Very sharp! Thanks for posting that.

Do you plan to have two trays for the pike, ie total of 16? And then each sleeve of Shotte will be 8?

Cheers

You are making me want to paint Pike an Shotte infantry. Nice painting, the yellow works well, what colours did you use recipe please?

I really like the GW tray approach, wish Id done my P&S this way, but I have painted over 150 of em now so no going back.

I too like the trays, but all my units are based with superglue so the travel doesn't come off. Which means the trooper won't come off either...

I am using the trays for Sudan. It will make breaking out skirmishers easy.

Looking very smart so far.

Yellow recipe is:

Base of Iyanden Darksun, washed with Gryphonne Sepia, deeper folds darkened with Devlan Mud with a final highlight of Iyanden Darksun but nothing further as I didn't want them to be too bright.

There will be 12 pike and 24 shotte as per the infantry box. I have only used trays as there are for me to keep, if they were going on eBay I would individually base them.

Ok, so 12 pike, how are you going to do that with the tray? A half tray? Curious, as the trays are limiting in that way (I still like the trays though)

The pike and command will go in two trays, the shotte in three.
