Evilstu's Historical Tinkering
Thirty Years War
Busy with work the last couple of months but as November this year is the 400th anniversary of the Battle of White Mountain, I have gotten it in my head to get some 30 years war stuff painted up by then. The good news is that I am going to get lots of practice on painting horses 🙂
Got my first unit of infantry painted up but I’m not really that taken with the colouring – it looks a little too ‘bright’ so I might see if I can tone it sown a little with a drybrush or similar.
Also, worked out that rather than running cavalry units in blocks of 12 I can get away with units of 8 – will mean I get more units for the same amount of money & time spent painting, they will be easier to maneuver on a tabletop, and the size will be more comparable with he size of the infantry blocks (well, in theory… Infantry blocks could be anywhere between 250 and and a couple of thousand men so scale is going to be a little fuzzy…).
Horsies...

3 more blocks of plastic inventory assembled and primed, ready to go
