Another 9

Yep still working on Burpas for Matt. and here are another 9.  Quite a colourful bunch. And now started my next 7 as well so matt's force should be growing quite nicely.

Yes I will do a group shot of the lot painted this time when they are all finished, so expect that on Saturday.

But for now just 9 more 28mm colonial figures. They are a mix of Foundry and Artizan, just like last time. And are mostly armed with muskets and daggers, although there is an unhealthy amount of swords smattered in as well.

Close ups of them in groups of 3. Nothing too special about either the painting of the figures but very suitable rank and file to bulk out the armies which with luck we will see on the battlefield (table-top) soon

With luck I will see you all again soon. Until then take care have fun and I for one must get some sleep.

  1. Very nice Clint :)

    How many Burpas have you painted for Matt so far? It would be great to see them all together at some point :)

    1. Thanks Tamsin. I am sure we will get to see them in a game at some point so that would be good.
      Another7-8 on the painting table at the moment and a group shot of the 24 all finished on Saturday. (Well that's the plan)!!

    1. Thanks Andy. 7-8 more to go. (In this batch). With a cannon so they will have some fire support. Matt I have discovered likes a cannon or two.

    3. The Point is even in a skirmish game with 8 figures a side Matt will try to get a cannon. He would use them in Bushido! (If he could!)

  4. Please don't take this the wrong way, but you're like a robot, constantly churning out these great painted minis. You're really on a roll with these Burpas.

    1. Thank you Bryan. I like to have a "production line" going at all times, which is why I struggle in the AHPC. (Too much stop start for me). Definitely not taken in the wrong way.

  5. I do like the colour variations you come up with for irreegulars, I find it very difficult (and not a little boring).
    Great group again and the treat of a cannon I hear...

    1. Thank you Joe. Colour combinations for irregulars can (and are) tricky at times. You want them to be different and somewhat random and yet fit in with the rest.

  6. Very colorful Clint. I like these a lot.

    1. Thank you Rod. I hope the next Burpa post does not disappoint. I should have a few all in one place before I give them back to Matt.

    1. Thanks Matt. I got a bit more done last night so I am on target.

      As for the Lurking figures I am sure when you are ready they will appear!

  8. I genuinely envy your Paint Monkey approach Clint. I wish I could do the same, especially as yours turn out so very well in such a short turnaround. Lovely stuff :-)
