After spending a couple of hours a day over two or three days, the first unit is now complete. This is the test scheme for the Samurai elements of the army and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out considering my eyes are not what they used to be.
Paints Used:
- Hand prime with Chaos Black
- Drybrush a light grey mix of Chaos Black and SKull White (or use Elf Grey) to pick out the details.
- Armour painted in Blood Red
- Bows, Spear staffs, belts painted Snakebite Leather
- Skin painted in Dwarf Flesh
- Tunics, Trousers and Helmet scarf painted in a mix of Enchanted Blue and Skull White
- Weapons and arrow tips painted in Mithril Silver
- Boots and arrows painted in Matt Black
- Arrow fletches painted in Woodland Green
To fix the models to the bases I applied Vallejo Thick Mud and then simply pressed the models into it. A quick smudge around the base edges and they were hidden. Once dried, flock was glued down and the bases edged with Chaos Black.
I'm pleased with how these came out and while not the best painted models I've ever done, considering their scale and my really bad eyesight, they've come out okay. Once massed with a full army these will look pretty impressive and I'm keen to get on with the next unit. This will be an Ashigaru unit to get their test scheme sorted.
