Here's a pair of ordinary shieldwall unit, Black Tree and Foundry, individually based on 1p pieces in a 120mm sabot base. Shields done as before with pen details, Halfords khaki sprayed as primer and an agrax wash. Useful if not terribly exiting units, Foundry leader and Black Tree rank and file, I'm happier with the shields, might be getting the hang of this, which is good as these are the last infantry shieldwall units! These have been completed as part of Dave Stones paint what you have challenge.
Could probably have done some more on these but I figure they're good enough, I've got some archers to do then onto the cavalry.
Still the ever present Napoleonics and terrain lurking around but there could be something else!
All the best

Good job on the shields - I have some pens, but they will likely dry out before I get competent enough to use them!
ReplyDeleteI think its just having a go territory, worth a try on hussars and the like?

Well they look fine to me and once one the table and in action, I doubt you will be thinking of the need to add some highlights or details here and there. Of course you can always do this at your leisure in the future if you so wish!
ReplyDeleteI think theyre good enough, too many figures to paibt to go back to them!
