Greetings…
Here is the first unit for my De La Pole retinue…
Dismounted Men at Arms/Elite Infantry…
The Armour is… AK Interactive… 11210 Natural Steel. With a diluted Contrast Black Templar wash.
The Hose are… Foundry… Drab12C.
The Shoes are… Citadel… Mournfang Brown.
The Scabbards are… Citadel… Doombull Brown.
The Belts are… Citadel… Deathclaw Brown.
The Blue bits are… Citadel… Teclis Blue.
The Yellow bits are… AK Interactive… 11118 Ochre.
The Weapon Shafts are… Foundry… Spearshaft Brown Light 29C.
As always everything was given a wash of Alys Brown Liquid and re-highlighted with the original colours.
Once the figures were matte varnished the Armour was given a coat of satin acrylic varnish to put a bit of a shine on it… The various leather goods were also gloss varnished.
Nice effects from the washes Aly. The flag sets them off nicely!

Now - those are "Shiney" figures that I can fully appreciate, Aly - great work on the plate armour!
ReplyDeleteThank you Keith…
DeleteI actually forgot to mention that the armour is actually ‘shiny’…
Well … satin…
I have updated the post to include that step.
All the best. Aly
Beautiful rendition of what is basically a 'plain' figure!

Ooh...err...lovely work Aly...I've been cursing you all morning...I can feel an expansion of my WotR coming on!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mark…
DeleteIt makes a pleasant change… Me throwing temptation in your direction 😁
Go on… You know you want to…
All the best. Aly
Excellent work, really like how you shared your resources for the project. The basing and standard are topnotch and add to the overall look.
ReplyDeleteThank you…
DeleteI have always appreciated knowing what colours and paints have been used on a model…
I remember that you nearly always got a list of colours in the Airfix Magazine and Military Modelling painting articles… This of course meant that I knew which ones to tell my parents that I really really needed.
I am always glad to pass this basic and hopefully useful information on.
All the best. Aly
Shiny! The armour looks great.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stuart.

brilliant idea to dilute Black Templar for a wash - a very versatile paint, now more-so!
ReplyDeleteThank you Norm…
DeleteI agree Black Templar is certainly one of the most useful of the Contrast Paints…
All the best. Aly
Aly, we should have a Billhooks battle next year at the weekender.
ReplyDeleteI’ve yet to play Billhooks Robbie…
DeleteSo that could be quite entertaining.
All the best. Aly
Lovely work no doubt Aly!

Nice! I have just mixed my first batch of Alys Brown Liquid and If i can just get away from the demented Christmas obsessed wife I might get to use it!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you Phil..
DeleteI hope you like the results…
You can of course vary the recipe…If you have a figure that is mostly blues and greys… and even a lot of armour…you could add a bit more blue to the mix.
And if your figure is mostly reds ,yellows and browns add a bit more Sepia.
All the best. Aly
Very polished brush work there Aly!
ReplyDeleteThank you David…
DeleteI’ve taken quite a shine to them.
All the best. Aly
