June Painting update

Finally I get myself back to some work on my miniatures collection with my Flintloque Todoroni and Joccians. These have been waiting around a bit as I have been busy or not feeling like getting on and painting figures.

Todoroni command with Vallejo gold added - not my favourite metallic paint and not as good as their gunmetal, but I'll try adding a wash and then a dry brush on top to see how it looks.

Painting update 5 May

More work on my Flintloque collection - Todoroni and Joccian Highlanders.

Todroni noble (jacket in Vallejo 959 Purple, trousers in 957 Flat Red) and Todoroni officer, singer and standard bearer. With the areas of these to be in black (shoes, bicornes and gaiters) 'm experimenting with using dark brown or grey and then using a black wash over to see if that produces the effect that I want. These still need the black applied over the Vallejo 822 Camouflage Black Brown and 995 German Grey.

The muskets have now been painted on the troopers with 875 Beige Brown for the woodwork and 863 Gunmetal over black for metal areas. 

Joccians - private, officer, drummer and standard bearer - I've used 984 Flat Brown for their fur with 957 Flat Red for the uniforms. There are another two privates that aren't included in this shot. 

Orcs with the leader's sash painted in Flat Red with an Oxford Blue shirt and the back banner painted. 

All nearing completion and time for varnishing and basing.

My latest wargames project

Flintloque - fantasy napoleonic skirmish level gaming

The picture shows some of my first set of figures for these rules - Nepolise Todoroni. I've started painting these up in white uniforms, with the initial base coat as grey then a paler grey shade above and a white highlight as shown in the following pictures.

The paints used so far are Citadel Foundation Kharlog Green for the skin, Iyaden Darksun for the eyes and Vallejo 992 Neutral Grey as the base for the white clothing. The final appearance will have white uniforms with black bicornes, boots, leggings and equipment and white webbing. The facings will be in amaranth to add a splash of colour.

I'll do some more posts in the next few days showing the painting progress.
