Almost done with the 25th Dragoons. Forgot to mention how I am painting them and as a reminder I primarily use Games Workshop paints:
1. Primed black on the sprues.
2. Skin: Dark Flesh, then Dwarf flesh with a highlight of Elf Flesh.
3. Jackets: Dark Angels Green highlighted with Snot Green (yeah, I love the names too). Facing color is Blazing Orange and the buttons are White.
4. Coveralls: Adeptus Battlegray highlighted with Codex Gray.
5. Helmets: Dry brush metal with Shining Gold. Crest is Black lightly dry brushed with Codex Gray. Fur is Scorched Brown.
6. Gloves: Bestial Brown then wet brushed with Bone White and then White.
Most young boys (and some adventurous girls) play with Toy Soldiers; some never stop! I'm proud to say that I am one that never has stopped. Toy Soldiers, painting the figures, history and miniature wargaming is what this site is all about. May the God who gives encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had, so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
