Warlord Games Waterloo British Line Infantry - WIP
Started on these the other day; almost finished. Just some highlighting and a few other things left to do. Wanted to paint these up as a unit of KGL Line for the La Haye Sainte game.
As with the French Infantry set, these are really quick to build - just heads and backpacks. I'm not using the Minwax stain method as they seem to paint up nicely with a black undercoat.
Speaking of the La Haye Sainte project - seems I may be diving into this sooner than later. I was holding off on this game until wrapping up the Franco-Prussian War Bolt Action game I was to host next month at our big annual convention, Enfilade. However, with the current "hang fire" order in our area (as elsewhere), the convention was cancelled. Now I can concentrate on Black Powder and not confuse myself with Bolt Action rules. Until next time, wishing you all the best of health and safety!

Excellent work Dean!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Michal. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteNot sleet, rain, or... the plague, can keep Dean the lean mean painting machine from painting so many tiny soldiers.
ReplyDeleteHow is the arm and neck holding up?
Thank you very much for your kind words, Kevin. Left shoulder blade still acting up, but my wife made me a bag of corn kernels which is like heating pad. I microwave it for a couple minutes and place it on my neck and shoulder areas. Helps a lot. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteSounds like your Wife is an excellent nurse. Take care:)
DeleteSplendid additions to your armies Dean, they look great!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly, Phil! Warmest regards, Dean
Deletevery nice and I was particularly interested in these, as my own last batch of figures, I felt suffered from too much wash and had to be heavily rescued with highlights. Using black undercoat is so effective, but needs a careful eye.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Norm. Due to the simplified poses, certain areas like the back of some left arms can seem too wide. Leaving some of these areas black helps with the overall finished look. In the en8,they look great ranked up, IMO. Warmest regards, Dean
DeleteGreat job Dean these are coming together nicely.
ReplyDeleteCheers

DeleteVery nice work on these Dean - I have several units of the Portuguese version - the same five basic marching poses - but my plastic Brits are all Perry
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, Keith. I have some Perry and Victrix British, and like them a lot too. I wanted to add a new set of plastics to the mix, for varieties sake, if anything else. Warmest regards, Dean
