3 more

Yes still on Burpa cavalry, and here are 3 more! I know and yet more to come. 5 more started and one shall be  finished by the time you read this.

I don't usually paint white (Greys)  horses, mostly sticking to various brown so this was a nice change for me. However I do not think I will paint any more for at least 3 months!

For the troops I have tried to stick to realistic colours for the clothing, mostly creams and beige. But with brighter turbans and waist sashes. This gives them more interest and to be honest stops me getting bored! Likewise with the shields. I did have problems with gold Acrylic paint, I always seem to. Therefore on these three figures there is a lack of Gold But I shall try to make it up on the next few, although now I have said that I regret saying it!

The final picture of the three shows all the group so far together. There will be more to coma and I hop to get them done soon, Weather permitting, but we have a 30 degree plus weekend forecast. Therefore I shall try to get most painting done long before the sun pours into this room!


PBB update

I now have the 4 players I wanted all signed up. I did invite 5 as a maximum but 1 declined as the game did not appeal to them. For those 4 I INTEND to send out the rules on Sunday. What is more I do intend to run it one blog post at a time. Which will mean that the game shall be slow but I will only be dealing with one person each post! This should mean much less work and hassle for me! (Fingers crossed!)

Football update:

We still Believe!

Faith has returned at least for now!

Until next time (Sunday I hope) take care have fun and dream big after all it does not cost you any more!

    1. Thank you Ray. White horses should be rare so no more for now. Maybe another much later! Don't want to over do it after all!

  4. More great looking Burpas Clint, the variations in colour add to the appeal, with the grey making it even more unique.
    Look forward to reading the rules on Monday, when I get back from the show

  5. Nice models. Judging from the slight variation in size would I be right in saying these are a mix of manufacturers? They still go well together, but just wondering.

    1. Thank you lee. As far as I am aware they are all foundry. They may appear different manufacturers due to the poses of the figures and some are on slightly rearing horses.

  7. Quite a dynamic bunch and the odd splash of colour here and there gives a nice break from an otherwise monotomous force.
    Please remmebr your camera if you have another game, I'd love to see all the figures you've done in action.

    1. Thank you Joe. It was a shame I forgot the camera that time. The game did look good and I would have liked to show it. Still I am sure there will be another chance sooner or later!
