Osbad's bangin' Gangs of Rome
First gang
First to get my attention was one of the two blisters of 3-person gangs.
I have to say they are nicely sculpted models. The first picture turned out a bit blurry, sorry! I’m not about the strip the models to take another photo, so you’ll have to wait for a better one till next time!
Being dressed in tunics with bare chests and arms, this was a great opportunity to use my Army Painter Barbarian Flesh spray. So that is what I did. Simple basecoat, wash, highlight for the rest and Robert’s your father’s brother. They were simple to paint – with enough detail in folds of cloth and buckles etc to be interesting and take spot highlights well, but no superfluous detail. That is something I like about historicals vis-a-vis fantasy models. A lot of fantasy models tend to go overboard, for my taste, on the filigree and extraneous decoration. There is still (for instance) texture to the hair, but it isn’t 4 (scale) feet long and all wafty!
nice work there sir. looking forward to seeing more 🙂
