Zebraoutrider lets slip the Dogs of War
Bronzino’s Galloper Gun…
Bronzino’s Galloper Gun was my last purchase from the DoW range. At the time, I could afford one gun carriage and by the time I’d read the rules that additional gun carriages could be added, the GW range was no longer available. So we are stuck at one unit size, but that’s okay because for this potential army (as it’s becoming) I’ve already got in mind some further ballistic firepower…
Bronzino was already base-coated black so he needed to be painted up to match the rest of the crew using Retributor Gold and washed with Nuln Oil. In homage to and inspired by my community friend @horati0nosebl0wer I’ve attempted a dapple effect on the horse… it’s okay but not on par with his Mordheim Freelance on his Workbench blog.
The base was flocked with the same vibrant green as the Pikemen of Pugno but with the addition of some natural tree lichen to provide some cover and context for the overall base/vignette.
A well done unit and my thanks for the nod. Your build of the base really works for the display as a mini diorama in its own right.
Don’t be discouraged with the horse painting. Its not an easy task and comes more with a sudden jolt of insight. Look into George Stubbs and his horse painting for wrapping your head around how highlights fall on their short hair coats.
