Thank you again gents. I wont bother with metal spears, too much faff. I didnt think I'd have any problems as the plastic seems quite springy just like the Warlord Spanish succession plastic. I never lost a musket or bayonet with them.
Now if only I can find a tutorial for painting chainmail.

Silver, with a black wash is the quickest way. Use as many coats of wash as you need to get the darkness you want...(drying the coats in between)MarshalNey wrote: ↑Wed Feb 07, 2024 6:43 pm Now if only I can find a tutorial for painting chainmail.
You can also tint the mail a little in this way so if you want a blue steel look mix some blue wash into your black.

primed them black as I always do and then drybrushed with Vallejo Natural Steel 70864. Easy to paint and I think they look better than the unarmoured Romans. Fecked up on the shields, I didnt take enough care cutting out the transfer.

Excellent, I might have to push the games setting back to the just Post Roman period and get my old villa out to "dirty up" a bit!
