I recently received another order from Front Rank to complete the foot troops of the Wars of the Roses project. So far, my painting and ordering schedule has worked well. For this project at least, I have begun painting as soon as an order arrives and also immediately order another batch. This way, there are always figures on the way while I'm beavering away at the current stock. One may question why I don't just order it all up front and take advantage of Front Rank discounts but there are a few legitimate reasons: first, I have a monthly hobby budget to which I try to adhere (with varying levels of success); second, Front Rank has had a limit on sizes of orders during the current apocalypse; and third, a mountain of unpainted figures can be a daunting sight. Much better for my hobby mental health to go about it in smaller increments.
So, on to the latest additions (and these complete the current plans for foot troops... I have ordered a Xmas present for myself, composed of mounted Knights and light horse).
Absolutely brilliant!

DeleteVery nicely done. Are you using a Satin varnish to maintain vibrancy? I have been using mat, but am finding that for WotR it seems to take that splendour away.
ReplyDeleteNorm, I use Army Painter matt spray followed by a couple coats of Winsor & Newton Professional matt spray.
DeleteAwesome! beautiful colors and details, great job!

DeleteSound approach to both raising and outfitting your troops.
