The Loose Association of Wargamers

I'm in agreement as well -- that last unit is particularly good, even by your consistently high standards of quality.

They are really good - but just think. Had you actually used a Kanban you might have been able to achieve immortality

With those long tunics, you can't see the kanbans.

Rather nice.

lovely stuff

Wot they said

Stunning

Rather more spiffing than the ones you've got up for sale (and those ones ain't bad); nice muted colour selection - what paints do you use?

I agree. I think it shows progress of sorts. One key shift is from always using black lining, especially inside blocks of colour, to using a darker base colour which makes the colours blend a bit more.

Something I've also started to do in the last few years. See below & https://blog.vexillia.me.uk/2019/10/pai ... any-2.html for more.

• The flesh is Miniatures Paints (tanned & pale) on a base of Plaka Red Brown.
• The dark brown, black, greys, cream & taupe base colours are craft paints.
• The silver is a craft paint neat or mixed with different amounts of black to give many shades.
• The gold/bronze is Vallejo Game Colour.
• The rest are Vallejo Model Colour.

Two other tips:

• Lots of the highlights are Vallejo plus Miniature Paints Pale Flesh or craft paint Cream.
• Many colours are matted with talc (tiny amounts in the palette) to aid the final coat of varnish.
