    Oh my, these do look good. A military secret, how many colours and shades on the scales?

    Vincent Cholewa Hey Vince; I'm still perfecting the shades but at the moment the Bronze armour starts with a base of Game Colour Charred Brown and Air Colour Rust. Then shade the recesses with a mix of black and Game Colour Stormy Blue. Once dry add more Air Rust into the original mix before adding a final highlight of Game Colour Glourios Gold, ( a brown based gold colour). The bluish tinted bronze armour and chain mail is a base of Game Colour Sormy Blue, Scurvy Green, Black and Air Steel. Then shade the recesses with a mixture of Game Colour Stormy Blue, Scurvy Green and black. To Highlight, add more Air steel into the original mix taking care not to go "Full Steel". Be careful to only add small amounts of the Stormy Blue and Scurvy Green into your mixes so as to only add a hue to compliment other blues on the miniature. Hope that helps

    Hmm. Sources currently under siege in the Corromandel indicate the rides are in fact Sassanid. I have advised the US and Israel to prepare a drone......
