Here are my final four completed 28mm 17th century figures from Bloody Miniatures.
These
are pikemen who have abandoned their pikes to fight face-to-face with
their opponents, apart from the one on the right who is using a
broken-off pike head. You'll note that I have stuck with my red and blue
colour palette for them. They can definitely play a part in skirmish
games but perhaps also in a large pike and shot unit to break up the
monotony of having all standard pikemen? Anyway, they are nice figures
and I'm pleased with them.
Once again, I'm using a Jon Hodgson backdrop.
I've
currently got some mounted troops ready to photograph, so I'll post
them as soon as I can be bothered to set up the lightbox.
Bloody Miniatures are excellent. Looking good.
ReplyDeleteHow did you do the armour on the one chap?
The armour was undercoated in black and then given a coat of gunmetal and drybrushed with natural steel. Then the whole figure was washed with W&N peat brown drawing ink.
DeleteTa. Looks good. I've tried a much darker look and it's maybe too dark. Might give this a go.
