Dreadball team...
No name for them yet, just a sample colour scheme. The plan is to paint the team uber quickly; they're fine miniatures, but I don't want to spend lots of time on them which I think is necessary to make the figures look really good. Black half has a bit of blue/white mixed with black for highlighting, followed by a gloss varnish. Red half is GW Mechrite Red base built up with Coat d'Arms Ruby Red then then washed with Tamiya Clear Red (which is lovely, incidentally, for gore). The clear plastic hexes look a bit poo with a painted figure in them, so I cut off the base, flipped the hex over, and fixed the figure in place with two small pins from the feet.
A blog for painting historical wargaming miniatures. Periods covered include the chariot era, classical world, medieval period (Clash of Empires), colonial Africa (specifically Sudan), Old West and World War 2 (Rules of Engagement). As all gamers know, painted soldiers perform better on the tabletop than unpainted ones. It's just a scientific fact. The dice gods respect painted armies and frown upon heretical, lazy or impatient players that don't treat their armies with love and care.
