Figures for What a Cowboy

 

So, I have become interested in the wild west and as a result I have taken out some unpainted and unfinished figures for the game. Most of these figures are Foundry figures, although a few are from old Glory. 

A lot of contrast type paints were used on the unpainted while a lot of touch up was required on the partially painted figures. I do not know when I started painting some of these but I certainly made a lot of mistakes, some really bad washes. As a result all of the partially done figures needed flesh touch ups. 

Some of these even saw some action this past weekend.

Preparation for upcoming Midgard game

 

So, I never thought I would be posting pictures of rulers, but here we are! These are plastic 3d prints for the game Midgard Heroic Battles. They are nifty and easy to paint. I used a flat black Krylon black primer and then dry brushed a craft bronze paint. Then I highlighted them with a Vallejo light gold paint, but thinking that might be it, but I did not like the result. So I used a P3 Gold paint to bring out the scroll work and to paint in the recessed letters. For the 'gems' I used GW paint.

These are fresh off the painting table, once dry I will hit them with a spray varnish, most likely a semi gloss.

Wash applied

Getting started on the new buildings

 

So, with 13 new buildings, lots of scatter terrain and a bridge to paint I figure I better get started. I went for the low hanging fruit first, the mostly stone buildings and the all wood building. First up were the churches.

I used an assortment of craft paints, mostly shades of grey, but some taupe, tan and other muted colours added in.

The stone work was primed rattle can black with a spray dusting of grey. Then some/all of the following paints were over brushed/dry brushed and/or dabbed on to the stone work.

Final post for AHPC XVI

 So, this is it one last big gasp.

This was a big post (540 points), just enough points to pass my 2000 point target. I am quite happy to get this lot done, especially the AQMF tanks that more than double my existing painted tanks.
