Whilst at the Warfare show in 2014 I bought a few packets of
Peter Pig War of the Roses 15mm figures to expand my armies available for use
with the Bloody Barons rules. Since the beginning of January I have focussed on
getting these painted and based. The results are shown below:
For this scale if figure I like to undercoat with black
primer and then use a single colour paint scheme. I find that multiple tones
and shading etc. to be excessive at this scale, and I only dry-brush larger
pieces of equipment. This means that I am able to paint a decent number of
figures in a relatively short timescale (at least by my standards), i.e. almost
100 15mm figures in just under 3 weeks. The basing is not particularly
inspired, but these figures need to conform with my existing armies. The main
problem I tend to face when painting figures is when they are destined to fit
in with older armies – Can I get them to match? What colours did I use way back
then? Do I paint them to a standard which is below my current norm to do this,
or do I just paint them to a higher standard and accept that they may stick out
like a sore thumb?
Finally, I plan to keep a painting log for the year to help
gauge both my efforts and purchases. Also I hope to buy a better camera in the
near future because my current one is rubbish when taking close up shots!
