Rooting Around - Turnip28 Spring Clean Challenge
Had a bit of fun getting the Snobs all painted up this weekend. The colour schemes for both essentially followed that outlined in an earlier post for the basic troops. The main differences were adding some selected extra highlights for the brighter colours. The blues had a final highlight of Vallejo Model Colour pastel blue, the red/violet areas had a mix of Vallejo Model Colour Red Violet and Citadel Emperor’s Children, whilst the final green highlights were a mix between Vallejo Model Colour Olive Green and Buff.
The steed was painted with Deepkin Flesh, but washed using Vallejo Sepia wash rather than the Umber wash used for everything else. Some thinned down Deepkin Flesh was then used as a highlight. The sack covering the head/neck was painted as per the Fodder backpacks, but with a second highlight of Vallejo Flat Earth mixed with some Buff.
The Toff on foot had an old citadel shield that I had kicking around added.
The banner and drummer have also been finished, following exactly the same painting scheme outlined for the Fodder and Chaff.
That's a better looking Regiment with someone to drum the pace and lead the way. However, it's still something - there's a standard bearer, but where's the flag?!
