ALY MORRISON'S "BUTTERFLY" ADVENTURES IN THE WORLD OF WARGAMES AND TOY SOLDIERS

Thursday 23 March 2023

15mm Carolingians… Lombard Heavy Cavalry.

Greetings…

This month continues without much hobby progress…

And to add to the building work disruption I have caught the latest office cold/cough… This one is a right sod, I haven’t had a good nights sleep this week, it’s been bad enough for me to actually take sick leave for the first time since I had Covid.🤧

So… Here are my 15mm Lombard Heavy Cavalry…




Just like the Carolingian Guard Cavalry these were a real joy to paint…Nicely sculpted with clean lines and well defined detail… perfect for my style of painting.
I must admit that I am tempted to move this project further up the mountain towards the front/top of painting queue.

The Horses are painted… Citadel… Mournfang Brown…Then give a washes with various Contrast Colours Browns.

The Leather Bits are… Citadel… Deathclaw Brown.

The Blue Bits are… Citadel… Caledor Sky and Teclis Blue.

The Yellow Bits are… Foundry… Ochre 4B.

The Green Bits are… Citadel… Loren Green.

The Leggings are… Citadel… Administratum Grey.

The Spears are… Foundry… Spearshaft Light 13C.

As always everything was given a coat of Aly’s Brown Liquid and then highlighted with the original colours.

The figures are from Forged in Battle.

The paints are Wargames Foundry and Citadel...

The bases are as always…

All the best.  Aly

15mm Carolingians…. Guard Cavalry.

Greetings…

February was a bit of a quiet month for me…

The building work in my house has kept toys in boxes and not on the painting desk…

It progresses steadily and dustily…

So….

I thought I would show something I painted earlier… After I painted the test figures for this project I got around to painting a full unit of the Carolingians and the Lombards…

Here are the Carolingians….




My intention was to wait until I had a good run at this project before showing anything but I fear that the disruption with be continuing for a while yet…so consider this as a preview.

The Horses are painted… Citadel… Mournfang Brown…Then give a washes with various Contrast Colours Browns.

The Leather Bits are… Citadel… Deathclaw Brown.

The Red Bits are… Citadel… Evil Sunz Scarlet and Mephiston Red.

The Yellow Bits are… Foundry… Ochre 4B.

The Boots are… Citadel… Doombull Brown.

The Spears are… Foundry… Spearshaft Light 13C.

As always everything was given a coat of Aly’s Brown Liquid and then highlighted with the original colours.

The figures are from Forged in Battle.
