LOLI must admit to my fault that I had not caught the possibilities when I read BD answer about the "showing..."Cubster, one pint for you, if we ever happen to meet!Just made me laugh, that was a good one...

Obviously something happened in the transfer!

One of The Heavy Cavalry troop was a spare, odd figure i picked up from somewhere and i don't know what company made him...so he was made to ride at the back!....his head wasn't what i wanted....So eventually his time came and he got his bonce hacked off like so many in my army...and replaced with a new warlord one.....hope you all like him a bit more now..........so just to clarify his body isn't warlord........but his head is in the right place

.......Cheesey i know!

Painful surgery, but worth it...
By the way are the folks at warlords having to pull double shifts just to keep you supplied with enough attic helmeted heads??

How did you do the bronze armour? I can never seem to get decent coverage with gold paint.

BigMike....it is the rather fantastic Vallejo old gold 792....I normal paint over a light brown first, but this stuff is so good it doesn't need a brown undercoat really, one thing though you have to keep stiring it, but it is worth it. best paint i have ever used....then i use a brown wash also from Vallejo, but sometimes G.W devlin mud.

Paul and Mike Thanks guys, your comments are much appreciated!

I might adopt that one to supplement my current favourite Gold - Foundry 36B. Be nice to get a wee bit of variety.

Very nice. Finding the scorpio signum for them was a good touch.
