I cannot hope to match the quality of painting that you produce so what I get from this technique is good enough for me.<br /><br />The freebies were part of the welcome pack at the door for paying entrants. This cost 10 euros. I expect you came as an exhibitor which cost you nothing.Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-56560688543614712412014-12-16T18:11:13.993+00:002014-12-16T18:11:13.993+00:00Looking good, although I agree, the Hannovarians l...Looking good, although I agree, the Hannovarians look better! One thing that also looks good is to highlight after the Strong Tone, but I can see the reason why to use it with the British (it is hard to get a good coverage with both red and white when used together without lots of coats = time) and this would rather defeat that. I am still looking for fast options when I start my British in earnest, so I will be watching this with a keen interest!<br /><br />BTW… you should have told me about the freebies at Crisis! ;-) Although I already got a pretty good deal from Warlord, so I am not complaining!DHC Wargameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09088231415217189015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-41174613693016992932014-12-16T15:44:17.535+00:002014-12-16T15:44:17.535+00:00The Strong Tone is pretty well black anyway and di...The Strong Tone is pretty well black anyway and diluting it makes it lighter.<br /><br />It will suffice for the time being.<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-28977822411726935472014-12-16T14:24:49.985+00:002014-12-16T14:24:49.985+00:00Not bad at all.

They're fine as they are in my book though.Prufrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659918463589870423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-46577712183255163442014-12-16T11:32:17.243+00:002014-12-16T11:32:17.243+00:00I have as box of Hanoverians on order so we will s...I have as box of Hanoverians on order so we will see soon enough what a whole unit looks like.<br />Jim Duncan Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14114076455087495681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-235143659957048058.post-56975390936995358452014-12-16T02:21:16.796+00:002014-12-16T02:21:16.796+00:00I am not usually a fan of plastics.

I agree that the first batch looked a bit dark, but then with the second batch I think the army painter stuff makes the trousers look dirty/muddy (not inappropriate for figures in the field). Still, they look fine for wargame armies with either method you used. Get a bunch in units and they should do nicely.Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.com
