My take on this aspect of the table top gaming experience. Not an expert just one person trying to do what he can & trying to demonstrate that anyone can do it.

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.

Contrast/Speed/Xpress paint experiment.

 

So they are done. These were mostly painted with contrast/speed/xpress paints. A few more conventional paints were used, the banner poles and the metal weapons were done with regular paints.

The banners came from the old GW ship to ship game Man o War. They were to have been placed on small scale ships but worked fine here.

As I look at the pics I see that I forgot to apply a wash over the fletching on the arrows. Anyways I think the contrast style paints worked out well, and was quick to do. I particularly liked how the faces worked out with so little effort.
