Sunday post #4

Well I started the rebels earlier in the week although not a great deal of progress so far just done the horseflesh and buffcoats.

The three musketeers at the front are two gallant gentlemen and half a colonel command stand the other half is in amongst the riders behind.

Finished royalists ahead of schedule

Painting went far quicker than expected due in no small part to the efficiency of painting a larger number of horse at the same time.

Group shot

First and second cavalry regiments

Third and fourth cavalry regiments

The infantry

Lurking at the back of the group shot are the rebels.

Monday starting post and late Sunday finishing post

First up the finished, two pike heavy infantry battalia and three forlorn hopes.

They were set to be ready yesterday but when I came to varnish the second pike heavy battalia I realised that I hadn't done the ground. So that put varnishing back to this morning.

It did let me undercoat the next batch of figures so all in all things are still on track.

Here they are one standard infantry battalia and four Swedish doctrine cavalry units.

Monday with a week in work ahead

Which of course may slow things down a bit.

Latest batch of figures is prepared and understated. I'm experimenting with a black undercoat for half of these units and may retry the dot and line technique if I can be disciplined enough.
