The horses for the mounted elements of my wars of the roses army are taking a bit longer to paint than I'd anticipated, but I'm almost there.
I've finished painting the unarmoured horses:
I've also made good progress on the armoured horses:
If all goes well I should finish painting them tomorrow, then it will be onto the riders. The horses don't have much left to do - painting the leather parts, the saddle-cloths and plumes and highlighting of the metal, then final washes to tie things together.
I wish I had your dedication to painting, all this Sars Covid-19 inactivity has sapped my painting mojo.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the caparisons by the by!
And very nice they look too!
ReplyDeleteWow!! You are a painting machine currently, Tamsin. What an amazing output!! :-)
ReplyDeleteAll coming along nicely Tamsin.
ReplyDelete@ Herkybird - cheers! :)
ReplyDelete@ Ray - thanks! :)
@ Simon - cheers! :)
@ Michael A - thanks! :)
Looking very smart. Lots of people painting Wars of the Roses stuff at the moment. I have never been brave enough to take on cavalry yet!
ReplyDeleteIf I blue my eyes, they look like decorated cupcakes. Or, fairy cakes.
ReplyDeleteThe quality and quantity of your work astounds me, Tamsin. Bravo!
ReplyDelete@ Legatus - thanks! I think that a large part of why I took so long getting around to this army was dread at the prospect of painting 28mm horses and all that armour. Luckily I got a practice run for the horses when I did my fantasy barbarian warband a couple of months ago. :)
ReplyDelete@ Whisk - your mind works in mysterious ways! :D
@ Curt - cheers! :)
