Prussia marches to war
15th Line Infantry
I painted this unit last month (how else did the project get such a swanky title picture?) I found it to be a real struggle as I tried to paint a whole unit in one go. I’ve learnt from my my mistake and from now on it’s 8 models at a time otherwise i lose all my mojo.
I started by undercoating them with my airbrush. Vellejo US grey, followed by a nuln oil wash to bring out the details
After that it was a case of blocking in the main colours followed by a wash, flesh wash, nuln oil, devlan mud and druchi violet dependant on part
Finally I added the white straps and touched up some detailing
They were ready to be based up. You’ll notice I did the Jaeger unit at the same time so this lot of painting was 34 miniatures. They are too similar to do this. It has to be broken up. I took a step back and did some Burrows and Badgers miniatures after this just to refresh myself
@chilledenuff these look great, finally nice to see another Prussian project on the site. I did a whole unit at once as well batch painting and i feel your pain, never again! Worth the pain though looking at the result.
Yeah, batch painting is much better than a whole unit at a time.. that way madness lies.
Thanks for the kind words ?
