour on each vehicle before moving on to the next. Keeping this in line is helping, that along with a tidier work space.


Jaguars and more Leopards in the future too. 

Cheers for now.

Back to the Brushes 415

Last stages on this zug of M109 self propelled artillery with M113 Obs for the Bundeswehr forces currently on the painting table. Pick out the tools and stowed equipment then final matt varnishing.

There are Gepards, Leopard 2A5s and Marders are in different stages of camo painting along with Panzer Grenadiers. Lots to be getting on with. 

Cheers for now.
