Not much you can do with just four figures except paint them. It's been a while since I've painted Napoleonic's although these figures had been prepped for a long time. I'm pretty sure they were spares that Dave was giving away and my inner Yorkshireman couldn't resist free figures. The brand appears to be Battle Honours, but I could be wrong. One reason I had been slow to paint them was in finding a blue I was happy with. I used Jo Sonja's Cobalt Blue with a black wash that toned it down delightfully. I photographed them indoors late in the day and ended up with too many photos, but I like the various effects that occurred as I fiddled around with my camera (phone) settings.
Wobbly swords and a chest belt that was a bugger to paint.
What is happening?
In order to provide flexibility, I based them in pairs,
rather than one 2x2 base.
At this stage I decide my camera lens was smudged.
But it does give them a nice dusk vibe.
Wow! Full flash!
Much better with the other flash setting.
Most importantly I am very pleased and relieved at how they have turned out.
