As mentioned in the update below, Ian Logan at the Tyneside Club offered me his 15mm Ancient Spanish. Originally a very generous offer of ‘just take them’ we finally agreed a small cash/lead trade and I acquired the following box…
Bar a few odds and ends (generals and some more cavalry) and combined with the Spanish I have as part of my Punic armies this gives me a good standalone Spanish army for FoG.
However the painting style and basing aren’t going to git in with what I have. They’re neatly done but with no shading/highlighting…
So, as per my SYW Frenchies out came the Klear and the washing began! I tried a couple of the new Games Workshop washes first – Devlan Mud and Ogryn Flesh but the contrast wasn’t enough. I also tried the Coat d’Arms black wash but as before, I think because the figures are varnished the wash is repelled and just doesn’t take at all. So on with the Klear…
Not too bad a result and seeing as it was a first attempt with these, late at night, and I was tired and rushed, I’m quite happy. A few more to do though…
