Victrix Spanish - posted by Russell Briant, 19 April 2023

Was gifted a small horde of Victrix Spanish figures.

Very enjoyable to assemble.

Here’s my first trial base.

This is likely to be a many many month project.

Oops. A sword in the scabbard and another in the hand.

Fixed now….

    Brian Smaller If they never hurt anyone, it defeats the whole idea of having a sword.

      Stunning as always Russell. Are you layering off brown or something else?

        Rex Hurley Grey aerosol base primer then washed in grey contrast paint which becomes a shade.

        Then paint in all the block colours leaving much of the shade.

        Usually one highlight colour and then various washes.

        Or something like that.

        Do plan to use an undied wool palate for most tunics, whites, greys, browns through blacks.

        Vincent Cholewa. Initially Iberian Spanish. More heroic losers than cold blooded killers.

          Vincent Cholewa could pair up with the Caesarian Romans in my Ptolemaic army but not the Middle Imperials.

        Julian Hannam a more modest size horse would assist their range but that aside….
