Stuff I've been painting recently

It's been a while since the last post, so here is a few photos of stuff I've been painting - imagine that, painting wargame figures for Force on Force, WW2, FoG Renaissance and others getting in the way of updating my website! To be fair the FoGR Wiki has also had a bit of input recently, but this is much more significant

20mm Falklands-era Brits from (I think?) S&S, to add to my Matchbox plastic Brits

I'm very happy about how the faces have come out using an ink wash on these boys

28mm Swiss/Landsnecht Halberdiers and swordsmen, as the first base of a 4-wide Swiss/Landsnecht Kiel to turn my 28mm Plastics into a Hugenot or similar army. Picked up from various Bring and Buy stalls, with a few Foundry figures bought in packets too. I think the whole lot will look pretty neat, I just need to get the mix of colours (and whether the white is in the slashes in their clothing, or on top) all sorted. These were finished with Army Painter Dark Tone

It looks really good on the flesh colour on their legs, giving a mix of "dirt" and shading

15mm Old Glory Ottoman Janissaries, with Crossbows and muskets/arquebus. Far more animated than the Essex ones' everyone seems to have, and the first part of an Ottoman amy which will recycle my FoGAM Arab cavalry.

The same chaps, but slightly further away. They look uniform, but they aren't - a real mad bunch

Essex Ottoman artillery pieces with Donnington crew (and officers)

An ornate ECW cannon from Roundway Miniatures, with Donnington Ottoman crew

Old Glory Polish Foote marching with axes and muskets. These might turn out as Russians too methinks. A very quick paintjob drybrushing over a black undercoat

Old Glory Polish Pancerni command (lots of drummers in that pack!) with some carbine-armed horse

The same chaps. Flag downloaded from Nigel Billington's site - this one is also on Alex Flags and is therefore maybe a bit too early but looks good to me!

...and from the side,and slightly blurred...

Polish Pancerni commander base. The General has the horses head decoration in front of his face in this shot, he's not wearing some bizzarre mask

More officer types. This flag is also from Nigel Billington

From the rear the level of detail on the flag is obvious

Spanish Later Tercio, from Old Glory. These come with open hands to add your own pikes.

Square on...

TYW German Foote from Old Glory, done simply and then Army Painter Dark Tone'ed. I also did th ecuffs again (in white) after the wash had finished, to bring them out and brighten the unit up a touch more. A good rag-tag bunch of hooligans !
