Warlord Games Pike & Shotte Foot - WIP

Just a quick update on a couple more units of pike and shotte. Used rattle can spray paint to base coat them and speed up the process. Just finished staining the block painted figures with Minwax Tudor Satin. Highlights will be added after they're dried and matte coated. The red guys will be King's Lifeguard and the gray ones Scots Covenanters. 

Block painted below.
Base coated with spray paint. 
Need to paint up the commands too. Again, just a quick update to let you know what I'm working on at the moment. Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all the best.

    They are looking great Dean. I can see the attraction of the spray can for undercoating!
    Regards, James

    Very impressive! Much faster than black primering first.

      Thanks, Jonathan. This process works great for this period, IMO. Probably wouldn't work as well for Napoleonics with more details on the clothing. Warmest regards, Dean

    More lovely work here Dene - plenty of people would be happy with the result in your first image, without doing any further highlighting etc. A great painting technique!

      Thanks for the kind words, Keith. I plan to mostly concentrate highlighting figures in the front ranks. Again, to save time. Warm regards, Dean

      Thanks, Iain. I rely on the staining process a lot. It really defines the areas needing highlights and such. Best regards, Dean
