Another Year Over?

Well nearly. Although I now only do commission work for existing customers they are keeping me rather busy, well into the New Year at least.
Consequencely painting this month is and will be rather slow, the only unit likely to muster out from under the brush is the second French battalion for the Peninsular project.
All Perry metal figures on bases from Warbases naturally, flag from GMB painted almost entirely with GW Contrast paints. It is back to the Triple Alliance and 1940 projects with what remains of the month.
The last game here at OHQ will be a First Carlist War game using Soldiers of Napoleon to see if they work for the period and to help us further our understanding of how the rules work. 
Until next time...........

    Lovely work Phil, never got round to trying contrast paints but they seem to work for a lot of people. Are you sticking with metals for the project ?

      Thank you Matt. It will be a mixture but mostly metals, for the infantry and artillery at least.

      Thank you Norm. I did line in places not with black though I used Cygor Brown Contrast paint.

      Very interesting to see contrast used for lining so effectively. I have been using contrast thinned on some flesh to act as a wash.

      Thank you Jonathan. I will still be painting but mainly on commission work so I doubt I will finish any of my own units off.

    The French are magnifique! The FCW game was really close until the end but certainly a good endorsement for SofN. We will return to Robinson in the Valley next week in GHQ .

      Thank you kindly. A close game indeed I shall edit the photos and post the low down on events tomorrow. Look forward to the valley bash, whistling Dixie already (or is that not allowed now?)

      Thank you Christopher. As one gets older they seem pass by at an alarming rate.
