Thanks!

Back again, this time with another varnish episode that went wrong, think I didn't shake the pot enough, so it's too much matt pigment, so parts of the models turned white. Had to do a black ink wash here and there. The guy with the sack is a 25 mm model I cast up, he can join the cannon crew until I get a better looking replacement.

Here I've tried to show the conversion of the guy holding the musket rest in the back rank. Was bloody tricky to get right and get musket, body, right arm and the rest to align in the same place.

Take a look at this handlebar moustache on the pikeman.

If Osprey announce a new title 'Facial Hair in the armies in Germany, 1631-32', I think we might suspect that we know the author!

Well, in between painting dwarves and goblins I've finally managed to finish the first half of my Imperial Croats from Old Glory. The models aren't perfect, the painting isn't perfect, the varnish went bad again, but I still think they're kinda cool. I'm pretty proud of the leopard and tiger skin on the captain and standard bearer, it was quite common among many peoples of the Balkans to use trophies from manly/endangered species such as lions, tigers, leopards, eagles and wolves.

Nice Croats. From today's view. I fear in 1618 it was just frightening to see them. ;)
