WIP 30mm Flat, German Peasants War 1524-1525.

[billyturnip]

The title says German Peasants War but it could be any European army of the period and is designed in such a way that with a bit of surgery you can have either a pike or halberd.
The primed figure.



I think the halberd is the better version. The face has been painted with Titanium white + Burnt Sienna and a touch of Indian Red for the cheeks. The hair with Burnt Umber and highlighted with Naples Yellow, all oils.

Halberd definately Rog, the pike while possibly even short for the real size, just doesn't look right. The pike head also looks a bit cartoonish

Hi Roger

Nice to see your painting the flats again ...good figure ....is it part of a bigger set ?

Even clicking on picture to view it's small so all credit to your painting skill

Always good to see your artwork

Why not enter something into the class of your choice in our new FOTM

Thanks for sharing look forward to updates

Happy benchtime

Thanks fella's.
This is part of a large series from the Bauernkrieg but when the rest get done, if ever, is anyone's guess.

Hi Roger, good start. Think the figure will look great again when you are done with it! As always!!

Thomas, Ken Thanks for commenting.
Here's where I'm at just now.
Base colours applied and a bit of shading. It looks a bit rough at the moment but hopefully it will smooth out as a shade and highlight further.

You're doing great Graham. Don't be afraid to push the shadows further.
