My little game with Mharaid has encouraged me to finish of this battalion of Bavarian Infantry which has been sat at the back of the desk for over a year now...
After all that patient waiting they deserve to have their shiny new uniforms...
The Uniforms are... Wargames Foundry... Sky Blue 21B.
The Facings are... Wargames Foundry... Ochre 4B
The Piping is... Citadel... Evil Sunz Scarlet.
The Knapsacks and the Officers Gloves are... Citadel... Pallid Wych Flesh.
The Backpacks are... Citadel... Skrag Brown.
The Greatcoats are... Wargamers Foundry... Slate Grey Shade 32A.
The Rifles are... Citadel... Mournfang Brown.
Everything was given a coat of Aly’s Brown Liquid then highlighted with the original shades...
I am glad I took the time to finish these... I honestly don’t know why I was putting them off for so long...
I may actually get around to painting the other two battalions...
The figures are of course Spencer Smith Classic Range FPW...

The Bases are from Warbases...

The Standard is from the old Flags for the Lads Range... I am not sure if they are available anymore...
I have some more shiny things and Sassanids on the go at the moment... we will see who crosses the finishing post first...
All the best. Aly
Very nice, FPW is made for these casts.

Lovely job. Sadly Flags For the Lads are no more; fortunately I managed to grab the last of them a few years back. Looking at the news from Perry Miniatures about their planned FPW plastic range I am even more pleased that I did.
ReplyDeleteThank you Matt...
DeleteIt’s a shame no one picked up the ‘Flags’ range... it was very comprehensive.
Yes lovely looking toys from Michael...
All the best. Aly
G'Day Aly, Lovely paint job on the figures. I've always liked the light blue Bavarian uniform. I've seen that Perry are working on plastic Franco-Prussian figures. O'Dear another period!! Cheers Greg
