Oh C'mon Lt you've only gone and undercoated them the wrong colour
Black undercoat is best, everyone knows that!
Do you have black/white colourblindness or some other excuse? :o

he was blinded by the sun shining out of the self righteous. Or something like that.

They are a bit pallid, are you going to give them a wash to enhance the detail?

I have to say that I prefer a Halford's Grey primer/undercoat these days, as an All-Black job makes it hard to see the details, never mind actually get paint on them.

Funnily enough my Roman forces have three undercoat techniques - Black Acrylic, Bare metal/black enamel and White Acrylic. Went with the latter this time as they’ll have a off-White tunic (mostly) but also because given I am trying to do 55* figures at once the first couple of flesh coats are being a bit slapdash (and ruining a No. 2 brush!).

They’ll get a magic wash at the end, was tempted to do it at the start as well but see my comments on slapdash flesh

*its now 56 figures as 55 into 8 man groups won’t go. Who knew?

Bloody maths nazis.....

I think it's time we liberated numbers from the patriarchy. If 55 wishes to identify as a product of 8, it should not have to conform with fascist arithmetical norms.

Flesh all done:


As I said, a bit slap dash but I'm on a schedule here. I quite like this little minx with his plume artfully covering one eye:

Good progress

You’re crazy man, that’s to many men at once!
