In this post, I paint a Warhammer bowman<\/a>. \u00a0I’m using these guys to play SAGA<\/a>, though they may be, historically, a little later. \u00a0They look good, though, so I’m not really concerned.<\/p>\n

I painted 12 of them. \u00a0I primed them “Leather Brown” with spray primer from The Army Painter. \u00a0This way I could skip the fiddly leather strap, etc.<\/p>\n

I consider myself an average painter. \u00a0I’m not going to win any awards. \u00a0However, I think my troops look good on the table, and that’s the point, isn’t it?<\/p>\n

These first 3 pics are after a base coat only. \u00a0The face, however, has a base coat and a highlight coat. \u00a0He’s blue tacked to a craft stick (with 2 of his brothers) because I do basing after they are painted.<\/p>\n

These next 3 are after I painted the highlights:\"highlight_front\"<\/a> \"highlight_back\"<\/a> \"highlight_face\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And these final 3 pics are after a wash with The Army Painter Srong Tone:\"wash_front\"<\/a> \"wash_back\"<\/a> \"wash_face\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
